    1 (4 1/2 pound) fryer chicken, cut into 10 pieces
    1/2 cup each hot-red-pepper sauce and buttermilk
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
    4 cups vegetable oil
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 tablespoon Creole seasoning

    Put chicken into 1-gallon plastic food-storage bag. In bowl, whisk pepper sauce, buttermilk, salt and pepper; pour in bag. Refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.

    Drain chicken. Pour oil into large, deep cast-iron skillet; attach deep-fry thermometer to side of skillet. Heat oil to 360 degrees F.

    In bowl, combine flour and 2 teaspoons Creole seasoning. Dredge several pieces of chicken at a time in flour mixture. Fry chicken, 5 pieces at a time, until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels or brown-bag-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with remaining Creole seasoning. Serve hot or at room temperature, with slaw if desired.
