Title: Popeyes Famous Fried Chicken Recipe
Categories: Poultry, Herbs, Chilies
Yield: 8 Pieces
6 c Oil
2/3 c A-P flour
1 tb Salt
2 tb White pepper
1 ts Cayenne pepper
2 ts Paprika
3 lg Eggs
3 1/2 lb Frying chicken with skin;
- cut-up (2 breasts, 2 legs,
- 2 thighs, 2 wings)
Heat oil over medium heat in a deep fryer or in a deep
cast-iron skillet on the stove. Combine the flour, salt,
peppers, and paprika in a bowl. In another bowl, break
eggs and beat until well-blended. Check temperature of
oil by dropping a pinch of flour mixture in pan. If the
oil bubbles rapidly around the flour, it will be the
right temperature. Dip each piece of chicken into eggs;
then coat generously with the flour mixture. Drop each
piece into the hot oil and fry for 15 to 25 minutes or
until the chicken is a dark golden brown. Drain chicken
on paper towels and serve warm.
UDD NOTES: This recipe is *much* closer to the real
deal than the late Gloria Pitzer's "recipe detective"
version. When I make it I make the cayenne and paprika
equal (1 1/2 ts ea). I also eschew the white meat
parts in favour of legs and thighs.
