Method

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, hot sauce, and 1 tablespoon of the kosher salt. Add the chicken pieces and turn to coat every surface, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight. This brine seasons the meat deeply and helps keep it moist during frying.
