Ingredients

3 Eggs
1/3 cup Water
about 1 cup Hot red pepper sauce (recommended: Texas Pete)
2 cups Self-rising flour
1 teaspoon Pepper
To taste House seasoning, recipe follows
1 (1 to 2 1/2-pound) chicken, cut into pieces
Oil, for frying, preferably peanut oil
House Seasoning:
1 cup Salt
1/4 cup Black pepper
1/4 cup Galic powder

Preparation

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 in a deep pot. Do not fill 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.

House Seasoning directions:

Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
