- 1 quart canola or vegetable oil
- One 3-pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces
- Seasoning salt and black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, optional
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
INGREDIENTS
Special equipment: a deep-frying thermometer
1. Add the oil to a large, deep frying pan over high heat; heat to 350 degrees F on a deep-frying thermometer.
2. Generously sprinkle the chicken on both sides with some seasoning salt, then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon black pepper and the cayenne if using. Put the flour in a plastic or paper bag.
3. Two pieces at a time, add the chicken to the bag and shake until coated in flour. Shake off the excess flour and place the chicken in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, 8 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to absorb the excess oil.
