Best Southern Fried Chicken Batter

I love seeing real recipes like these. Recipes like these are going way with our freeze dried packaged world. I've made real fried chicken a couple times and when properly made, it's amazing and nothing like the Mr. Sanders makes for us. Having said all that, I've read and have found that if, after you're all battered up and ready to fry, let it sit for a 1/2 hr under refrigeraton(I take it out after 15min and then 15 min at room temp) and the batter gets tacky and fries up ultra crisp. Fried chicken is truly a delicacy who's reputation has been marred by current day sloppy practices.
