Roy Rogers® was a huge fast-food chain in the eastern U. The chain was unique because not only did they offer-up burgers, but fried chicken as well. People really enjoyed their chicken. In fact, to this day there are arguments over who had better chicken-Roy Rogers® or KFC®. Hardees® bought the chain, and eventually phased it out-much like they did with Burger-Chef®. This is a per-serving recipe. Multiply by number of servings. (One serving= 3 drumsticks). Prep time is estimated. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons flour |
1/2 tablespoon cornstarch |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon accent seasoning (msg) |
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1/4 teaspoon onion powder |
1/4 teaspoon powdered sugar |
1/8 teaspoon paprika |
3 chicken drumsticks |
vegetable oil, for deep-fryer |
1/2 teaspoon powdered egg whites |
3 tablespoons milk |
Directions:
1. Pre-heat your deep fryer to 375°. In a mixing bowl, blend egg whites and milk with a wire whisk - set aside.(Make sure they're mixed thoroughly-somewhat frothy .).
2. Measure dry ingredients into a gallon sized Zip Lock type bag, close, and shake well to mix.
3. Generously coat the drumsticks with the milk-egg mixture, and place them in the bag of seasonings. (I recommend doing 3 at a time) Then shake the bag until well coated.
4. Drop into deep fryer and allow to cook 15 minutes. (Fry no more than 9 at a time - and if cooking 9, go 18-22 min, eyeball 'em) When the drumsticks are done, they will be a dark golden brown.
5. Remove crispy chicken and drain on a paper towel lined plate. CAUTION! They will be very HOT, so allow them to cool 5-8 minutes before serving.
6. Note: You can remove the skin for skinless crispy chicken if you prefer.
7. Note 2: Try this coating recipe and cooking method with CHICKEN TENDERS. Just cut up boneless breasts into bite sized pieces, coat with milk-egg/seasoning and deep fry.
8. Note 3: You can also use this coating and cooking method for wings, thighs, breasts etc. Just be sure to coat well and adjust cooking time for the different sizes of chicken.
