California Southern Fried Chicken

1. 1

   Heat Oil over medium heat in a wide frying pan until a drop of water dances on the top and evaporates.

2. 2

   Wash and pat dry chicken.

3. 3

   Mix all dry ingredients together in a wide shallow bowl.

4. 4

   Beat eggs in a separate bowl.

5. 5

   Dip chicken in eggs, then in flour mixture, coating completely.

6. 6

   CAREFULLY drop the chicken into the hot oil.

7. 7

   Cook until one side is golden brown, then turn.

8. 8

   Keep turning until all sides are an even dark golden color, and the inside of the chicken is done.

9. 9

   This should take about 10-20 minutes per frying batch, depending on the temperature of the chicken and the size of the pieces.

10. 10

    Take the chicken out and place on a plate layered with a few paper towels to soak up the extra oil.

11. 11

    Repeat until all the chicken is cooked, and serve to hungry family or guests!

12. 12

    (I dont use the Red Pepper when I make mine, but if I have heat loving guests I add it after I make some for myself, just mix it into the flour.)
