Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons garlic salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 egg yolks, beaten
1 1/2 cups beer or water
1 quart vegetable oil for frying
1 (3 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
Instructions:
In a medium bowl, mix together 3 cups of flour, garlic salt, black pepper, paprika, and poultry seasoning.
In a separate shallow dish, mix together 1 1/3 cups of flour, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
In another medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and beer (or water).
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large heavy skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Dip each piece of chicken into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and then back into the flour mixture.
Place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 15 minutes for breasts and wings, and 20 minutes for thighs and drumsticks.
Remove the chicken from the oil with a slotted spoon and let drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
This recipe yields deliciously crispy fried chicken with a flavorful coating. The combination of herbs and spices adds a zesty kick to the dish, while the beer (or water) in the egg mixture helps create a light and crispy coating. The end result is a perfect balance of juicy and tender chicken with a satisfying crunch. It’s a classic comfort food that is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Enjoy!
