Provided by ThatJodiGirl

Categories     Chicken

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 1/2 lbs broiler-fryer chickens (cut up)
1 cup Bisquick
1/2 teaspoon onion salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 beaten egg
1/2 cup beer
Crisco cooking oil

Steps:

  • Rinse chicken.
  • In a large saucepan, cover chicken with lightly salted water.
  • Bring to boiling; reduce heat.
  • Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Drain.
  • Pat dry with paper towels.
  • For batter, in a bowl combine bisquick mix, onion salt, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
  • In another bowl stir together egg and beer; add to bisquick mixture.
  • Beat until smooth.
  • Meanwhile, in a heavy 3 quart saucepan or deep fat fryer heat 1 1/4 inches of oil or shortening to 365 degrees.
  • Dip chicken pieces, one at a time, into batter, gently shaking off excess batter.
  • Carefully lower into the hot oil.
  • Fry, two or three pieces at a time, for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown, turning once.
  • Drain well on paper towels.
  • Keep warm.

Tips:

  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven to fry the chicken. This will help prevent overcrowding and ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.
  • Use a thermometer to check the temperature of the oil. The oil should be between 350°F and 375°F before adding the chicken.
  • Do not overcrowd the pot. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the chicken will not cook evenly.
  • Fry the chicken in batches. This will help prevent overcrowding and ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken from the oil. This will help drain the excess oil.
