Bajun Fried Chicken Serves
6
1 2 1/2
to 3 pound frying chicken cut into pieces
2 cups vegetable oil for frying
1/4 cup or more seasoning (chopped)
1/2 Cup Flour
1 Tablespoon cornmeal
2 Teaspoons poultry seasoning
Salt and black pepper to taste
Wash and
clean the chicken pieces and pat them dry on paper towel.
Heat the oil to 375 degrees in a heavy skillet (cast iron preferably)
With a sharp knife, score the chicken pieces and fill each slash with
a bit of seasoning poling to ensure that it is well inside the
chicken. Mix the flour, cornmeal, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper
in a paper bag. Place the chicken pieces in the bag and shake until
they are well coated. Place the chicken pieces in the hot oil and
cook for 20 to 25 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure that they
are golden brown on all sides. Remove the chicken from the oil and
drain it on paper towels. Serve Hot..
