Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 pounds  Chicken (cut into pieces)
  • Eggs
  • 1/3 cup  Water
  • 1 cup  Hot red pepper sauce
  • 4 cups  Flour
  • 2 teaspoon  Pepper
  • 2 teaspoon  Paprika
  • 3 teaspoons  Cayenne pepper
  • 1 quart  Buttermilk
  • Salt, pepper (to taste)
  • garlic powder (to taste)
  • Peanut oil (for frying)

Instructions
 

  • Grab a big ol' bowl and throw in your cut-up chicken. Pour that creamy buttermilk all over it, making sure each piece gets a cozy bath. cover that bowl and pop it in the fridge for a cool two hours, or even overnight. 
  • In another large bowl, crack open the eggs and add water. Time to give it some kick with a generous drizzle of red pepper sauce. Grab that whisk and go to town, mixin' everything together until it's all nice and combined. 
  • In a large gallon freezer bag and dump in the flour. Add a pinch of pepper, a dash of paprika, and a sprinkle of cayenne. 
  • If you went the extra mile and marinated that chicken in buttermilk. Let any excess liquid drip off, and then it's seasoning time. Sprinkle a bit of salt, pepper, and garlic powder on the chicken pieces.
  • Drop each piece into the freezer bag, making sure every nook and cranny gets a good coating. Seal up the bag and give it a shake, lettin' that flour clings to the chicken like it's meant to be.
  • Heat up the oil in a deep fryer or a deep pan to a sizzling 350°F. You want it hot and ready, waiting to turn that chicken into golden perfection.
  • Time to fry! Take each chicken piece and gently drop it into the hot oil. Watch it sizzle and bubble as it cooks to a mouthwatering' golden brown. Keep an eye on it, turning it occasionally if the oil doesn't cover it completely. 
  • Let it cool for a bit, Grab a plate, pile that golden goodness high, and get ready for a flavour journey like no other. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with spicy goodness. 
  • It's Popeyes Spicy Chicken at its finest. Now go on, dig in, and savour every bite. Enjoy!
