Southern Fried Chicken

Ingredients:-

• 1 broiler/fryer chicken
• Peanut Oil for frying
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup water
• Liquid flavorings
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• Seasonings (herbs and spices)

Method:-


At first cut chicken into medium size pieces. Wash the chicken thoroughly, let drain until needed. Start your Peanut oil heating in a deep pan. Fill the pan 1/3 full with oil. Turn the burner to medium high and heat the oil.


In a bowl mix the eggs and water. If you want to use liquid flavorings (hot sauce, soy sauce, etc) then add it now. Whip the mixture with a fork until thoroughly combined; this becomes your egg wash.


Add the salt and pepper to the flour along with other desired seasonings (garlic powder, sage, onion powder, etc.). Stir to combine.


Dip the chicken pieces in the egg wash and dredge them in the flour. If you want a thicker crust on the chicken, dip the pieces in the flour first, then the egg wash and then the flour again (this will, of course, require more flour).


Place chicken pieces in hot oil. Cover and fry until crisp and golden, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle lightly with salt while the pieces drain on paper towels. Now serve it with other meal.
