momma's recipe for southern fried chicken

The very first thing I do is brine my chicken, I use 2 tbsp of salt to1 gallon of water.I allow it to brine for about an hour. I then transfer my chicken to a gallon ziplock bag with 2 cups of buttermilk mixed with 1 egg and  I allow this to marinade in the refrigerator for about an hour or 2. I then transfer the marinaded chicken to a ziplock bag of seasoned flour. I used about1 1/12 cups of self rising flour, 1 1/2 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of pepper, 1 tsp of poultry seasoning, 1 tsp of cayenne pepper, I will say that this is a really great recipe and it is an old family recipe also the family loves it.

I'mmmmmmmmm Back

I'm Back,  I have been sick for a little while, but I am back. I am still suffering from a bad case of hayfever, but I am going to post. I hate spring, I have asthma, and for the next few months for me at least it is hell on earth. I am severly allergic to pollen tree, grass, ragweed and goldenrod. My whole face is swollen and my throat. The worse part of  this is I love flowers and I love to garden too. I am going to make the most of this.
I am having a lot of trouble with asthma and it has kept me down for a while, but I am going to get back up.
