SPICY SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN



Spicy Southern Fried Chicken image

Provided by Georgia

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 large eggs
1/3 cup water
1 cup hot sauce, recommended: Frank's Red Hot
2 cups self-rising flour or all-purpose flour + 2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1 to 2 1/2-pound chicken, cut into pieces (skin removed)
Vegetable oil or peanut oil, for frying
Large Dutch oven, 5.5 qt. or more or deep fryer
Deep fry/candy thermometer, if using a Dutch oven
Heatproof slotted spoon

Steps:

  • Prepare chicken by rinsing with cold water and patting dry. Set aside on a large plate, cutting board or pan.
  • In a medium size bowl, beat eggs with water. Add hot sauce. In another bowl, combine the flour, pepper, salt, and garlic powder. Dip chicken in egg mixture, then coat well in the flour mixture. (Make sure if you are using all-purpose flour that you have first added 2 teaspoons baking powder).
  • Preheat your oven to a warm setting of 200 degrees or less. Prepare a baking sheet topped with a cooling rack. Have this handy to transfer the cooked chicken into the oven to keep warm, if frying in batches.
  • Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a deep Dutch oven or deep fryer. Do not fill the pot more than 1/2 full with oil. If using a Dutch oven, measure temperature with a candy thermometer.
  • Fry the chicken in the oil until brown and crisp, about 13 to 14 minutes for dark meat (thighs, wings, legs) and 8 to 10 minutes for white meat (breasts). Make sure each piece of chicken has room; you may need to split up the frying in batches. With a heatproof slotted spoon, carefully transfer cooked chicken pieces to the baking sheet, and place in the oven to keep warm.
  • Serve cooked chicken with additional hot sauce, if desired.
  • Enjoy!

CLASSIC SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN



Classic Southern Fried Chicken image

This is a basic Southern fried chicken recipe and the only one you will ever need. Chicken pieces are fried to perfection with a seasoned flour coating.

Provided by Diana Rattray

Categories     Entree     Dinner

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups milk
2 large eggs
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons salt (plus additional for sprinkling)
2 teaspoons black pepper
4 pounds chicken (bone-in, skin-on pieces)
3 cups vegetable oil (or amount needed for frying)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 200 F and place a rack in a large baking pan.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the milk and eggs. Whisk to blend well.
  • In a large heavy-duty resealable plastic food storage bag, combine the flour, 2 tablespoons salt, and pepper. Seal and shake to combine.
  • Dip the chicken pieces in the milk and egg mixture and let excess drip off into the bowl. Set already dipped pieces aside on a plate until you have three or four.
  • Add the dipped chicken pieces to the bag of seasoned flour.
  • Seal the bag and shake well to coat the chicken pieces thoroughly.
  • Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining chicken pieces.
  • Heat the oil in a deep, heavy skillet to 350 F. While it's heating up, set aside a large serving plate lined with paper towels.
  • Fry the chicken, a few pieces at a time, for about 10 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and thoroughly cooked. Be careful not to put too many chicken pieces in at once-even if they can comfortably fit-since this will dramatically drop the temperature of the oil, affecting the crispness of the final product. Note that chicken breasts will take a little less time than dark meat pieces.
  • With a slotted spoon, move the done chicken pieces onto the paper towel-lined platter to drain. Sprinkle immediately with salt.
  • Transfer the drained and seasoned chicken to the prepared pan with a rack. Keep warm in the preheated oven while frying subsequent batches. Depending on the size of your pan, this recipe will require about 3 to 4 batches.

SPICY SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN



Spicy Southern Fried Chicken image

This is a great recipe for "spicing-up" your fried chicken. The chicken gets a kick from marinating it in Tabasco sauce. But don't worry, the spicy-heat is just enough to give the chicken a great flavor and not over-power the taste. This recipe came from Williams-Sonoma Kitchens.

Provided by CarolAT

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time P1DT30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 roasting chicken, cut into serving pieces
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus additional to add for seasoning

  • In a bowl, combine the buttermilk and Tabasco sauce and pour over the chicken, coating all the pieces. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Place the chicken in a colander and let the excess buttermilk drain off. Reserve the buttermilk, if desired, for dipping the chicken a second time.

