Recipe Summary
Prep Time: 10 minutesCook Time: 14 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
List of Ingredients
3 eggs
1/3 cup water
About 1 cup hot red pepper sauce (suggested: Texas Pete)
2 cups self-rising flour
1 teaspoon pepper
House seasoning, recipe follows
1 (1 to 2 1/2-pound) chicken, cut into pieces
Oil, for frying, preferably peanut oil
Recipe
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 shortening. Fry the chicken in the shortening until brown and crisp.
Dark meat takes longer then white meat. It should take dark meat about 13
to 14 minutes, white meat around 8 to 10 minutes.
House Seasoning:
1 cup salt
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder
Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6
months.
