If you love a crispy coating on your fried chicken then this recipe is a must-try.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 ½ tablespoons garlic salt
- 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 2 egg yolks, beaten
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
- 1 ½ cups beer or water
- 1 (3 pounds) whole chicken, cut into pieces
Directions
- In one medium bowl, mix together 3 cups of flour, garlic salt, 1 tablespoon black pepper, paprika, and poultry seasoning. In a separate bowl, stir together 1 1/3 cups flour, salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, egg yolks, and beer. You may need to thin with additional beer if the batter is too thick.
- Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Moisten each piece of chicken with a little water, then dip in the dry mix. Shake off excess and dip in the wet mix, then dip in the dry mix once more.
