Ingredients

  • 1 whole frying Chicken cut up and marinated
  • 6 - 8 cups Shortening

Coating

  • 1 Egg beaten
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons Salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground Black Pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon White Pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon MSG
  • 1/8 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon Baking Powder

Instructions

  • Trim any excess skin and fat from the chicken pieces.
  • Preheat shortening in a deep-fryer to 350°F.
  • Combine beaten egg and milk in a medium bowl.
  • In another medium bowl, combine remaining coating ingredients.
  • When chicken has marinated, transfer each piece to paper towels so that excess liquid can drain off.
  • Working with one piece at a time, dip in egg and milk. Then coat chicken with the dry flour mixture, coated very generously. Stack chicken on a plate or cookie sheet until each piece has been coated.
  • Carefully drop chicken, one piece at a time into the hot shortening.
  • Fry 1/2 of the chicken at a time (4 pieces) for 12 - 15 minutes, or until it is golden brown. You should be sure to stir the chicken around halfway through the cooking time so that each piece cooks evenly.
  • Remove chicken to a rack or towels to drain and cool for about 5 minutes before eating.
