This recipe was a complete disaster for me. The search continues...

This was a good fried chicken recipe. The pieces were crispy on the outside, moist and hot on the inside. The coating had a little bit of spice and decent flavor. The only issue I had with it was that I had to quadruple the coating ingredients when I only had double the amount of chicken. Overall, though, this was a success.

two thumbs up! I had to almost quadruple the ingredients because I had a value pack - 14 legs; but nevertheless it turned out equally as tasty!
