Spicy Fried Chicken With Buttermilk Gravy image

This recipe is off a recipe card I got at a grocery store. It says that the recipe is from Mississippi Memories by Rick Rodgers, Delta Queen Steamboat Company. This recipe recaptures the sumptuous, southern eating traditions found on grand riverboats. This is southern fried chicken...kicked up a notch! Prep time does not include the chicken soaking time.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the gravy helped to make it more moist.

This was the best fried chicken I've ever had! The buttermilk gravy was the perfect complement to the crispy chicken.
