Popeye's Copycat Fried Chicken

With this Popeye's Copycat Fried Chicken recipe you can now replicate the great Popeye's chicken flavor at home.

Ingredients:

• 3 lbs of chicken pieces (with bones and skin)
• 3 cups of buttermilk
• 2 Tablespoons of Louisiana hot sauce
• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons of smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon of onion powder
• 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon of white pepper
• 1 teaspoon of black pepper
• 1 teaspoon of kosher salt
• Oil for frying (canola or peanut oil)
• 2 large bowls
• Deep fryer

Directions:

• In a large bowl, mix together the buttermilk and Louisiana hot sauce
• Add the chicken pieces to the mixture, making sure they're all soaked
• Put in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight to get maximum flavor
• When you're ready to cook, take the chicken out of the fridge and let it chill at room temperature for about 20 minutes
• Heat up the frying oil in a deep fryer or a large pot until it's around 350 F
• While the oil is heating, get another big bowl and mix together the flour, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, white pepper, black pepper, and salt
• Take each piece of chicken and coat it well in the flour mixture
• Shake off any extra flour and set the chicken aside
• Fry the chicken in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the fryer or pot
• It should take about 12 to 15 minutes for each batch, depending on how big the pieces are
• Look for that golden-brown color and make sure the internal temperature hits 165 F
• Take the chicken pieces out of the oil and let them rest on a wire rack to get rid of any extra oil
• Give them about 10 minutes to cool down before serving

Enjoy!
