Picnic-Perfect Fried Chicken
"This fried chicken recipe isn't called picnic-perfect for nothing - these super crunchy drumsticks taste equally great straight out of the fryer or eaten chilled the next day. Soaking them in buttermilk and hot sauce, then dredging them in a spice-laced flour mixture, guarantees a punch of flavor in each bite. Just be sure not to cover them while they're hot, or you'll have soggy crusts...."
