Western Cuisine: Southern Fried Chicken

Posted by The 4 Chiquez at 2:13 AM


Ingredients:


4 pounds chicken pieces
1 1/2 cups milk
2 large eggs
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons salt
2 teaspoons pepper
2 teaspoons Chilli Powder
3 cups vegetable oil
salt

Method:

Rinse chicken; pat dry and then set aside.
Combine milk and eggs in a bowl; whisk to blend well.


In a large heavy-duty resealable plastic food storage bag, combine the flour, salt, pepper and chilli powder.


Dip a chicken piece in the milk mixture; let excess drip off into bowl. Put a few chicken pieces in the food storage bag and shake lightly to coat thoroughly. Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining chicken pieces.


(Repeat the coating if you wish to have a thicker flour coat. It taste even better.)


Heat oil to 350°. Fry chicken, a few pieces at a time, for about 10 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Chicken breasts will take a little less time than other pieces. Pierce with a fork to see if juices run clear to check for doneness. With a slotted spoon, move to paper towels to drain; sprinkle with salt.


NOTE: The chicken will turn reddish brown due to the amount of Chilli Powder added.
Add a squeeze of lime for some tangy taste. Serve with sauce and mayo.
