Ingredients:

Serving

8 -10 pieces premium quality fresh chicken
salt & ground black pepper
vegetable shortening
4 beaten large eggs
2 tbsp lawry's seasoned salt ( use lawry's brand only)
1 tbsp ground black pepper
1 tbsp yellow cornmeal
2 tsp poultry seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp lemon pepper
1/4 tsp white pepper
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
canola oil

Directions:

SPRINKLE chicken pieces with salt and pepper; RUB seasonings into chicken; COAT chicken with pure vegetable shortening (this will help seal in the juices).
MEASURE the BREADING ingredients - except flour and cornstarch -into a large sealable container or a large zip-lock bag; SEAL the container; SHAKE to blend; OPEN container and add 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup cornstarch; SEAL and shake again, until thoroughly combined.
BEAT 4 large eggs in a medium bowl for the EGGWASH.
DIP 1-2 pieces wet chicken at a time into the EGGWASH to coat.
PLACE wet chicken into the BREADING mixture container; SEAL container firmly; SHAKE chicken gently in all motions to thoroughly coat chicken.
TRANSFER chicken pieces onto a cooling rack when chicken is evenly and generously breaded; ALLOW chicken to rest and absorb the breading for a few minutes before frying.
PREHEAT deep-fryer manufacturer's recommended amount of canola oil; VERY SLOWLY heat oil in gradual increments to 315°F until preheated.
ADD breaded chicken to the elevated fry basket in deep-fryer without crowding.
LOWER the deep-frying basket with chicken very slowly into the hot oil; FRY chicken until golden and crisp, until fully cooked fully cooked and juices run clear (about 15-18 minutes, depending on chicken portion/size).
DRAIN on a wire rack over a baking sheet. NOTE: To keep chicken warm before serving, place chicken on a rack-fitted baking sheet covered with a sheet of foil in preheated 170°F oven; SERVE and enjoy!
