Hey cousins! I have another fried chicken recipe for you to enjoy. This time around we’re going to make Spicy Fried Chicken. In the past I’ve share Waffle Fried Chicken, Traditional Southern Fried Chicken, and even Coconut Curry Fried Chicken. Since y’all loved those recipes so much, I thought it would only be right to add this recipe to your collection.
First things first. If you don’t like spicy food, this is not the recipe for you. If want something a tad bit spicier, feel free to add more red pepper flakes, or a dash of cayenne pepper.
Watch me make this Spicy Fried Chicken!

- 2 tsp creole seasoning or seasoning salt
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried thyme

Instructions
- Make sure the chicken is nice and clean before anything. Then drizzle the hot sauce all over the chicken then set the chicken to the side.
- Preheat the oil to 350-360 F.
- Now grab a large freezer bag, and add in the flour, seasonings, and herbs. Shake the bag to ensure that everything is well mixed.
- Start tossing the chicken into the seasoning flour, close the bag, then shake. Make sure the chicken is well coated, then remove it from the flour.
- Once the oil is nice and hot, start adding in the chicken. Be sure not to over crowd the fryer/ pan!
- Fry the chicken until it's golden brown, and fully cooked.
- Serve and enjoy with your favorite sides.

Thank Jo Ann!!! I’ve been working hard for you all behind the scenes 😉
I just found you today on YouTube. I’m checking out all your recipes. I’m going to be making the Spicy Fried Chicken tomorrow cant wait it looks so good.

I love your recipes
Thanks so much!
Love to see the cabbage and green and perhaps another side. Fruit salad if you have one.
Hi Deborah. The Greens and Cabbage is here….
I work with your cousin in the portland area. He turned me on to you. I imagined you were a great cook but you are more than that. You are a great teacher who is more relatable than most all. I love what you doing.
Which cousin?
Hey Ma’am. The chicken in the video looks amazing. I have one small question. Did you brine the chicken before you cooked it for the video?
You can if you choose, but you don’t have to 😉
I just start following your recipes a couple of months ago and I really enjoyed all the recipes I have tried looking forward to trying these spicy wings.
I love me some chicken wings! I used to own a deep fryer but I have one of those copper deep square frying pans with the wired basket and I will be cooking these wings in that pan this weekend. Thanks for all the DELISH recipes. Also I am a chicken liver lover. Do you have a good recipe for fried chicken liver with onions and gravy? I make these about 3 or 4 times a year. I would eat them more often but my husband can’t stand the smell of liver lol.
Blessed Be!
Hi Rosie, do you think it would be OK to marinate the chicken in the hot sauce overnight? Glad to see you back and thanks so much for sharing your great recipes!
Yes, that should be fine 🙂
Love spicey foods…this is on the menu for this weekend. Glad to see your smiling face again!
XOXO
Rosie, you are just like your Chicken, spicy and hoy
LOL!!!
Can I use anything else besides the hot sauce to coat it just seen ur video n loving it
Sure, try egg whites.
I made this for my hubby and he loved it!!! His friends did too. I’ve also used your soul food tans recipe and that was a hit in my house hold as well
What kind of fryer is that?
Hamilton Beach 12 cup deep fryer
I just think you are the bomb….I always use your recipes with most of my cooking and by the way you are such a beautiful sister/lady thanks for sharing with us…keep on keeping on.
Just found you,loved the chicken
After trying a few recipes I finally found this one and it turned out great! I’m going to be making this from now on.
