EASY FRIED CHICKEN
Who doesn’t love a good fried chicken? You can make these easily at home and in half an hour. I use a thermometer to measure my oil’s heat, if you do not have one then you can test with a wooden spoon. Place the end of a wooden spoon into the oil and if there are bubbles then the oil is ready. For this recipe, the oil should be hot at about 160 C.
Ingredients
- 8 Chicken Pieces, remove from fridge 30 minutes before frying
- 4 Large Eggs
- ¼ Cup Water
- ½ Cup Hot Sauce
- 1 Cup Cake Flour
- 2 Tsp Baking Powder
- Salt and Pepper
- Oil for Frying
Directions
- Heat the oil in a pot over medium to high heat in large pot.
- In a bowl, whisk together the Eggs, Water and Hot Sauce.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the Cake Flour, Baking Powder, Salt and Pepper.
- Hen oil is ready, cover chicken with egg mixture then coat with flour mixture and place into hot oil.
- Fry chicken until golden brown and cooked through. Chicken pieces will take between 12-16 minutes to cook through.
