Millies Magnificent Fried Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Take your cut up chicken pieces and skin them if you prefer. Put the flour in a large plastic bag (let the amount of chicken you are cooking dictate the amount of flour you use). Season the flour with paprika, salt and pepper to taste (paprika helps to brown the chicken).
• Dip chicken pieces in buttermilk then, a few at a time, put them in the bag with the flour, seal the bag and shake to coat well. Place the coated chicken on a cookie sheet or tray, and cover with a clean dish towel or waxed paper. LET SIT UNTIL THE FLOUR IS OF A PASTE-LIKE CONSISTENCY. THIS IS CRUCIAL!
• Fill a large skillet (cast iron is best) about 1/3 to 1/2 full with vegetable oil. Heat until VERY hot. Put in as many chicken pieces as the skillet can hold. Brown the chicken in HOT oil on both sides. When browned, reduce heat and cover skillet; let cook for 30 minutes (the chicken will be cooked through but not crispy). Remove cover, raise heat again and continue to fry until crispy.
• Drain the fried chicken on paper towels. Depending on how much chicken you have, you may have to fry in a few shifts. Keep the finished chicken in a slightly warm oven while preparing the rest.

Steps:

• 1. Place chicken in a bag and pound it, so that the thickness is even. (about 1/4 inch thick or so)
• 2. In a shallow bowl (I like to use a pie plate) add the bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic & onion powder and crushed red pepper. Mix well
• 3. Put flour in another shallow bowl or plate. Next beat egg with the water in yet another shallow dish. Line them up, flour, egg wash then bread crumb mixture.
• 4. Add oil to skillet. Dip chicken in the flour, then egg wash and finally the bread crumbs.
• 5. If oil is hot, place chicken in skillet and fry for about 5 minutes each side or till completely cooked through. Drain on a rack or on a paper towel.

Steps:

• Toss together chicken pieces, black pepper, salt, paprika, rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage, white pepper, and cayenne in a large bowl to coat.
• Stir in buttermilk until chicken is coated. Refrigerate for 6 hours.
• Combine flour, salt, paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, white pepper, and onion powder in a large shallow dish.
• Remove chicken from the buttermilk and dredge each piece in the seasoned flour. Shake off any excess and transfer to a plate.
• Heat peanut oil in a large Dutch oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Add all the chicken to the pan and cook for 10 minutes.
• Turn chicken pieces and cook for another 10-15 minutes.
• Remove chicken from the oil and transfer to a cooling rack set over a paper towel lined baking sheet. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• To cut down some frying time, you can partially cook chicken. Sometimes I boil pieces or will cook in a frying pan with some extra virgin olive oil.
• In a shallow plate or bowl, mix the flour, seasoned salt, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
• In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs.
• Dip the chicken pieces in egg and roll or shake in flour mixture. Dip back into eggs and then back into flour mixture for double coating.
• In a large skillet, heat oil for frying.
• Fry coated chicken on each side for about 5 minutes.
• Cover skillet and cook on lower heat for about 10 minutes.
• Remove cover, turn up heat and fry for 5 minutes on each side to make chicken crispy.

• Drain fried chicken on paper towels and keep warm in oven until ready to serve.
• In fryer, I heat to 350-400 degrees F.
• Drop chicken in the basket and fry for about 7 minutes or until chicken is crispy and fully cooked. *This is the reason that I partially cook the chicken - to make sure that it gets thoroughly cooked and so it stays juicy*
• Eat with favorite dipping sauce or just crispy! ENJOY!

Steps:

• In a shallow plate or bowl, mix the flour, seasoned salt, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Roll or shake the chicken pieces in the flour mixture and place on a platter. Then dip each chicken piece in the egg and roll again in flour mixture.
