Southern Fried Chicken

Recipe Ingredients

3		Eggs
1/3 cup	78ml	Water
1 cup	237ml	Hot red pepper sauce - more or less
		= (Texas Pete suggested)
2 cups	125g / 4.4oz	Self-rising flour
1 teaspoon	5ml	Freshly-ground black pepper
		House Seasoning - (see recipe)
1		Chicken - (abt 2 1/2 lbs) - cut into pieces
		Oil - for frying,
		= (preferably peanut oil)

Recipe Instructions

In a medium-size bowl, beat the eggs with the water. Add enough hot sauce so the egg mixture is bright orange. In another bowl, combine the flour and pepper. Season the chicken with the House Seasoning. Dip the seasoned chicken in the egg, and then coat well in the flour mixture.

Heat the oil to 350 degrees in a deep pot. Do not fill the pot more than 1/2 full with oil. Fry the chicken in the shortening until brown and crisp. Dark meat takes longer then white meat. It should take dark meat about 13 to 14 minutes, white meat around 8 to 10 minutes.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
