this chicken is great. the people that say its too salty arnt doing it right. you only use about a table spoon of the house seasoning not the whole thing..
Awesome Chicken!

Being a true Georgia girl I thought I knew all about fried chicken but this recipe proved me wrong. I have three sons aged 17, 23, and 29 and they raved on and on about it. This will not be the last time this is cooked at my home for sure.

This was my first attempt to fry chicken, and I must say it was delicious! My husband sat right by the fryer and ate it as soon as it finished cooking. It was even better cold the next day. The only thing I would do differently is cook fewer pieces at one time. My electric skillet had a hard time keeping the temperature up with eight pieces of chicken cooking at once. Surprisingly, the chicken wasn't hot. The sauce gave it a wonderful flavor.
Perfect everytime

This is a wonderful fail proof recipe! My husband loved my fried chicken before, but now he really loves it. I was worried at first about the hot sauce because I can't handle anytype of heat, including black pepper. Paula said that the heat would cook out and just leave the flavor. She was right! I had no problem devouring it, and I'm the girl who orders naked wings (mild too spicy most times). My mother in law used this recipe also and for the first time in her life was successful at fried chicken. She was so excited, she literally jumped up and down. I thought she would cry. The only variation I made was that I fry using Canola oil instead of peanut oil. My youngest son is allergic to peanuts and we don't take any chances. The chicken fried up the same as my MIL who used peanut oil.
amazing chicken

Paula Deen does it again! This recipe is relatively easy to make, and the end result is what is to be expected from Ms. Deen! However, I was using a Teflon-coated pan (T-Fal brand); it seemed as though the coating got done before the chicken did so I had to extend the cooking time a bit which was a challenge as to not burn the coating. I believe next time I will use a cast-iron skillet. It heats more evenly and it's easier to work in than the pan I used.
Fantastic!

I decided to try my hand at southern fried chicken yesterday and got rave reviews!! I lightly seasoned the chicken and bagged it in the refridgerater for a few hours prior to frying. I also didn't know if I was going to deep fry or pan fry. I chose pan fry with cast iron skillets. Crisco vegetable shortening was used in place of the peanut oil. bottom line.......15 pieces of chicken....4 guys....no leftovers!!! Thank you Paula!

I rarely make fried chicken at home because it's too much trouble...Well this is worth it. My family all agreed that this was the best chicken that I had ever fixed. The hot sauce gives it just a little heat..it's delicious. I did have alot of left-over egg mixture, next time I'll cut that back a little. I browned mine in a cast iron skillet and finished off in a 400 degree oven.

I couldn't properly season and perfectly fry chicken to save my life. This recipe and Paula Dean have "saved" me. The coating is to die for although if you don't like your chicken too hot, or if you're serving kids, go easy on the hot sauce. I've used the asian type hotsauces to soak it in as a twist. Very good but be careful to watch it closely while cooking. These sauces have a high sugar content and tend to burn faster than regular hot sauce. Excellent.
I was very nervous...

fried chicken seems like it would be so hard to do, but this is really quite easy. don't be afraid to season the chicken, the first time I made this it was a bit bland, the 2nd time I used much more salt and pepper and poultry seasoning- much better results.

This fried chicken recipe is outstanding. Very easy to make, and it tastes great. I actually used less salt than what is called for in the house seasoning, and less hot sauce (I used Chalula). The only reason I didn't give this recipe 5 stars is because it isn't very healthy. Definitely instant family favorite!

This recipe makes awesome fried chicken. The hot sauce gives it a nice flavor without the heat. I used Chipolte Tabasco. Next time I'll leave it sit longer. The self rising flour made the crust puff up and get extra crispy. I used 1 tbs of seasoning to 1 cup of flour and lightly seasoned the chicken. The chicken was even fantastic left over cold. I still want to try Tyler's recipe, but why tamper with perfection???

Please not that you are lightly seasoning the chicken with house seasoning, not using all that is listed. You're supposed to mix the House seasoning ingredients together, keep in a spice cabinet, and season to taste when needed to. Like Emeril's "essence" for example. Great job, Paula. I loved the fried chicken. The hot sauce adds a nice kick.

Paula, being from Alabama making this chicken brought back many memories for me. However, my mother never used the hot sauce, but I did!! My wife and I had a church function to go to and I fried up chicken using this recipie but I did not use salt. I fried it in veg oil, but it still came out. Well, just as we put our food on the table along with other deletable delights, my chicken was GONE in five min!!!!! When the church ladies told my wife she did a great job, her reply was" Oh I did'nt make it. My husband did!!" They were surprised!! It was a big hit!
Don't use the entire House Seasoning in this dish...

The House Seasoning is Paula's standard seasoning mix. You make it up, store it, and then sprinkle it TO TASTE on any recipe she has that calls for it. Do not use the entire House Seasoning recipe in this fried chicken dish or it will be too salty.

Looks like people are putting the entire batch of Paula's house seasoning in the chicken! You only use a scant teaspoon, if that! You store the rest for use later to use like salt or any other seasoning. I am a great cook, but I have never been satisfied with my fried chicken. I thought this would be really spicy, but even the next day it was very mild and let my chicken sit in the eggs and hot sauce for about an hour. It was so juicy and tender and the crust was absolutely perfect. It looked as though it came right off the magazine page! My guests enjoyed it so much that I had to roll all three of them out the door when it came time to leave. Nothing but "ooooo's" and "ahhhhh's" all throughout dinner. I am hooked! I can't wait to make this for hubby!

