fried chicken
This is more work and more time than a standard recipe, but I've got a few days off so I went for it.
Marinate chicken in buttermilk and hotsauce in the fridge overnight (I left it in there for two days, but that's because I started with frozen wings. And also kinda forgot they were in there.)
Remove chicken from the buttermilk mixture and let drain on a cooling rack for about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Coat chicken in seasoned flour (I used mexican seasoning this time, you can easily use Mrs. Dash or something similar.) Dunk chicken back in buttermilk mixture, then recoat in flour. Let chicken sit about 15 minutes so the coating can set.
Cut one sweet onion into large chunks and drop into oil to flavor it. Once oil is hot enough (I use the end of a wooden spoon to test; if the oil bubbles around the wood, it's hot enough.) I used wings, so I only had to fry them for 15 minutes; other sections of the chicken will likely need an additional 5-10 minutes. Remove from oil, drain, serve with your favorite sides. I think it'll be mashed potatoes and peas today.
