Chook Me!

Does anyone have a fantastic fried chicken recipe for "extra crispy and a little spicy?"?

I make pretty good fried chicken and have seen a few different ingredients such as baking powder -- just wondered your thoughts on making it as crispy as possible-- maybe frying it in deeper fryer instead of a skillet?
