fried chicken help

[hookem2102]

I need some ideas of how to make a good batter for fried chicken.

I make a really good CFS batter but I don't think it would translate to chicken very well.

flour, salt, pepper.....what else & how much?

thx in advance.

Does Mr. Catfish do chicken too? If not, THEY SHOULD!!!! It has been too long since I've been to Mr. Catfish....anyone head there recently?

I take 1 cup Flour, 2 tbs. cajun seasoning, and 2 tbs. of garlic powder.

Roll in seasoning, roll in egg, roll back in seasoning, fry in deep fryer. Yummy.

Use above recipe to cook twice as much as you can eat for dinner. Put it in the refrigerator and then eat it cold for lunch the next day.

Take cut up chicken and soak it in buttermilk for at least two hours. Take two cups of flour and one cup of flour and mix together. Add three tablespoons of (salt, paparika, garlic powder) and two teaspoons of black pepper. Fry chicken in a cast iron pot or skillet (the iron holds heat better) with the lid on for about ten minutes. If you are using a skillet flip it after six minutes.

My grandmother swore by breading the chicken then sticking it in the fridge for 2-3 hrs

I cook mine in a covered wok but only about 1 inch of oil
I like to season the chicken then batter it-- always salt the batter or it will be bland as hell

My fried prok chops are great-- I make them for the wife and kids and haven't had any since I started southbeach last fall-- the secret-- by chops w/ bones then debone them-- more flavor--even cooking

Dredge in Flour, then dip into egg wash, then into panko bread crubs. Fry at high temp and season as soon as you pull from the fryer. salt, pepper and dash of cayanne.

Thanks for the tips, I made a batch this afternoon...it was pretty damn good.

I forgot paprika at the store, so I imagine next time it'll be even better.
