Foodie Friday

Foodie Friday Logo 2 Today I am participating in the very first “Foodie Friday” which is hosted by Gollum at Designs by Gollum. (clicking on the logo on the left will take you to her site)

What is “Foodie Friday”? Well, it is like Outdoor Wednesday (anything outside) but it is with food (anything food). There are more details at Gollum’s site, so head over and check it out!

Since I am a Georgia girl, I simply have to spotlight one of my favorite Southern cook’s recipes…. Paula Deen….. I love her…she makes cooking fun!

This recipe is really easy!

Paula Deen’s Southern Fried Chicken

 

 Ingredients:

  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup water
  • About 1 cup hot red pepper sauce (Texas Pete)
  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • House seasoning, recipe follows
  • 1 (1 to 2 1/2-pound) chicken, cut into pieces
  • Oil, for frying, preferably peanut oil

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 14 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Yield: 6-8 servings

Directions: 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 then white meat. It should take dark meat about 13 to 14 minutes, white meat around 8 to 10 minutes.

House Seasoning: Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

  • 1 cup salt
  • 1/4 cup black pepper
  • 1/4 cup garlic powder

    That chicken looks so good and would call for some more power walking for me to eat it. Maybe on a free day! Paula is one of my favorites. Hugs, Bobbi Jo

    Good Morning!

    I love Paula & her cookin' and so does J. Miss Paula was also the reason I decided to let my hair go natural. I kept it blonde with highlights (interesting since my natural color was very dark brown gone grey) until 3 years ago.

    Now, I'm craving some good ol' fried chicken!
    Great post!

    I love Paula Deen but wish she would scale back on being "commercial" She has always been so down to earth but now she seems to be "packaging" herself. But I love her recipes.

    Oh Yum, this is a keeper, for sure. One of the trips to Savannah, we went to Lady and Sons. Upon leaving I went over and bought a cookbook and Lordy there were her sons in the back signing. They are the cutest things going.It was for my daughter, she thinks Paula Dean is the only one that has a cookbook out. Bobby wrote the cutest message in the book for Dana, she was thrilled to pieces when she saw it.

    Hugs,

    I'm a Yankee, and my Mama taught me how to cook good fried chicken. My son-in-law (from Alabama) was amazed that I knew how to make SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN! lol

    Hi Susan

    What a nice post! Your chicken looks scrumptious! I am a Paula Deen fan and hope to be able to take a trip to Savannah to visit her Lady& Son's restaurant someday.
    Did you read her autobiography? It was very interesting.
    Happy Foodie Friday!

  40. Sara's Sweet SurpriseFebruary 20, 2009 at 9:55 PM

    I adore Paula Deen probably as much as I adore fried chicken!!!! I'm very picky about my fried chicken...like Miss Paula's it has to be *Crispy,Crunchin', good! As said in the movie Fried Green Tomatoes..."You got a good scald on that chicken!"
    Have you ever tried making it with buttermilk? I've seen the chicken marinated in the buttermilk (in fridge overnight) also dredged in the milk than flour. I'm curious about the difference.

    Thanks for your Foody Friday visit. I'm fairly new to the whole blog world, so I Appreciate and enjoy visits.

    Sweet Wishes,
    Sara
