This recipe came from Paula Deen who has a cooking show on the Food Network. This chicken is so good. The house seasoning is made in bulk. You can store this for several months.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

4 eggs
1/3 cup water
1 cup hot red pepper sauce (does not make chicken spicy)
2 cups self rising flour
1 teaspoon pepper
2 1/2 lbs chicken, cut into pieces
peanut oil or vegetable oil

house seasoning

1 cup salt
1/4 cup pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder

Directions

1
Mix seasoning together and store in airtight container for up to 6 months.
2
In medium bowl, beat eggs with water. Add enough hot sauce so mixture is bright orange.
3
In another bowl, combine flour and pepper. Season chicken with house seasoning. You can let the chicken sit in hot sauce for up to 1 hour. It will not make the chicken spicy.
4
Dip Chicken in egg and coat well with flour mix.
5
Heat oil to 300 degrees in deep pot. Don't fill pot more than half full of oil.
6
Fry chicken in oil until brown and crispy. Dark meat goes in first and takes 13-14 minutes. White meat takes 8-10 minutes.
7
Preparation depends on how long you let the chicken soak in hot sauce.

This is the best DAMN chicken that I have ever made. I used Trappey's hot sauce for the marinade. Hub is begging for more! Kudos to you and Paula Deen!

I had to make this after I came back from Savannah and eating at Paula Dean's restaurant. OH SO GOOD!!! This recipe makes it taste just like the chicken at the restaurant. Very good.
