Recipe: Best Fried Chicken
Archived on 07/28/2009
The best fried chicken ever. Skin chicken and leave to soak in cold water for 2 hours before frying. Take directly from water and coat with self rising flour. Season with coarse ground garlic salt. Fry in enough hot oil to almost cover chicken. So good you won't be able to sit still while eating!

Recipe: Robin's Fried Chicken
Archived on 07/28/2009
I prefer fresh farm-grown chicken about 2 1/2 - 3 lbs., cleaned and sectioned.
Place chicken in a large mixing bowl and cover with top grade buttermilk. Let soak several hours to overnight. Carefully drain before dipping in flour that has been seasoned with favorite spices, salt, and pepper. Re-dip in batter, then back into flour. Place in prepared skillet.
A heavy skillet is the best to use for frying chicken. I fry my chicken at 350-360 degrees F. We like our chicken more done than some people, so I will lower temperature when sufficiently browned and cook about 30 minutes all together.

RE: Oven Fried Chicken
In any of the recipes you can substitute oat bran, wheat bran or crushed all-bran cereals as part of or fully replacing the unhealthy white bread crumbs.
Even more thrifty is to use the natural crumbs you'll find on the bottom of your non-sugar cereal bags. Regardless of what you mix together from the cereals, they should be much higher fiber than white bread crumbs unless you have very unhealthy cereals in your cupboards.
If you're die hard on bread crumbs; it's easy to make your own out of whole grain, high fiber breads. Just dry out in oven on super low setting and crush in a bag until you have the desired crumbs.
You don't have to change anything else in the recipes....same seasonings, etc. If you're going for even healthier foods; you can substitute rice bran oil for any of the "fry" oils. It's pretty high nutrition and tolerates very high temps. You won't notice any difference in taste except that the rice oil tastes much lighter to me than canola or corn oils.
You'll get an even crunchier oven fry out of it plus better nutrition! (08/26/2008)

Thanks,

Southern Fried Chicken courtesy Paula Deen
House Seasoning:
- 1 cup salt
- 1/4 cup black pepper
- 1/4 cup garlic powder
Southern Fried Chicken:
- 4 eggs
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 cup hot red pepper sauce
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 tsp. pepper
- House Seasoning
- 2 1/2 lb. chicken, cut into pieces
- Oil, for frying, preferably peanut oil
To make the House Seasoning, mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
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 F in a deep pot. Do not fill the pot more than 1/2 full with oil.
Fry the chicken in the oil until brown and crisp. Dark meat takes longer than white meat. It should take dark meat about 13 to 14 minutes, white meat around 8 to 10 minutes.

RE: Southern Fried Chicken
COLD OIL CHICKEN (honest to God, that's the name of it...)
- 2/3 cup flour
- 1 tsp. each: garlic salt and seasoned salt
- 1/2 tsp. paprika
- 1/4 tsp. each: pepper, rubbed sage, thyme leaves, dried basil
- ~3 cups veggie oil
In a bag, combine all seasonings. In a deep electric frying pan, pour in 1/2 inchof oil. Shake pieces of chicken in flour mix and place skin side down in the cold oil. (stay with me here...)
Cover the pan and turn to 350 degrees F. When you hear the chicken frying and sizzling loudly, set a timer and cook for 15 minutes.
Remove cover and turn pieces over. Cook, uncovered for 10 minutes longer or "till meat next to bone is done" (nowadays, cook to 160 degrees F)
This is one of the best hot or cold chicken methods I've ever tasted. (09/30/2005)

RE: Southern Fried Chicken
- 1 frying chicken
- 2 cups of flour
- salt and pepper
- cooking oil
Preheat cooking oil in fry pan at medium to low heat...you don't want to set it too high or your chicken will cook too fast and will not be done on the inside.
Cut up chicken, salt and pepper it. (Zatarains Cajun seasoning is an excellent seasoning for your fried chicken.) Dip into the flour and place it into the preheated cooking oil. Cook until it is golden brown.
This is true southern fried chicken. You don't need all of those extra ingredients to make it good.
