Popeye’s Copycat Fried Chicken

Tips & Variations

• Use bone-in, skin-on chicken for the juiciest results. Boneless or skinless pieces can be used but may cook faster and require less frying time.
• For an extra crispy coating, double-dredge the chicken by dipping it back into the buttermilk briefly and then the flour mixture again before frying.
• Adjust the cayenne pepper or hot sauce to control the heat level according to your taste preference.
• If you prefer, bake the chicken at 400°F for 25–30 minutes after frying to ensure extra crispiness and thorough cooking for larger pieces.
