Dawn's Momma Fried Chicken
- 4 whole chicken leg quarters, thawed/separated (8 pieces)
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp water
- 3 cup flour
- 2 tbsp ground pepper
- 1 tbsp ground ginger
- 1 1/2 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tbsp sea salt
- 2 1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 vegetable oil (for frying)
- In a bowl whisk eggs & water together.
- In a large bowl combine flour and spices; mixing well.
- One piece at a time, put chicken into egg, then into flour mixture.
- Add back into egg and again into flour.
- (be sure to shake off excess flour with each dredging).
- Repeat with each piece.
- In a non-stick pan, add 1/2 inch of vegetable oil.
- Turn on med-low heat.
- Carefully add chicken to heated oil.
- Cook covered, for 12 to 15 minutes.
- Turn over and cook another 10 to 14 minutes.
- Set on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- NOTE: Remember as it cooks the oil temperature will rise.
- So cooking time will be less on the 2nd side.
- For thicker pieces, (thigh or breast--bone in), I cook skin side down first.
- I have a 12-inch non-stick pan and cook mine in batches depending on the size of the chicken pieces.
- When I make my dredge I don't measure anything but the flour.
- So the above is just a guesstimate.
- Feel free to play around with the amount of spices you use.
- I use more pepper, cinnamon, & chili powder than anything else.
