I made this today and this Northern born girl was able to kick some southern chicken butt (breasts actually).

3 eggs
1/3 c. water
1 cup hot red-pepper sauce: recommended Texas Pete ( I only had Franks hot sauce)
2 c. self-rising flour
1 tsp. black peper
1 chicken cut up. (just used chicken breasts, boneless, skinless)
House Seasoning (1 c. salt, 1/4 c. black Peper, 1/4c. garlic powder; mix toghether and store for up to 6 months)
oil for frying (preferable peanut oil) I used crisco shortning.

1)Heat oil to 350 in a deep pot. do not fill the pot more that half full of oil.

2) In a medium bowl, beat the eggs & water. Add enough hot sauce so the egg mixture is bright orage.. In another bowl, combine the flour and pepper. Season the chicken with the house seasoning. dip the seasoned chicken into the egg, then coat with flour mixture. (I did a double dip, thicker crust, awesome)

3) fry the chicken in the oil until brown and criipsp. dark meat takes longer than white meat. It should take dark 13 to 14 min., white between 8 and 10.

This was a great addition to my recipe collection and just wanted to share with others.

enjoy!

Thanks for the recipe, yummy yummy

sounds great

i have also made this but I let my chicken set in the hot sauce mixture for a couple of hours!! Yum Yum

yum! Sounds so good!

I this right, 1 cup of hot sauce?!!! That's alot.

I alway use a half a bottle. A medium size bottle but yes calls for a cup You can barely taste the hot sauce and i use milk instead of water

Thank You!! Love chicken, so will definitely try this.

OMG I can't believe that you found a recipe from Paula Deen that doesn't start with at least a stick of butter and no less than a cup of real cream (said with a bit of tongue in cheek) Looks like a good recipe.

why the milk instead of water? I am not much of a cook and usually follow recipes to the T.....

I think it makes the chicken taste better just a personal thing!!

sounds reasonable to me, thanks

My husband likes anything with hot sauce so I know he will like this chicken. Thanks

hmmmm hot sauce.... In the south milk is almost always used. My granny was a cook and she used buttermilk. your recipe sounds great. I agree no butter lol

Yummy
