There are other ways, but I make it like this:





2 cups sifted flour


1 tsp. paprika


1/2 tsp. black pepper


1tsp. salt


1 tsp. garlic powder





Mix together. Whisk in 1 bottle beer (any regular beer is fine) until incorporated. *If you only have cans, use 1.5 cans.


Let batter sit untouched for about 10 mins.





Dip chicken pieces in the batter, let it drip off a little, and carefully add to a pan with about 1 inch high of oil. A big fry pan with canola oil in it.


(A deep fryer even better!)


Fry until golden brown on all sides.


Move to a 350 degree oven for about 20 mins.





_____________________________________





If you have several hours before dinner, marinate all of the chicken in a pan of buttermilk. Let sit 3 hours.





Dredge in plain flour (no beer, just dry) and THEN in the beer batter --- fry in 1 inch canola oil and same as above.Pan Fried Chicken Recipes?
Easiest and BEST!





Southern Fried Chicken





House Seasoning:


1 cup salt


1/4 cup black pepper


1/4 cup garlic powder


Southern Fried Chicken:


4 eggs


1/3 cup water


1 cup hot red pepper sauce


2 cups self-rising flour


1 teaspoon pepper


House Seasoning


2 1/2-pound chicken, cut into pieces


Oil, for frying, preferably peanut oil





To make the House Seasoning, mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.


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 than white meat. It should take dark meat about 13 to 14 minutes, white meat around 8 to 10 minutes.
Honestly, I'm not a super fan of pan fried chicken but maybe these'll help give you some ideas.

Other easy frying recipes:





- Cook it in white wine. http://www.cooks.com/rec/doc/0,1739,1571鈥?/a>





- Stir fry. Throw in some vegetables, garlic, onions, ginger, and green onions/scallions/shallots to taste.
The way my family makes it, is cut your chicken into even sized pieces (we cut the bone in breast into 3 pieces if they are large) Always use bone in - it gives it more flavor.





Then coat the chicken in seasoned flour - salt/pepper. a little chili powder if you want a kick. In a large skillet, put in 1/2 stick REAL butter and 1/2 C oil. Over medium heat, cook the chicken till its done (depending on the size of your chicken it could take up to 30 min). Remove the chicken, and set aside. In the pan, add about 3T of flour, and stir around to make a roux. Add some chicken bouillon, and stir that in. Next, stir in milk till the gravy comes to a boil and starts to thicken - stirring constantly - remembering to scrap the fond (yummy bits) off the bottom of the pan. The gravy should boil twice - I don't know why, that's what I was told by my great grandmother, and grandmother.





Serve with green beans, and boiled potatoes, and LOTS of black pepper.





YUMMY!!!
You have got to have this dressing and marinade around the house...it's called Soycha and it's amazing as a marinade for chicken. I marinade it for 20 min to over night and I bake it, or pan fry it or if I'm in a rush, even microwave it and it's awsome!!!!
