I made fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy and Lima Beans for dinner last night. This fried chicken recipe is the only recipe I will use. It never fails me, so thought I would share it in case anyone would like to try it.
I use Whipping Cream, butter and salt and pepper for mashed potatoes and I use it to make gravy, if I have it on hand.
My Favorite Fried Chicken:
Use 7 chicken legs-(1/2 of a large pkg.)
In the morning, rinse the chicken legs in colander.
Put the chicken legs in a large bowl.
Cover the chicken legs with water; add some ice and some salt.
Refrigerate for several hours.
When ready to fry; add 2 eggs and 4 T. water to a bowl; whisk.
Using large Tupperware container, add 2 Cups Self Rising Flour, Garlic Salt, Pepper and some Seasoned Salt; stir.
Add the chicken legs; shake.
Dip the chicken legs in the egg and water mixture, then back into the flour mixture in Tupperware container.
Season the chicken legs with Garlic Salt. Pepper and some Seasoned Salt on both sides of the legs.
Put lid on and shake again to coat.
Steps:
Flour/Egg/Flour
Let the chicken legs rest for 5 minutes or so; this helps the coating to stick better.
***I coated the chicken ahead of time/flour/egg/flour a few hours of cooking time and refrigerated it in the Tupperware container that had the coating ingredients and the chicken legs.
Use an electric skillet!
Heat 2 cups of oil in the electric skillet to desired temperature.
Check the oil by dropping in a little bit of flour; if it sizzles, add chicken legs; season some more while frying.
Fry until golden brown.
When it’s ready, put the legs on a paper towel- lined plate.
