Bw’s Recipes…..

1 whole chicken
6-8 cups shortening for cooking (sunflower oil is just as good)
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 teaspoon MSG
1/8 teaspoon Paprika
1/8 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/8 teaspoon Baking Powder

Cooking:

Trim any excess skin and fat from the chicken pieces. Prehea
t the shortening in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees. Combine the
beaten egg and milk in a medium bowl. In another medium
bowl, combine the remaining coating ingredients (flour, salt,
pepper and MSG). When the chicken has marinated, transfer
each piece to paper towels so that excess liquid can drain off.

Working with one piece at a time, first dip in egg and milk
then coat the chicken with the dry flour mixture, then the
egg and milk mixture again, and then back into the flour.
Be sure that each piece is coated very generously. Stack the
chicken on a plate or cookie sheet until each piece has been
coated. Drop the chicken, one piece at a time into the hot
shortening. Fry half of the chicken at a time (4 pieces) for
12-15 minutes, or until it is golden brown. You should be
sure to stir the chicken around halfway through the cooking
time so that each piece cooks evenly. Remove the chicken to a
rack or towels to drain for about 5 minutes before eating.