This recipe is very close to my Mother's - the only difference, is that she didn't use hot sauce! However, the hot sauce is a great idea. By the way, to those who thought the recipe too salty: Please note, the House Seasoning is to be sprinkled on the chicken, NOT added to the flour (and, I think, not ALL of it!). If you added the whole recipe of House Seasoning to the flour, it would indeed be too salty. In my Mother's recipe, a small amount of salt, pepper, and garlic powder were added to the flour - maybe a couple teaspoons each. The amount of House Seasoning in the recipe coud be used for many recipes of chicken, or anything else you wanted to season.
Wonderful!

This was the best tasting chicken ever. I read the reviews of people who gave under 5 star and almost all complained about too salty. I think they need to rethink the recipe. It doesn't say to use ALL the house seasoning. It just says to season with it. There is a huge difference and if you do it correct it will turn out lovely. I also used peanut oil as it called for and it was delightful. I didn't even get the trimmings for my dinner done and my family had all the chicken eaten. Thanks Paula!

This is wonderful and we must all remember that we are all different and not everyone is going to like the same things. BUT for the people who do not follow the recipe which says "season the chicken with the house seasoning" means sprinkle on to your taste not dump the whole sheebang on and for the ones who say It had little flavor you should have sprinkled liberally. Also Paula said you could leave the chicken in the sauce up to an hour,the longer you marinate it the more flavor it will absorb. The key to this recipe is the frying temp. if your oil is not hot enough the chicken will soak up the oil and follow the recipe. Thank you Paula I am still licking my fingers!

All The Goofies That Rated This Too Salty

User: Stacy from Chicago, IL User Rating:
I had to rate this after I read the reviews and saw soo many people saying it's way too salty...Hello! You're not supposed to put the whole recipe of house seasoning in the chicken... in case you didn't read the whole recipe, the first line says clear as day that you can store the house seasoning up to 6 months in an airtight container! That should've been your first clue! Common sense should clue you in to the fact that its just a light sprinkle of the house seasoning, especially if you saw the episode she made it in! It turned out fantastic when I made it and that's probably because I had enough sense not to put a whole cup of salt on my chicken! Also, it says in the recipe to add enough hot sauce to turn the eggs bright orange, which means if it turns bright orange before a full cup you could probably get away with not using a whole cup for the sake of not wasting so much.

I believe that the cup of salt is far too much. I followed the recipe exactly and it ruined the fried chicken. I woudl recommend adding the salt into the flour mix.

That is a very good compliment coming from him.

I am not a salt eater, but this chicken is great. For those who think it is too salty, perhaps you are trying to use the ENTIRE House Seasoning recipe for this one batch of chicken. I am reading that the seasoning recipe makes a huge batch (not to be used all at once. "It says Store...for up to 6 months.)

It's the bomb! A hint for those who thought it was too salty. The recipe isn't that clear but you are not expected to use all the house seasoning at once. It's just a base recipe that makes a big batch for future use. In this recipe, you just sprinkle some on the chicken just like you would salt and pepper. How salty it is is up to you.

Ok listen up people, the house seasoning recipe is its own recipe. Paula didn't intend for you to use all of the house seasoning for your chicken. No wonder your chicken is so salty, would you really put a cup of salt in anything you eat? Didn't you think it was rather odd. Anyways if you season the chicken properly it will turn out fantastic. A cup of salt, some of you people are crazy!

Probably one of the best chicken recipes I have ever tasted, though I think that it was far too salty. The recipe tells you to dip the chicken in the egg and hot sauce, but I didn't really taste the hot sauce, I think that soaking the chicken would have worked better. Keep the recipes coming!

I prepared the chicken for my family and relatives. Everyone raved about this and wanted the recipe. I fried it in my deep fryer, and the crust was so thick while the inside was so moist and tender! Please remember that you only SPRINKLE the House Seasoning on the chicken while preparing it to fry. You then SAVE the REMAINING Seasoning in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

This chicken is delicious! I made exactly as directed and everyone loved it! even the "youngins!". But the recipe needs to be edited. You do not use all of the seasoning, that's why it is so salty, I just put my chicken in a strainer and sprinkled a tablespoon or 2 on it and turned the chicken until coated. It was perfect! Thanks Paula!

I cannot tell you how happy I was that I made chicken that everybody at the table thought I got from our favorite fried chicken place. Paula's recipe is simple and simply delicious. For those of you watching your salt, reduce the proportion of it in the house seasoning and cut back on the hot sauce some. Otherwise, enjoy this great fried chicken. I'm definitely going to try more of Paula's recipes in my kitchen.

I don't like to fry things very often for health reasons, but I wiped that notion from my mind when I tasted this chicken. It was totally awesome! The only thing I would change would be to eliminate the house seasoning completely. The chicken was a little salty. There's enough seasoning in the hot sauce for my taste. I served this with buttermilk biscuits covered with sausage gravy. We thought we died and went to heaven. For obvious reasons, this won't be on my weekly rotation of dishes, but I'm going to find reasons to sneak it in at least once a month. Thanks again, Paula!

The best Fried Chicken I made - and I'm nervous about deep frying. Juicy inside the breast and flavor wonderful. Tonight I made in the oven - in a big roasting pan with veg. oil and butter heated in a preheated 425 oven. Cooked for about 35 min. at 425 degrees, turned and cooked for 15 more at 350 degrees. Good- but much better and juicier (of course) deep frying!

I lookedoverthe reviews and the only two types of answers which didn't give high ratings were of the 'too salty' category or the 'too bland' category. It probably has todo with the house seasoning - the recipe shows a separate full recipe for house seasonong - you shouldn't use the whole thing on only 2 1/2 pounds of chicken!! And if you don't use enough, it will taste bland. The only thingI wold suggest is to changethe wording on the recipe - perhaps - House Seasoning - 3TBL or to taste. Love you Paula!
