Authentic Southern Fried Chicken Recipe
A great Southern fried chicken recipe to try !
INGREDIENTS

* 1/2 gallon of peanut oil (Nothing other than peanut oil)
* 2-3 pounds chicken breasts (bone in) and chicken legs (Completely thawed!-this is VERY important)
* 3 cups self-rising flour
* Salt, pepper and paprika to taste (the more, the better)
* 4 eggs, beaten

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat peanut oil in a deep fryer to 350°F.

Thoroughly wash chicken and pat dry with paper towel. In a large mixing bowl, mix together flour, salt, pepper and paprika. Roll and thoroughly coat each piece of chicken in flour and seasoning mix.

Dip each piece in beaten egg mixture.

Re-roll in flour and seasoning mixture once more.

Place in deep fryer for 30-40 minutes TURNING CHICKEN PIECES ONLY ONCE-Again, VERY IMPORTANT.

After 30-40 minutes you'll have a wonderful, brown and crispy skin (scald as we say down here) and the inside of the chicken will be moist and tender. The Southern fried chicken recipe is ready...enjoy it with friends !
