Fried Chicken

As some members of my family have started a diet, I decided to treat them to a last artery clogger of a supper.....fried chicken with mac and cheese. This fried chicken recipe was taken from a Paula Deen show I watched years ago. I made it but had to teak it my way and well it really should be spanked and arrested as she says. Yeeeeehaaaaaa!!

Recipe:

Chicken pieces (breast, drumstick, wings) as many as you can handle!

2 regular bottles of Tabasco

1 regular bottle of Red Rooster hot sauce

6 garlic cloves peeled and crushed

2 tablespoons garlic powder 

3 eggs

2 cups self raising flour

1 tablespoon black pepper

2 tablespoons salt 

Frying oil 

Method:

Wash and dry your chicken pieces, slashing 2-3 slashes on the breast and thighs to ensure even cooking, you can remove the skins if you prefer, but leave the skin on the wings......be scandalous.

In a large bowl empty the bottles of hot sauces and no don't worry it will only give the chicken a slight spice punch. Add the garlic, garlic powder, eggs, and salt. Mix well and add the chicken pieces making sure it is coated well. Marinate overnight.

When ready to eat, in a large bowl mix the self raising flour and pepper and coat all the chicken pieces and lay on a tray. Heat your oil 1/4 of the pot on medium heat and begin to fry. The breasts should take 10-15 minutes while the drumsticks should take 10 minutes and wings 5 minutes. Drain on chicken towel and serve piping hot. Utensils not allowed!
