This chicken is very tasty. Allowing the spices to sit overnight on the chicken, really added some wonderful flavor. I made it as written except for the following changes: I skinned the chicken (which I always do); and after coating the pieces, I put them on a wire cooling rack for 20-30 mins. to set the coating, before frying. I also used a cast iron chicken fryer. My family loved the flavor and moistness of this chicken. They gave it two big thumbs up. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. I will be making my fried chicken this way from now on.
