Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup hot red pepper sauce
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 2 1/2 pound chicken, cut into pieces
Directions
House Seasoning, recipe follows
- Oil, for frying, preferably peanut oil
Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a deep pot. Do not fill the pot more than 1/2 full with oil.
In a medium size bowl, beat the eggs. Add enough hot sauce so the egg mixture is bright orange (about 1 cup). Season the chicken with the House Seasoning. Dip the seasoned chicken in the egg, and then coat well in the flour. Place the chicken in the preheated oil and fry the chicken in the oil until brown and crisp. Dark meat takes longer than white meat. Approximate cooking time is 13 to 14 minutes for dark meat and 8 to 10 minutes for white meat.
House Seasoning:
- 1 cup salt
- 1/4 cup pepper
- 1/4 cup garlic powder
To make the House Seasoning, mix the ingredients together and store in an air-tight container for up to 6 months.

Love the taste. Two times before the chicken was undercooked. I cut up whole chickens for the pieces and now I use a automatic controlled frying pan, take the temp to assure 350 deg., and do the dark meat at 10 min. PER SIDE and the white meat at 8 Min. PER SIDE.
Everything turns out perfect now.

This is my "go-to" fried chicken recipe. The only thing different that I do is brine the chicken overnight in a salt bath. Chicken is moist and delicious every time!

Great recipe!! I made this recipe three times, twice without the self rising flour. I have to say the self rising flour takes this recipe to another level! DELICIOUS!!!!!
