Fried Chicken

by Brava Chef Andrew

About this Recipe

This recipe is an ode to that favorite chain with those 11 secret herbs and spices. Now you can get those classic flavors at home, without a deep fryer or a trip through the drive through. Just make sure to marinate and double dredge—that’s what the colonel would have wanted. Chef Andrew recommends a strong hot sauce to accompany all this crispy chicken. Enjoy with your favorite side dishes - we love fries or cole slaw.
