These were awesome!!! I floured them and put them in the fridge as the recipe states, then I floured them again and fried them. I finished them in the frying pan and served the sauce on the side. Wow I can fry chicken!! Thanks so much for a great recipe.

These were wonderful! I made this for some friends and it was all gone between the 4 of us. Didn't have to change a thing on the recipe. If you like spicy chicken this will be right up your ally. Thanks for posting this sgt_pepper
