Steps:
- In a medium bowl, add the salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, and cayenne and mix until combined. In a another medium bowl, combine half of the spice mix with the flour, mixing until the spices are evenly distributed.
- Add the chicken to a large bowl and sprinkle with the remaining spice blend. Mix until all the chicken pieces are evenly coated.
- Pour the buttermilk over the chicken and stir until the residual spices from the chicken have blended in with the buttermilk to create a light orange color. Marinate the chicken in the fridge for 2 hours, or overnight.
- Heat the oil to about 325°F (160°C) in a large cast-iron skillet.
- Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip them back into the buttermilk mixture, then back into the flour. Make sure to shake off excess flour or it'll burn while frying.
- Fry 3-4 chicken pieces at a time, occasionally turning them over. Cook for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown, crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Rest the cooked chicken pieces on a wire rack to let excess oil drain off.
- Drizzle the chicken with honey, then serve.
- Enjoy!

GUSSIES'S FRIED CHICKEN WITH PECAN HONEY GLAZE
This is one of Paula Deen's recipes. It reminds me very much of sweet & sour Chinese chicken! If you have a deep fat-fryer, by all means use it.

HONEY PECAN GLAZED FRIED CHICKEN
I lived in Savannah GA for several years when I was growing up. There is a restaurant there that my mother used to take me to called the Pirate House. It is a very old historic restaurant that goes back to the 1700's and has under ground tunnels that you can see in the restaurant. It is also haunted! Anyway they have this...

Steps:
- 1. Wash the chicken and pat dry. Place the buttermilk and eggs in a 9x13 baking dish and mix. Place the chicken into the buttermilk dish. With a spoon cover the tops of chicken with the buttermilk mixture. Set out for at least an hour flipping the chicken once after 30 min. You can also leave this in the fridge covered over night too for extra flavor and tenderness.
- 2. Combine all the dry ingredients together in a baking dish. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture and fry in the fryer for 12-14 minutes or deep skillet for 6-7 minutes on each side at 350 without crowding.
- 3. Meanwhile while chicken is frying, melt the butter in a small sauce pan over med-heat . Pour in the honey and mix together with the butter. Place the pecans in the mix and bring to a boil on med heat and then quickly reduce to a simmer on low for 8-10 minutes mixing occasionally. Keep an eye on this because you don't want it to caramelize. Take off stove and set aside till all chicken is done frying.
- 4. When chicken is done frying drain it on a paper towel lined plate. Transfer drained chicken onto a serving platter and drizzle the honey pecan glaze all over the chicken. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Wash and drain chicken.
- Soak in buttermilk (enough to cover the pieces) for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat shortening or oil to 375 degrees in an electric or cast iron skillet (should be enough hot oil to come half-way up the chicken when placed into the skillet). Place seasoned flour in a paper bag.
- Shake off excess buttermilk from chicken and drop into bag of flour, two or three pieces at a time, and shake to coat.
- (Option: For a thicker, crispier chicken, remove piecesfrom flour, dip in buttermilk a second time and shake them in flour mixture again.)
- Place coated chicken pieces in hot oil and reduce the heat to 325 degrees.
- Cook chicken for 10 minutes on one side, flip chicken over, and cook another 10 minutes on second side.

- For the glaze, melt butter over low heat. Whisk in honey until blended.

Tips:
- Use a combination of bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces for the best flavor and texture.
- Make sure the chicken is completely dry before frying to prevent splattering and ensure even cooking.
- Fry the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure that each piece cooks evenly.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pan or Dutch oven to maintain a consistent frying temperature.
- Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper before frying for maximum flavor.
- Transfer the fried chicken to a wire rack to drain off excess oil and keep it crispy.
- While the chicken is frying, make the pecan honey glaze by combining pecans, honey, vinegar, mustard, and cayenne pepper in a saucepan and bringing to a simmer.
- Once the chicken is cooked, brush it with the pecan honey glaze and return it to the oven for a few minutes to caramelize the glaze.
- Serve the fried chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or coleslaw.
