The flour mixture coating for this chicken main dish recipe is simple to make, but a purchased variety speeds the process. A liberal splash of hot pepper sauce zips up the flavor.
Ingredients
- 1/2 of a 10-ounce package all-purpose batter fry mix* (about 3/4 cup)
- 4 eggs
- 2-1/2 to 3 pounds meaty chicken pieces (breast halves, thighs, and drumsticks), skinned if desired
- Salt and ground black pepper
- Peanut oil or cooking oil
- Bottled hot pepper sauce
- Place the batter fry mix in a shallow bowl; set aside. In another shallow bowl slightly beat eggs; set aside.
- Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Dip chicken pieces, 1 at a time, into beaten eggs; coat with fry mix. Dip into the beaten eggs and coat with fry mix again. Repeat with remaining chicken pieces, beaten eggs, and fry mix.
- Add oil to a 12-inch heavy skillet to a depth of 1/3 to 1/2 inch. Heat over medium-high heat until hot enough to sizzle a drop of water. Carefully add chicken to skillet. (Do not crowd chicken. If necessary, use 2 skillets.) Cook, uncovered, over medium heat for 30 minutes, turning about halfway through to brown evenly. (Cook to 170 degree F for breasts; 180 degree F for thighs and drumsticks). Drain chicken pieces on paper towels.
- Pass bottled hot pepper sauce with chicken. Serves 6.
- In a shallow bowl combine 2/3 cup all-purpose flour, 3 Use in place of the fry mix as directed above.
