      2 ts Hot sauce
      2 c  All-purpose flour

  Fried chicken in the South has many variations. Here, a buttermilk
  marinade helps keep the meat tender and juicy underneath crisp, golden
  skin; pepper-speckled gravy and bacon add savor and smoke.
  
  Marinate chicken:
  
  Toss chicken with buttermilk, onion, Tabasco, and 2 teaspoons salt.
  Marinate chicken, covered and chilled, at least 12 hours.
  
  Coat and fry chicken:
  
  Put flour, paprika, cayenne, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon
  black pepper in a paper or plastic bag and shake to combine well.
  
  Drain chicken well in a colander, discarding marinade and onions, then
  shake chicken in bag, 1 piece at a time, to coat well.
  
  Knock off excess flour and transfer to a sheet of wax paper. Let
  chicken air-dry 30 minutes.
  
  Preheat oven to 250øF with rack in middle.
  
  Set a cooling rack in a large shallow baking pan.
  
  Meanwhile, cook bacon in 2 batches in a 12-inch heavy skillet over
  medium heat until browned and crisp. Transfer to rack in baking pan
  and keep warm in oven.
  
  Scrape up brown bits from bottom of skillet with a spatula and strain
  bacon fat through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, reserving bits in
  sieve.
  
  Wipe skillet clean and add strained bacon fat. Add enough oil to
  measure 1/2 inch fat in skillet and heat to 350øF over medium-high
  heat.
  
  Fry chicken 4 pieces at a time (keep each batch all white meat or all
  dark meat), skin sides down first, turning occasionally with tongs,
  until golden-brown and cooked through, 8 to 12 minutes for breasts and
  wings; 10 to 12 minutes for drumsticks and thighs.
  
  Transfer chicken to rack with bacon and keep warm in oven. Return fat
  to 350øF between batches and reserve after frying.
  
  Make gravy:
  
  Strain frying fat through sieve into a bowl, then return 1 tablespoon
  fat and all brown bits in sieve to skillet. (Discard remaining frying
  fat once cool.) Whisk in flour and cook roux over medium heat,
  whisking, 1 minute. Whisk in milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 teaspoon
  pepper and bring to a boil, whisking, then simmer, whisking, until
  thick, 3 to 5 minutes.
  
  Serve chicken with gravy and bacon.
  
  Cooks' note: Chicken can be marinated up to 24 hours.
