Ingredients:
1 whole chicken, cut into pieces (breasts, wings, thighs, legs, etc.)2 cups milk or buttermilk 2 eggs 1 tbsp. instant chicken bouillon 1 1/2 cup flour 2/3 cup parmesan cheese 2 tsp. Cajun or Creole seasoning 2 tsp. oregano 2 tsp. basil 2 tsp. garlic powder Vegetable oil for frying
Directions:
Combine milk, egg and chicken bouillon. Place chicken pieces in milk/egg mixture, and soak for 30 minutes. Combine flour and remaining ingredients (except oil). Remove chicken from milk/egg mixture, letting as much of the milk/egg drip off as possible. Dip each piece in the flour/seasoning mixture and coat well. If you want a thicker breading, coat chicken in the eggs again, and then the flour again. Place coated chicken on a platter, and chill in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Heat enough oil in a large skillet to completely cover chicken (or prepare deep fryer). When oil is hot, place chilled chicken a few pieces at a time in hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy (about 8-10 minutes per side, depending on the heat of your oil). Drain for ten minutes in a colander lined with paper towels.If Creole Seasoning is not available in your grocery store, you can make your own: Creole Seasoning 2 tbsp. salt 2 tbsp. garlic powder 1 tbsp. ground black pepper 1 tbsp. cayenne peppre 1 tbsp. dried thyme 1 tbsp. dried oregano 2 1/2 tbsp. paprika 1 tbsp. onion powder Blend all of the ingredients in a bowl. Store in a sealed container for up to 6 months. Makes 2/3 cup Creole Seasoning from "The Great Chefs Cook American". Recipe by Gerard Maras of New Orleans, Louisiana. | |
