roll chicken in flour
Depends how much chicken you have. For a nice thin tempura batter mix equal quantities of flour to ice cold sparkling water, plus an egg. How long to fry for depends again on the thickness of the chicken, if it's on the bone etc. Use a skewar to make sure it's cooked all the way through. Juices running clear. I'd say about 10-15 minutes as a guide.
I am from Texas and this is how I make fried chicken:
First I boil the chicken so that it is mostly cooked. It is better to do this first than to fry it raw because then you don't have to fry it for too long. If you fry it raw you have to fry it for a while to make sure it is cooked thoroughly.
While the chicken is boiling I crush up some saltine crackers to use for the batter. After the chicken is done boiling, I dip it in eggs that have been beaten and seasoned with pepper and garlic powder. Then press it into the crushed up crackers and let it fry for about five minutes. I used to use flour as a batter, but it is not as flavorful as the saltine crackers.
After your chicken has been washed,and cut up (if necessary), flour it. You can use a brown paper bag and add a cup of flour to it. I usually add some seasoning to this as well. Put a couple of pieces of chicken in the bag at a time and shake to coat the chicken. Depending on how much chicken you're frying you may have to add more flour and seasoning as needed. and seasoned you can dip it in a beaten egg and then roll it in crushed crackers. If you don't want to use crackers you can use plain, crushed up corn flakes as well.
As for deep frying it, I'd say at about 350 degrees or so for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Batters you will get a million recipies- Thing to do is rub chopped sage and finely grated challottes and a little salt into chicken 2 hours before battering and frying.Then you have a GREAT fried chick chick.
what you need:
Chicken
Eggs (slightly beaten with a fork)
Flour (any type)
1st coat chicken in eggs, then in flour. Repeat twice. Fry until golden brown. If unsure if ready, remove one piece of chicken and cut in half.
put your spices on your chicken leave for awhile then mix chicken with egg white and dip into cornflour then hot oil to fry
