Buttermilk and Sesame Seed Fried Chicken

http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.d...0307/1036/LIFE

MARINADE:

1½ cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
3 medium garlic heads (crushed)
1 teaspoon sugar

CHICKEN:

3½-4 pounds chicken parts
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 cups vegetable shortening
1 cup bacon fat

Stir together marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add the chicken and turn
to coat. After marinating, remove chicken and let air dry 30-35 minutes
on a rack.

Mix the flour and seasonings in a bowl or paper bag. Heat the oil and
bacon fat to 350 degrees. Coat the chicken with the seasonings and
gently lay the chicken pieces skin-side down in the hot fat. Once the
bottom side has browned, turn and brown the second side, making sure
the chicken is not cooking too quickly. Total cooking time is generally
about 20 minutes. Makes 2-3 servings.

Rusty, I'd like to point out that some newsreaders (not mine, but anyway...)
have a problem reading the single-character representations of fractions.
Rather than "½" they see a blank rectangle or a question mark. Whenever I
cut-and-paste a recipe to post, I always go through and type out the full
fractions, e.g., "1/2" instead of "½".

Thanks for the recipes!

Bob
