Southern Fried Chicken
January 21st, 2007 by hungrybastard
This is your pretty standard fried chicken but standard as it may be, it is quite good!
For a little spice you might try adding some Cayenne pepper to the breading mixture.
Ingredients:
- 2 (2-3 lb) whole chickens, cut into pieces
- 3 c. all-purpose flour
- 5 tbsp seasoned salt
- 3 tbsp garlic powder
- salt & pepper, to taste
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
Directions:
- In a shallow plate or bowl, mix the flour, seasoned salt, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Roll or shake the chicken pieces in the flour mixture and place on a platter. Then dip each chicken piece in the egg and roll again in flour mixture.
- In a large skillet, heat oil for frying. Fry coated chicken pieces in hot oil for about 5 minutes on each side.
- Cover skillet and cook on lower heat for about 10 minutes.
- Remove cover, turn up heat and fry for 5 minutes on each side to make chicken crispy. Chicken is done when it is no longer pink inside and its juices run clear. Drain fried chicken on paper towels and keep warm in oven until ready to serve.
