Hot and Spicy Chicken
Ready In: 49 mins
Serves: 4-8
Ingredients
- 1 whole frying chicken, cut up and Marinated
- 6 -8 cups shortening
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
- 3⁄4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon white pepper
- 3⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3⁄4 teaspoon msg
- 1⁄8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1⁄8 teaspoon baking powder
Directions
- Trim any excess skin and fat from the chicken pieces. Preheat the
- shortening in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees. Combine the beaten egg and
- milk in a medium bowl. In another medium bowl, combine the remaining
- coating ingredients When the chicken has marinated, transfer each
- piece to paper towels so that excess liquid can drain off. Working
- with one piece at a time, dip in egg and milk then coat the chicken
- with the dry flour mixture, coated very generously. Stack the chicken
- on a plate or cookie sheet until each piece has been coated. Drop the
- chicken, one piece at a time into the hot shortening. Fry half of the
- chicken at a time (4 pieces) for 12-15 minutes, or until it is golden
- brown. You should be sure to stir the chicken around halfway through
- the cooking time so that each piece cooks evenly. Remove the chicken
- to a rack or towels to drain for about 5 minutes before eating.
