1. go to food network watch Paula Deen or search for her recipes there so delious !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Yum:)
2. my friends in the south tell me that they soak their chicken in buttermilk for about 1/2 hour, then dip it in flour, eggs, then flour again before frying they also put garlic powder either on the chicken before dipping in flour, or mix in generously with the flour salt and pepper while frying
3. my favorite (i've tried alot) is paula deen's. soooooooooo good. House Seasoning: 1 cup salt 1/4 cup black pepper 1/4 cup garlic powder Southern Fried Chicken: 4 eggs 1/3 cup water 1 cup hot red pepper sauce 2 cups self-rising flour 1 teaspoon pepper House Seasoning 2 1/2-pound chicken, cut into pieces Oil, for frying, preferably peanut oil To make the House Seasoning, mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months. In a medium size bowl, beat the eggs with the water. Add enough hot sauce so the egg mixture is bright orange. In another bowl, combine the flour and pepper. Season the chicken with the House Seasoning. Dip the seasoned chicken in the egg, and then coat well in the flour mixture. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a deep pot. Do not fill the pot more than 1/2 full with oil. Fry the chicken in the oil until brown and crisp. Dark meat takes longer than white meat. It should take dark meat about 13 to 14 minutes, white meat around 8 to 10 minutes.
4. buy a large pkg dry buttermilk dressing mix do not mix heat vegetable,corn oil or shortening to 375 degrees in a deep dutch oven or fryer wash chicken in cold water pat dry with paper towels add 1/2 dry buttermilk dressing mix to a plastic food storage bag shake 2 pieces at a time to coat chicken use a clean bag if needed for balance of chicken and dry buttermilk dressing fry chicken till golden color arrange on a sheet pan place chicken in a 250 degree oven to cook chicken all the way no longer than 30 min more after frying check to see if done makes great easy fried chicken
