List of Ingredients



• 4 large eggs
  
• 1/3 cup water
  
• 1 cup hot pepper sauce
  
• 2 cups self-rising flour
  
• 1 tsp ground black pepper
  
• House Seasoning (recipe follows)
  
• 1 (2 1/2 lb) chicken, cut into pieces
  
• Oil for frying, preferably peanut oil
  






Instructions



1. In a medium bowl, beat eggs with water. Add hot sauce so that the egg mixture is bright orange.
   
2. In another bowl, combine flour and pepper.
   
3. Season chicken with House Seasoning.
   
4. Dip seasoned chicken in egg mixture, then coat well in flour mixture.
   
5. Heat oil to 350 in a deep pot. Do not fill the pot more than 1/2 full with oil.
   
6. Fry the chicken in oil until browned and crispy. Dark meat takes longer than white meat. It should take dark meat about 13 to 14 minutes; white meat takes around 8 to 10 minutes.