  • Place half of the chicken in the oil and fry, turning often and maintaining the oil temperature at 325 degrees until the chicken is cooked through. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining chicken.

SPICY SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN



Spicy Southern Fried Chicken image

From Country Living. A buttermilk marinade tenderizes the chicken and helps create a crisp, flaky crust while frying. This has little spicy flavor to it, but not so much it will burn your mouth.

SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN



Southern Fried Chicken image

Thanks Paula Deen (FoodTV) for the best fried chicken I have ever made! It has a nice, savory flavor and a coating that has just the right amount of crispiness. It was a good thing I had an extra cut-up chicken in the refrigerator because my family was begging for it again the next day. Although it calls for what seems like a lot of hot pepper sauce, it isn't any spicier than Jack-In-the Box's Spicy Crispy Chicken--you can take it!! FYI I made this using 10 pounds of wings--enough of the hot sauce/egg mixture to cover, but you will need to double flour mixture if you want to do this much. I'm not saying it tastes like KFC--only that you won't be doing business with them anymore.

Provided by SharleneW

Categories     Chicken

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs cut-up chicken
4 eggs
1/3 cup water
1 cup hot sauce (I use Louisiana Hot Sauce, Tabasco might be hotter)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Heat peanut oil in a large deep pot to 350°F (do not fill more than half full--you don't want a hot-oil spill-over accident!).
  • For sauce mixture: in a medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs with the water.
  • Add hot sauce and whisk together well.
  • Pour this mixture into a large plastic zip-top bag.
  • For seasoning mixture: In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
  • For dredging mixture: In a another bowl, mix flour, baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • Rinse and pat dry chicken pieces with a paper towel.
  • Cut breast pieces in half across ribs.
  • Sprinkle chicken generously on both sides with seasoning blend.
  • Drop a few chicken pieces of chicken into bag of sauce mixture and squish around to coat thoroughly.
  • One piece at a time, roll chicken in flour mixture and drop into hot oil.
  • Don't crowd chicken pieces--I cook about half the chicken at a time.
  • Fry chicken until brown and crisp.
  • Drain on paper toweling.
  • Dark meat will take about 14 minutes, white meat about 10 minutes.
  • Remember smaller pieces cook faster than the larger ones.
  • You can check for doneness by piercing to the bone in the thickest part with a fork.
  • If the juices run clear, it is done.

BEST EVER SPICY OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN - SOUTHERN



Best Ever Spicy Oven-Fried Chicken - Southern image

I love this chicken recipe--after messing around with oil fried chicken, I found this recipe and it's exactly what I was looking for, darn close to "real" fried chicken without the hassle of oil frying. There is marinating time, but otherwise super easy. Don't be intimidated by th amount of hot pepper sauce in the marinade, the chicken will pick up only some of the heat.

CLASSIC SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN



Classic Southern Fried Chicken image

Super crunchy, classic Southern fried chicken with a slightly salty, flavorful bite. The meat is tender and juicy, and the exterior is light and crispy. Take your time with this... let the soak happen overnight and cook in batches. Cook extra because who doesn't love cold fried chicken? Serve with mashed potatoes and coleslaw with soft rolls to create that perfect bite.

Provided by NicoleMcmom

Time 5h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 pounds bone-in chicken drumsticks and thighs, with skin
4 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce (such as Crystal ®)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
3 teaspoons ground black pepper, divided
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 ½ teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground paprika
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 quart vegetable oil for frying, or as needed

Steps:

  • Combine chicken, buttermilk, hot sauce, 1 tablespoon salt, and 2 teaspoons pepper in a large, non-reactive bowl. Stir until chicken is well coated. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Combine flour, 2 teaspoons salt, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, remaining 1 teaspoon pepper, and cayenne in a large bowl; whisk until well combined.
  • Remove chicken from the refrigerator. Working with one piece at a time, remove from the marinade and allow excess to drip off. Coat evenly in the flour mixture, and set on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Pour oil into a large Dutch oven to a depth of 1 inch. Heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Add a few chicken pieces to the hot oil and cook, turning once or twice, until golden brown on the outside, no longer pink at the bone, and the juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Maintain the oil temperature around 320 degrees F (160 degrees C) during cooking. Remove chicken to a clean wire rack set over a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Return oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and repeat to fry remaining chicken.
  • Serve immediately.
