For extra crispy chicken, double-dredge each piece in the flour mixture before frying. Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying; this helps to prevent the chicken from becoming greasy. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preference. For a milder flavor, reduce the amount or omit it altogether. The baking step is crucial to ensure the chicken is cooked through, especially near the bone.
