This week has been a dreary one guys. Rain every day and also forecasted for the foreseeable future! Whomp whomp. I just couldn't live in a place without lots of sunshine because I would eat all the things and take way too many naps! This kind of weather makes me crave comfort food of all varieties and since I grew up in Tennessee, a serious comfort food for me is homemade fried chicken! That's why you have to try my delicious homemade Nashville hot chicken anytime you are craving something comforting, a little decadent, and utterly mouth watering!

Y'all true confession this was my first go at frying chicken when I started testing recipes all by my lonesome in my own kitchen. I mean I grew up helping my mom and watching my Great Great Aunt Blanche do it over and over again in their big cast iron skillets, but I hadn't taken on the task for myself mostly because we just don't eat fried food that often! So when I was approached to create this recipe for eHow, I jumped at the chance because I love a good excuse to try something new, but that was also so familiar and nostalgic for me!

I am not lying when I tell you that this fried chicken might be the best chicken I have ever eaten in my life...just ask my hubby who will tell you the exact same thing! (Just don't tell my mom...) It's moist on the inside, has a crispy outer crust, and is sweet and spicy and everything you want in a splurge meal!

You simply have to try out this recipe and let me know what you think after you do! It's hands down one of the best dishes I have ever made!
