Hot Ranch Fried Chicken Recipe

There’s something I love about some heat when I eat. Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce is my secret ingredient in many dishes. I love it in Clam Chowder as a topping, and this fried chicken recipe, which might soon be your favorite. There is so much flavor that complements the delicate, crisp ranch crust. I promise you’ll want more!
