Photo: Southern Fried Chicken Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup water
- About 1 cup hot red pepper sauce (recommended: 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
Directions
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 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.

Amazing! I made this for my family and it was super delicious. I made the seasoning and put it in an old spice container and shook it lightly over the chicken. It came out perfect.

This was good chicken. Just a note, some people seem confused by the directions. I took the directions to mean that you season the chicken with the House Seasoning, not dip it in the salt. That could be why others are finding it too salty. My other suggestion would be to actually use a deep fryer instead of a skillet. I know some were concerned about the hot sauce but you hardly notice it. The chicken is not spicy at all. I liked the recipe and would make it again.
