The next time you are in the mood for making fried chicken, you definitely need to give this repine a try! I absolutely love the spice blend combo. It gives it the perfect balance of flavor and pairs really nicely with the chicken. You might want to make a double batch, because this meal is going to be one the whole family will want seconds of. Enjoy!

2. The next day, your going to put all of your spices mixed with flour in a plastic bag. Your going to place your chicken in the bag and shake until the chicken is fully coated in your flour mixture. Be sure to remove any excess flour.
