Description
An old family friend taught me this one when I was a little girl. It’s your basic fried chicken, but everyone that I make it for says it’s the best they have ever had! I like it with my Garlic Mashed Taters.
Ingredients
- 3 cups Canola Oil
- 12 pieces Chicken Drumsticks And/or Thighs
- 1 cup White Flour
- 1 cup Yellow Corn Meal
- 2 Tablespoons Italian Seasoning (or Your Own Mix)
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 2 teaspoons Ground Black Pepper
- 2 teaspoons Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
- 2 whole Eggs
Preparation
Heat Oil over medium heat in a wide frying pan until a drop of water dances on the top and evaporates.
Wash and pat dry chicken.
Mix all dry ingredients together in a wide shallow bowl.
Beat eggs in a separate bowl.
Dip chicken in eggs, then in flour mixture, coating completely.
CAREFULLY drop the chicken into the hot oil. Cook until one side is golden brown, then turn.
Keep turning until all sides are an even dark golden color, and the inside of the chicken is done. This should take about 10-20 minutes per frying batch, depending on the temperature of the chicken and the size of the pieces.
Take the chicken out and place on a plate layered with a few paper towels to soak up the extra oil.
Repeat until all the chicken is cooked, and serve to hungry family or guests!
(I don’t use the Red Pepper when I make mine, but if I have heat loving guests I add it after I make some for myself, just mix it into the flour.)
