This is hands down the best fried chicken I ever had! I was skpetical about the hot sauce, but it was great, and now I put that in the eggs when I fry green tomatoes or anything else. NOTE: The House Seasoning recipe is enough to last for ages. Read more There was a note in her website where someone said the chicken was so salty they couldn't eat it...they had used all the house seasoning! ROFL! See less

How to make it
- HOUSE SEASONING
- Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
- SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN
- In a medium size bowl, beat the eggs with the water.
- Add enough hot sauce so the egg mixture is bright orange. In another bowl, combine the flour and pepper.
- Season the chicken with the House Seasoning.
- Dip the seasoned chicken in the egg, and then coat well in the flour mixture.
- Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a deep pot.
- Do not fill the pot more than 1/2 full with oil.
- Fry the chicken in the oil until brown and crisp.
- Dark meat takes longer than white meat.
- It should take dark meat about 13 to 14 minutes, white meat around 8 to 10 minutes.

I did this one also. I got it in email from her site. It is a blue ribbon recipe. I add hot sauce to my eggs when I batter fish, it's great!
