Steps:
- In a large bowl, lined with a brining or roasting bag, combine buttermilk, garlic, onion slices, 1/2 cup hot sauce and salt (if using).
- Add chicken and tie the bag close so that the chicken is completely submerged in the brine.
- Refrigerate for up to 3 hours.
- Pour off the brine and shake off excess brine from chicken. (You can rinse if desired. I didn't)
- Combine the seasoning blend.
- Taste the seasoning blend to make sure it is salty and spicy enough for your taste. Adjust the seasoning if needed.(It should taste bold)
- Place chicken on a baking tray and sprinkle on up to half of the seasoning mixture generously over the chicken on both sides. Set aside.
- Mix the rest of the spices into the flour. DO THIS GENTLY. IF THAT SPICY FLOUR "SMOKE" GETS IN YOUR NOSTRILS IT WILL BURN. TRUST ME. Taste the flour and make sure it tastes seasoned Add in more seasoning to your liking. Flour SHOULD taste seasoned. (I usually add in more salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne)
- Place the flour mixture into a large paper bag.
- Add chicken to the bag.
- Close the bag tightly and shake to coat the chicken.
- Remove the coated chicken from bag and shake off the excess flour. Set aside.
- In a large dish, combine eggs, water, hot sauce and garlic powder.
- Dip each piece of coated chicken into the egg mixture and shake off the excess egg mixture. (Use one had to place the chicken in the mixture and the other hand to pull it out to minimize clumping)
- Place chicken back into paper bag and shake to coat one last time.
- Remove chicken from bag and place on a plate. It's time to fry!
- Add oil to deep skillet and heat until a test piece of flour fries gently. (about 350 degrees. See Note)
- Add chicken to skillet and cook until golden. (Oil should completely cover chicken. Fry dark meats together and white meats together. Do not overcrowd the pan.)
- When done, place chicken on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
- Sprinkle with cajun seasoning as soon as the chicken come out of the oil, if desired.
- Serve hot and add hot sauce!

Steps:
- Pat the chicken dry. Place the chicken in a large bowl, season it with the salt, pepper, cayenne, white pepper, garlic powder, and hot sauce, and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.☞TESTER TIP: The longer you let the chicken stay in the fridge, the more thoroughly the seasonings will permeate the chicken.
- Remove the chicken from the bowl, allowing any liquid to drip back into the bowl, and place it in a clean bowl. Pour the buttermilk over the top.
- Heat the lard, vegetable shortening, or bacon fat in a large cast-iron skillet until it registers 350°F (176°C) on an instant-read thermometer or a pinch of flour immediately sizzles when dropped into the fat.
- While the oil heats, remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing any excess liquid to drip off, and place the chicken in yet another clean bowl.
- Sprinkle the chicken with the flour and toss to coat.
- When the oil is ready, add the chicken pieces to the skillet in batches, starting with the larger pieces and shaking off any excess flour before adding them to the oil. Do not crowd the skillet. For the crispest results, you want ample room around each piece in the oil. Cook the chicken, using tongs to turn the chicken occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 8 minutes on each side. Keep an eye on the temperature of the oil, making sure the oil doesn't get too hot.
- Transfer the fried chicken to a plate lined with paper towels or a brown paper bag. Return the oil to temperature before frying each subsequent batch of chicken. The smaller pieces will take about 6 minutes on each side.
