1/2 cup each hot-red-pepper sauce and buttermilk

In bowl, combine flour and 2 teaspoons Creole seasoning. Dredge several pieces of chicken at a time in flour mixture. Fry chicken, 5 pieces at a time, until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels or brown-bag-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with remaining Creole seasoning. Serve hot or at room temperature, with slaw if desired.
