This recipe came from Paula Deen who has a cooking show on the Food Network. This chicken is so good. The house seasoning is made in bulk. You can store this for several months.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 eggs
1/3 cup water
1 cup hot red pepper sauce (does not make chicken spicy)
2 cups self rising flour
1 teaspoon pepper
2 1/2 lbs chicken, cut into pieces
peanut oil or vegetable oil
1 cup salt
1/4 cup pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder

Steps:

  • Mix seasoning together and store in airtight container for up to 6 months.
  • In medium bowl, beat eggs with water. Add enough hot sauce so mixture is bright orange.
  • In another bowl, combine flour and pepper. Season chicken with house seasoning. You can let the chicken sit in hot sauce for up to 1 hour. It will not make the chicken spicy.
  • Dip Chicken in egg and coat well with flour mix.
  • Heat oil to 300 degrees in deep pot. Don't fill pot more than half full of oil.
  • Fry chicken in oil until brown and crispy. Dark meat goes in first and takes 13-14 minutes. White meat takes 8-10 minutes.
  • Preparation depends on how long you let the chicken soak in hot sauce.

SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN

Thanks Paula Deen (FoodTV) for the best fried chicken I have ever made! It has a nice, savory flavor and a coating that has just the right amount of crispiness. It was a good thing I had an extra cut-up chicken in the refrigerator because my family was begging for it again the next day. Although it calls for what seems like a lot of hot pepper sauce, it isn't any spicier than Jack-In-the Box's Spicy Crispy Chicken--you can take it!! FYI I made this using 10 pounds of wings--enough of the hot sauce/egg mixture to cover, but you will need to double flour mixture if you want to do this much. I'm not saying it tastes like KFC--only that you won't be doing business with them anymore.

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs cut-up chicken
4 eggs
1/3 cup water
1 cup hot sauce (I use Louisiana Hot Sauce, Tabasco might be hotter)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Heat peanut oil in a large deep pot to 350°F (do not fill more than half full--you don't want a hot-oil spill-over accident!).
  • For sauce mixture: in a medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs with the water.
  • Add hot sauce and whisk together well.
  • Pour this mixture into a large plastic zip-top bag.
  • For seasoning mixture: In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
  • For dredging mixture: In a another bowl, mix flour, baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • Rinse and pat dry chicken pieces with a paper towel.
  • Cut breast pieces in half across ribs.
  • Sprinkle chicken generously on both sides with seasoning blend.
  • Drop a few chicken pieces of chicken into bag of sauce mixture and squish around to coat thoroughly.
  • One piece at a time, roll chicken in flour mixture and drop into hot oil.
  • Don't crowd chicken pieces--I cook about half the chicken at a time.
  • Fry chicken until brown and crisp.
  • Drain on paper toweling.
  • Dark meat will take about 14 minutes, white meat about 10 minutes.
  • Remember smaller pieces cook faster than the larger ones.
  • You can check for doneness by piercing to the bone in the thickest part with a fork.
  • If the juices run clear, it is done.
