Muscatine

Fried, baked, broiled, roasted or grilled. I still love that bird and cannot get a stack of leggs as good as my own mother use to make. In the old Amana range I have had some of the best successes. You plugged in the probe and waited. But now the convection ranges are much different than in the earlier days. So back to the pan I go in search of that recipe to what we called a yealing meal. Anyone wish to share their best fried chicken recipe with us?

Recipe:

Chicken

Ingredients:

Chicken, 1 cup of flour, 2TSP of salt, 1TSP of pepper, 1TSP of garlic powder, 3 eggs, and buttermilk.

Steps:

1) Pre-soak chicken in buttermilk at least 2 hours before frying

2) Mix flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in bowl.

3) Mix 3 eggs w/splash of buttermilk

4) Dip each piece of chicken into eggs and batter with flour.

5) Fry until crispy crust is golden brown and juices run clear.

I forgot, if you'd like to spice up your chicken a notch or two, just add 2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce and 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper.

Add the hot sauce to the eggs and the cayenne pepper to the flour.
