Ingredients

  • 8 pieces of chicken (drumsticks & thighs = maximum juiciness)
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • Volcanic Sunset (aka your new obsession) – to taste
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • High-heat oil or lard for frying

Instructions

  1. Marinate the magic
    In a large bowl, pour buttermilk over your chicken pieces and let them soak for at least 30 minutes (longer = juicier).

  2. Mix up the magic dust
    In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, and as much Volcanic Sunset as your tastebuds can handle. We’re talking bold.

  3. Heat things up
    Bring oil or lard to 350°F in a heavy pot. (Use a thermometer or toss in a pinch of flour and look for sizzle).

  4. Batter up
    Take chicken from the buttermilk bath, let it drip, then coat it like it owes you money. Get into all the cracks.

  5. Fry it up
    Gently place chicken in hot oil, skin side down. Fry about 7–8 minutes per side until deeply golden, crispy, and begging to be devoured.

  6. Cool your jets
    Remove and let drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Let it rest a couple minutes... if you can wait that long.

Pro Tip

Want it extra wild? Hit that crispy skin with a light dusting of Volcanic Sunsetafter frying. Boom. Mic drop.
