This is hands down the best fried chicken I ever had. I was skpetical about the hot sauce, but it was great, and now I put that in the eggs when I fry green tomatoes or anything else. NOTE: The House Seasoning recipe is enough to last for ages. Read more . they had used all the house seasoning. ROFL. Ingredients:
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 teaspoon pepper |
house seasoning |
2 1/2-pound chicken, cut into pieces (i have used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and thighs, works great) |
oil, for frying, preferably peanut oil |
*** i did not use this much hot sauce. (i'm wimpy!) i heard her say on tv that you only need enough to thurn the egg mixture orange...for some reason i am thinking i used 3 t. hot sauce |

1. HOUSE SEASONING

4. In a medium size bowl, beat the eggs with the water.
5. Add enough hot sauce so the egg mixture is bright orange. In another bowl, combine the flour and pepper.
