Chesapeake Bay Style Chicken
- Ready In:
- 2hrs
- Ingredients:
- 12
- Yields:
-
20 pieces of chicken
- Serves:
- 10-12
ingredients
- 3628.73-4535.92 g , wings and thighs.. (or any part you like)
- 473.18 ml all-purpose flour (I used un-bleached mostly)
- 59.14 ml cornmeal or 59.14 ml breadcrumbs
- buttermilk to cover the chicken
- 6 garlic cloves, opened (or more)
- 44.37 ml Old Bay Seasoning
- 14.79 ml paprika
- 4.92 ml cinnamon
- 4.92 ml cayenne pepper or 4.92 ml about 10 splashes of good hot sauce
- 4.92 ml peppercorn
- 29.58 ml salt (or more)
- 236.59 ml oil
directions
- 1.Wash and pat your chicken dry
- 2.Combine your spices( except the pepper corns), season and Rub most of it on the chicken. I usually set aside 3-4 Tablespoons to go into the flour before I season the chicken.
- 3.Place the chicken in a large bowl if you haven't already and cover with buttermilk and drop in your garlic, pepper corns and your hot sauce if you're using it.
- 4. Cover and place in the frig. for 1-2 hours or overnight is best.
- 5. When the chicken is finished marinating. Get your flour and breadcrumbs mixed with some of the reserved seasoning -- taste for saltiness. If you want add just another teaspoon of salt.
- 6. Heat up you oil to 375 degrees -- you'll know it's there when an old piece of bread gets crisp within seconds of hitting the oil.
- 7. Begin Taking your chicken from the marinade, letting the most of it run off and begin dropping the chicken into the flour mixture.I use a large paper bag for this most of the time. Set aside on a plate until your oil is ready. once it's ready.
- 8.Get out your tongs and start placing the biggest pieces first and let them fry up to an amber brown.
- 9. This recipe has a lot of spices in it and it cooks up darker than other recipes -- fast. so keep your oil at a steady temperature. If you notice the chicken getting dark too fast lower the temperature -- wait a few and start again.

I think I've become a foodie! Fresh! Homemade! is my montra. lol I love to cook for my family. Figuring outnew ways to get in veggies for a family of 10 is my biggest challenge. Right now I'm planning and playing around with canning and growing produce! My goal is to be self reliant as a family.
