Fried chicken is not one of my specialties (meaning I've never made it ), but here is Paula Deen's recipe:

House Seasoning:

1 cup salt

1/4 cup black pepper

1/4 cup garlic powder

Southern Fried Chicken:

4 eggs

1/3 cup water

1 cup hot red pepper sauce

2 cups self-rising flour

1 teaspoon pepper

House Seasoning

2 1/2-pound chicken, cut into pieces

Oil, for frying, preferably peanut oil

To make the House Seasoning, mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

In a medium size bowl, beat the eggs with the water. Add enough hot sauce so the egg mixture is bright orange. In another bowl, combine the flour and pepper. Season the chicken with the House Seasoning. Dip the seasoned chicken in the egg, and then coat well in the flour mixture.

Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a deep pot. Do not fill the pot more than 1/2 full with oil.

Fry the chicken in the oil until brown and crisp. Dark meat takes longer than white meat. It should take dark meat about 13 to 14 minutes, white meat around 8 to 10 minutes.

We use this for the kids at the shelter where I work and they love it. We soak the chicken in milk with a shake of hot sauce, salt and pepper for anywhere from 1 - 4 hours first but we've done it without as well. We've also replaced the self rising with regular flour when we're out of selfrise and we lessen the amount of hot sauce as a lot of kids don't like it. It isn't quite as puffy with regular flour but the kids love it.
But, I'm a vegetarian so what do I know about fried chicken?

All I can say is.... you don't have to season wing dings overnight. You can cheat with the wingettes.

I would go with the wingette pieces...just soak in salted water for 1/2 hour,
season GENEROUSLY and dip, coat and fry.


next time try this stuff.... its great on fried chicken

We have the same recipe!!!

Po Ottie is in Europe poppin' buttons over fried yardbird.

Just get some flour and season it with salt, pepper, cayenne pepper and some LAWRY'S seasoning salt. I like to add that in addition to the other seasonings, but it HAS TO BE LAWRY'S! Don't use any other seasoning salt; it won't taste the same


Place all the ingrediants in a shallow dish. Use another shallow dish and place a couple of battered eggs in it. Rinse the chicken off and place the chicken into the egg dish to coat, then dip into the flour mixture. You can repeat if you want. Then place the chicken into the oil and fry. Voila

I've been craving wings dings tonight as well. Last time I craved them, I was pregnant




Smooches;)

I like to add a bit of paprika to that as well.

Girl, don't scare me


...and I agree about the LAWRY'S, there is no substitute...you ought to see me coming through customs every time I get back from home; they open my bags and see all those bottles of Lawry's (and cajun spice!) and think I have mental problems

Paula Deen is the cutest thing walking, but honey, I'm scared my arteries would spontaneously burst if I ever ate one of her recipes

SCNDLS said:

salt

pepper

1/4 cup garlic powder

flour

2 1/2-pound chicken, cut into pieces

bboy87 said:

The plastic bag is essential

Ottensen said:

one of them plastic bags from the grocery stores!

bboy87 said:

So true

Ottensen said:

Might be worth the risk

All her recipes do sound like they're rolled in fat, dipped in butter, and infused with cholesterol. Yum!

When I moved to Florida to be with Chris, I found myself with a spacious, well-equipped kitchen for the first time in my adult life. I can make all the butter-drenched delights my little heart desires.

Because of this, Christopher and I gained probably a combined 20 pounds in our first year of living together.

FunkMistress said:

Your kitchen is a dream. Mine is similar but the space is smaller. I danced in that little space like Julie Andrews and kissed the dishwasher btw I love butter

heybaby said:

I did the same thing. I still will randomly exclaim, "I love my kitchen!"

FunkMistress said:

I adore my kitchen and every now and then do a Vanna White flourish in front of my frigerator like I'm on the Price Is Right.
