Number Of Ingredients 13

HOUSE SEASONING:
3 eggs
1/3 cup water
1 cup hot sauce, such as Frank's Red Hot or Texas Pete
Tabasco, to taste
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon pepper
1 (2 to 2 1/2 pound) chicken, cut in pieces
Peanut oil, for frying
1 cup salt
1/4 cup pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder
Mix all together in an airtight container and will keep for 6 months.

Steps:

In a medium sized bowl, beat the eggs with the water. Add about 1 cup of Hot sauce till the egg mixture is bright orange. Add some tabasco to taste if you'd like. I did. Mix well. Season your washed and dried chicken pieces with the House Seasoning. Marinate the pieces of chicken in the egg mixture, covered, in the refrigerator for 6-12 hours. Combine the flour and pepper. Dip pieces of chicken one at a time into the flour mixture. I found it is better to flour the chicken immediately before being plunged into the oil. Heat oil to 350°F in a deep pot. Don't fill more than half way. Fry chicken in oil till brown and crisp. Dark meat takes longer than white meat. Dark pieces should take 13-14 minutes and white meat 8-10 minutes. Make sure to bring the oil back to 350°F between batches. Done. This is very good leftover also!
