 Fried Chicken

Ingredients:
Boneless Skinless Breast Strips
Oil for frying
Small Bowl of Water
1 ½ C Flour
2 tsp Salt
2 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
¼ tsp Paprika
Dash Cayanne Pepper


Instructions:
Heat oil until hot. Mix flour and seasonings together on a plate, making sure it is well incorporated. Take chicken and dip strips into flour, then water, and then flour again. Making sure it is well covered. Fry in hot pan until meat is 180 degrees and browned on each side. (cooking times will vary based on how thick the chicken is). Drain chicken in wire strainer.

Autumn’s Tips: I love to add tarragon to my seasonings!

To make the best fries: Take the left over flour mixture and mix with bowl of water. Add more water until you get a runny mixture. Cut potatoes into fries and dip into batter and fry in the same grease you used for chicken. These are the best fries in the world!!!!

After you are done with this oil, make sure you throw it away!!! It will make you sick if you save it!

To make fried bone-in chicken. Boil chicken until slightly cooked (10 min). Dredge in the same fashion as boneless and fry until 180 degrees. It is much harder to get bone-in chicken done.


To fry pork chops: Add 1 tsp extra salt and 1 tsp ground mustard to flour and fry in the same way!
