Ingredients:

Serving

4 to 5 lbs chicken parts, cut up , excess fat removed , average size pieces do not use very large or heavy peices to insure proper frying
1 large bottle of favorite italian salad dressing ( could be red wine, cheese flavored , garlic etc )
1 tbsp cajun spice blend or as desired
1 tbsp salt or as desired
1 tsp fresh ground black pepper or as desired
flour , about 3 cups
yellow cornmeal , about 1 cup
4 eggs fork beaten
1/4 cup liquid ( water , plain milk , or chicken broth
louisiana or other hot sauce , 1 tbsp or as desired
canola oil , peanut oil or crisco type vegetable shortening
extra coarse salt and cracked pepper if desired

Directions:

Place chicken parts in a ziplock bag and add bottled dressing and let chicken marinade overnight or at least 4 hours
When ready to use, drain chicken, pat dry, let warm up to room temp for best frying
Place flour , cornemeal and dry spices and dry seasonings in bowl
In another bowl beat eggs, liquid of choice and hot sauce
Meanwhole place oi or shortening in a real heavy dutty skillet or electric fy pan ( which I used ) and heat about inch or more of oil to 375F.
Oil should appear wavy and a drop of water will immediately sizzle in oil
Using one hand, dip chicken in seasoned flour, then in egg and again in flour
Do this with all pieces and place in a single layer on plate to air dry while you repeat with all chicken pieces
Then add chciken carefully into hot oil, several peices ( do not overcrowd in pan or oil temp will drop ) and heat golden brown on each side.
Turn each piece carefully with tongs and cook till done, about 1/2 hour total
Drain on paper toweling
If desired sprinkle hot chicken with cracked pepper, salt, etc for added flavor and spiceness
Chicken pieces can be placed in a 200F oven to keep warm
I have a professional table top food heating lamp to keep the chicken warm.
Nice to have for family gatherings, buffets but warm oven will suffice
Enjoy!
