Ingredients:  
1 tablespoon Duck Commander Cajun Seasoning (mild or zesty)
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon chili pepper
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
1 chicken (3 1/2 to 4 1/2 pounds), cut up, or purchase just the parts your family eats
2 large eggs
2 cups buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
Cooking oil, for frying
2 cups all-purpose flour
Directions:
Directions:
In a large bowl, mix together the Cajun seasoning, pepper, salt, chili powder, and Old Bay. Roll the chicken pieces in the seasoning mixture. If you need more seasoning, mix more. In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Mix the buttermilk and Tabasco. Add the chicken pieces and make sure they are all coated. Fill the skillet about 1/2 full with oil. Turn on to medium-to-high heat. One at a time, take the chicken pieces out of the bowl and roll them in the flour. Set aside. When the oil is hot (350°F), carefully add the chicken pieces. Brown them on all sides. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes more, turning as necessary, until cooked through. The chicken should turn a golden brown. Use a fork to test. (The juices should be clear.) Drain on paper towels and serve.
