Preparation

Step 1

1.) In a medium 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.

2.) Heat oil to 350° F in a deep pot. Do not fill the pot more than half full with oil.

3.) Fry the chicken in the oil until brown. Dark meat takes longer than white meat. It should take dark meat about 13 to 14 minutes, white meat around 8 to 10 minutes.
