Ingredients
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
Directions
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.

This is the first time I made fried chicken and I loved it! I made chicken and waffles and I used just the chicken tenderloins. I cut the recipe and half and it was more than enough to make a whole package of the tenderloins. I was wary of the amount of hot sauce but it gave it a really nice flavor and wasn't spicy at all. I will definitely be making this again.

So easy! No changes. My husband and kids said it was the best fried chicken ever.

I love it, sadly it taste like regular chicken when it gets cold. I did like the tip of putting the house seasoning an hour before you make it so the chicken can take in the flavor more. Definately worth re visiting.
