recipe
Hunter Cattle organic ½ chicken
2 cups buttermilk
¼ cup Hot sauce
*We use a vinegar based hot sauce–Franks or Crystal
2 tbsp pickle juice
1 qt flour
3 tbsp onion powder
¼ cup Old Bay Seasoning
3 tbsp garlic powder
2 tbsp salt
1 tbsp black pepper
*”Oil is a preference”, says Chef Witwer, “At home I use beef tallow, in the restaurant we use canola oil. A blend of soy and canola is common but we don’t use it because of soy allergies.”

- Marinate the chicken pieces in buttermilk, hot sauce and pickle juice.
- After your chicken has marinated overnight, double bread the chicken.
- Fry at 350 degrees in oil*.
- Using a thermometer, stick into the thickest part of the chicken and cook until 165 degrees.
