Ingredients
Seasoned Flour:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Cajun spice
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Chicken:
- 1 whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 8 1/2 cups vegetable oil
Directions
Preheat the oven to 175 degrees F.
For the seasoned flour: In a bowl, mix the flour, Cajun spice and salt together well.
For the chicken: Toss the chicken with the salt, pepper and 1/2 cup vegetable oil and place on parchment paper on a baking sheet. Slow cook in the oven until the internal temperature on an instant-read meat thermometer reaches 165 degrees F, about 2 hours (do not let the thermometer touch the bone). Then remove the chicken and cool.
Heat a deep-fryer with the remaining 8 cups oil to 400 degrees F. Toss the cooled chicken with the seasoned flour and flash-fry, in batches if needed, in the fryer, cooking until the skin crisps, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve.

Thought the flavor was pretty good, but needed much more seasoning. Also I think there is a major problem with the temp. setting. At 175
my oven barely felt warm and I ended up cooking for 2hrs., then at 300 for another 30min and then 375 for 15min. Afterwards I floured and deep fried. Had good taste and super moist, but I think it needs to be rewritten.

Thank you for the recipe. Watched the show and was intrigued with the chicken recipe. Just finished up dinner with this chicken as the main coarse. Chicken was excellant, only change made was the addition of more cajun seasoning.
