IN MEMORY OF MY MOM. This chicken, taught to me by my Mom when I was about 12 years old, was the way everyone I knew did it in Mississippi and Georgia. I hope you like it. It has a crispy, huge thick coating with the southern touch (the magical ingredients being the vinegar and baking powder) and tender inside. Oh ! my ! never a chicken like this. Ingredients:
1 whole cut up chicken |
1/2 cup vinegar |
2 cups self rising flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons black pepper |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 teaspoon onion powder |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 cup oil (for frying) |
Directions:
1. Marinate chicken in vinegar for a minimum of 1 hours - overnight is better.
2. Mix flour, spices, and baking powder.
3. Heat oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
4. Coat chicken in flour mixture.
5. Brown on both sides; cover.
6. Fry 15 minutes one side.
7. Fry 15 minutes other side.
8. Take off lid.
9. Fry 5 minutes extra to crisp.
10. Thanks for keeping the southern tradition alive.
