Ingredients:
- 3 pounds - Chicken cut into eighths
- 1 cups - Flour
- 1/2 cups - Water
- 1 tablespoons - Kosher Salt
- 1 tablespoons - Louisiana Hot Sauce
- 1/2 teaspoons - Fresh Cracked Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoons - Cayenne Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoons - Garlic Powder
- - Peanut Oil for frying
Directions:
Thoroughly wash and rinse chicken under cold running water, pat dry, and place into a large mixing bowl. Combine the remaining ingredients, except oil, and use your hands to work the flour mixture into a paste to coat the chicken – adding a bit more water if necessary. Cover chicken with plastic wrap and place into the fridge for at least 30 minutes, up to overnight.
Fill a cast-iron skillet with peanut oil until it reaches just over halfway up the side of the skillet. Over medium-high heat, bring the oil to 350 degrees F. Add chicken, working in batches of white meat and dark meat; fry the white meat pieces for 6-7 minutes per side, and the dark meat 7-8 minutes per side. Always ensure that you drop the chicken away from you in the oil to prevent hot oil from splattering on you during the process.
Remove chicken from oil and place on a wire rack to drain. Keep warm in a 200-degree oven until ready to serve.
