Southern Fried Chicken

By marlene

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 1 cup hot red pepper sauce
• 2 cups self rising flour
• 2 1/2 pound chicken cut into pieces
• Paula deans house seasoning oil for frying, preferably peanut oil

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oil to 350* in a deep pot. Do not fill the pot more than 1/2 full with oil. In a medium size bowl, beat eggs. Add enough hot sauce so the egg mixture is bright orange [about 1 cup]. Season the chicken with the house seasoning. Dip the seasoned chicken in the egg and then coat well in the flour. Place the chicken in the preheated oil and fry the chicken in the oil until brown and crisp. Dark meat takes longer than white meat. Approximate cooking time is 13 to 14 minutes for dark and 8 to 10 for white meat.
