Friiied chicken (Colonel Sanders watch out!!)

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup hot red pepper sauce
• 2 cups self-rising flour
• 2 1/2 pound chicken, cut into pieces

Directions

House Seasoning, recipe follows

• Oil, for frying, preferably peanut oil but canola works too
  

Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a deep pot. Do not fill the pot more than 1/2 full with oil.

In a medium size bowl, beat the eggs. Add enough hot sauce so the egg mixture is bright orange (about 1 cup). Season the chicken with the House Seasoning. Dip the seasoned chicken in the egg, and then coat well in the flour. Place the chicken in the preheated oil and fry the chicken, turning once, until brown and crisp. Dark meat takes longer than white meat. Approximate cooking time is 13 to 14 minutes for dark meat and 8 to 10 minutes for white meat.

House Seasoning:

• 1/8 C paprika
• 1/8 C onion salt
• 1/8 C celery salt
• 1/8 C sage
• 1/8 C garlic powder
• 1/8 C ground allspice
• 1/8 C ground oregano
• 1/8 C chili powder

• 1/8 C basil leaves, crushed
• 1/8 C marjoram leaves, crushed finely
