Picnic Fried Chicken

My intent was to grill out this weekend and then it went up over 90 so I decided a fried chicken recipe sounded good to me instead. I haven’t made fried chicken since last winter so once every 6 months it isn’t going to kill you. I so rarely eat fried foods these days but once in a while it sure tastes good and I love this chicken cold, making it a perfect summertime chicken recipe.

This chicken starts out in a spicy buttermilk marinade, at least 2 hours and preferably 4 hours. Chicken tenders would work very well in this marinade also, just do 2 hours max and cut the frying time until at least half of the time.
