Unorthodox Southern-fried Chicken Recipe

	Busmamawilliams / All my dishes 1 year, 4 months ago This is my own, strangely-unique way of making fried chicken. Although my southern-born Mom would probably be insulted by this recipe, it's very flavorful, moist, crisp & has LOTS less grease. Prep:12m Cook:45m Servings:8	Busmamawill

Ingredients

2 to 3 pounds chicken parts; skinned & fat removed

5 cups hot water

3 Tablesps. adobo seasoning (Goya; one with blue cap)

3 cups white flour

1/4 teasp. cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teasp. italian seasoning

1/4 teasp. poultry seasoning

1/2 teasp. onion powder

1/4 teasp. garlic powder

3 eggs; beaten

2 cups milk ( I like to use 1 cup evaporated mixed with 1 cup water)

dash hot sauce

3 cups shortening

Directions

In a large pot,bring the 5 cups water to boil, add 2 Tablesps. of the adobo seasoning & place skinned chicken parts into boiling water. Lower heat to medium & boil until chicken is just barely tender. Remove chicken to a colander & let drain & cool until it can be handled. (You can cool & freeze chicken stock for later use). In meantime, mix the following in a wide, shallow pan or casserole dish:

the flour, 1 teasp. of adobo seasoning, cayenne pepper, black pepper, poultry seasoning, Italian seasoning, onion & garlic powders. In another shallow pan mix the following;

the 3 eggs,milk,dash of hot sauce & a dash of adobo seasoning. To this egg mixture add 2 Tablesps. of the flour mixture & beat until smooth.

Heat the shortening in a large pot, until quite hot, over a medium flame. (Since chicken is already cooked, you fry it very quickly until golden). Dip each chicken piece first into milk mixture then lightly coat in the flour mixture. Repeat this a second time with each piece of chicken (double-coated). Shake any excess flour off each piece. Carefully slide pieces into hot shortening (do not crowd pot) & fry without moving or turning pieces until they are golden brown on underside. Now turn once & fry until golden on second side. Remove & drain on paper towels.
