Love this one! This got rave reviews at the picnic I brought it to. It's called picnic chicken because it even tastes good cold. It takes a bit of time to marinate but it is worth it.The prep time includes 24 hours in the fridge. Found this on recipelink. Ingredients:
24 pieces skin-on bone-in chicken parts (legs and thighs about 7 lbs.) |
1 cup sugar |
1/4 cup ground ginger powder |
1 tablespoon garlic powder |
1 tablespoon onion powder |
oil (for frying) |
2 1/2 cups flour |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Mix the sugar, ginger powder, garlic powder, and onion powder in a bag. Drop chicken parts one a time in seasoning to coat. Place coated chicken parts in a couple of gallon size sealable plastic bags or a sealable dish and then sprinkle left over seasonings over chicken. Seal and then refrigerate for 24 hours.
2. The next day- remove chicken from fridge and dispose of marinade. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium to medium high heat making sure to not fill the pan more than half way up with oil.
3. While the oil is heating, mix the flour salt and pepper in a bag. Dip pieces in flour mixture to coat and then place chicken parts in hot oil and cook for 5 minutes until golden brown. Make sure to keep your eye on the chicken at this point as it may brown quickly because of the sugar. (Do not overcrowd the pan. This will need to be done in batches).
4. Remove chicken to a rack over a baking sheet. Finish cooking the chicken in the oven at 350F for 30 minutes. (15 minutes if usinig dark meat.).
