How To Make seventh heaven fried chicken

  • Step 1
    Brine the chicken in sweet tea for a day.
  • Step 2
    Mix salt, pepper, cornmeal, and flour in a shallow bowl. Drench the chicken in buttermilk before dredging it in the dry mixture.
  • Step 3
    Lard is the right temperature if the chicken only bubbles. After a few minutes turn the chicken, and then turn it again. When it's the color of straw put a lid on it, turn again after a few minutes, cover again, and turn again. Adjust the temperature as needed to keep the chicken at a bubble. The chicken is done when it stops bubbling.
  • Step 4
    Serve with cream gravy, honey mustard, hot sauce and honey, or straight.
