Fried Chicken!

[G-freegal12]

I go to this river every year with my family and we eat fried chicken. How do I make it? They all get theirs from KFC and that makes me scared It smells good though...

Maybe it might be better for you to pack your own lunch.

Fried chicken . . . made some on Saturday for a gluten-free potluck/pitch-in . . .

I'm not good with quantities. I throw stuff in until it "looks" right so these are estimates:

chicken (whatever kind of pieces you like)

1/2 cup gluten-free flour blend

1/2 cup pamelas baking mix (you could use just another 1/2 cup of gluten-free flour, but this is what we like)

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon lawry's seasoned salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon salt

one egg

canola oil

Mix dry ingredients (flours & spices). Beat egg in a bowl (add a tablespoon or two of water to thin it a bit). Heat a frying pan with enough oil to come up at least halfway on your thickest piece of chicken. I cook at about medium heat.

Coat a piece of chicken in the egg. Then coat it in your flour/spice mix. Place in frying pan. After coating all pieces and putting into the pan salt them all and cover. It's hard for me to tell you when to turn . . . depends on what size pieces you are using and if they are boneless or not. For me and my stove, I turn boneless chicken breasts at about 12 minutes. They should be a nice golden brown. Salt the second side and replace lid. Cook until done and nice and golden . . . maybe about another 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oil and place on plate with paper towels.

I marinade the chicken in buttermilk flavored with some hot sauce and mustard for several hours, then mix mashed poatoe flakes, cormeal, and herbs and spices. Then let most of the buttermilk drain off and coat with mixture and fry. Or, have egg in one shallow bowl, seasoned flour in another, and seasoned bread or cracker or above mixture coating. Dip first in flour, then shake of the excess. Next, dip in egg, and then in crumbs and fry. Sometimes I brown them and finish them off in the oven. But, I never cover them. Have fun.
