🍗 Slap Ya Momma–Style Fried Chicken (Copycat Recipe)
🛒 Ingredients
Chicken
8–10 pieces of chicken (drumsticks, thighs, wings, or breasts)
Marinade
2 cups buttermilk
2 tbsp Slap Ya Momma Cajun Seasoning
1 tsp hot sauce (optional)
Breading
2½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp cornstarch (extra crunch)
1½ tbsp Slap Ya Momma seasoning
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp black pepper
½ tsp cayenne (optional heat)
For Frying
Peanut oil or vegetable oil (enough to deep fry)
👩🍳 How to Make It
1️⃣ Marinate (juiciness hack)
Mix buttermilk + Slap Ya Momma + hot sauce.
Add chicken, cover, refrigerate at least 2 hours (overnight = 🔥 flavor).
2️⃣ Season the flour
Whisk flour, cornstarch, Slap Ya Momma, paprika, garlic powder, pepper, cayenne.
3️⃣ Dredge like a pro
Pull chicken from marinade, let excess drip.
Coat heavily in seasoned flour.
Pro move: dip back into buttermilk, then flour again for extra-crispy crust.
4️⃣ Fry
Heat oil to 350°F / 175°C.
Fry in batches (don’t crowd the pan).
Cook 12–15 min until golden and internal temp hits 165°F / 74°C.
5️⃣ Rest
Drain on a rack (not paper towels) so it stays crunchy.
🔥 Extra Slap Factor (Optional)
Sprinkle a tiny bit of Slap Ya Momma on the chicken right after frying
Serve with honey, spicy mayo, or Louisiana hot sauce
🍽️ What Goes Perfect With This
Buttermilk biscuits
Coleslaw
Cajun fries
Pickles
If you want, I can hook you up with:
an air fryer version,
a baked crispy version, or
a homemade Cajun seasoning so you don’t even need the store blend 👀
