Categories     Chicken     Fry

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 Frier Chicken cut into 8 pieces
Batter:
1 egg
1 tsb cayanne pepper powder
2 tsb paprika
1/2 tbsp salt
2 tsp ground pepper
2/3 cups all purpose flour
1/2 Cup water
1/2 c all purpose flour

Steps:

  • Mix batter ingredients and add water until batter is slightly thinner than pancake batter (Roughly 1/2 cup water) Soak chicken pieces in batter for 18 minutes. Place 1/2 c all Purpose in a second bowl or large zip lock bag for coating the drained pieces in flour. Heat oil to 350 degrees F When oil is ready, drain chicken pieces from the batter for a minute and dredge in flour, one piece at a time. Move the dredged chicken immediately to the hot oil before dredging another. If you let it sit, the crust will be too hard. Deep fry until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 155 (allowing for carryover) agitating and flipping twice during the cooking to ensure even cooking. Drain the cooked chicken on cookie sheets over newspaper or just on paper towels.
