Now anyone who watched Little House On The Prairie, has heard of Cinnamon Chicken. I looked for a recipe, but could not find any. I found chicken roasted with cinnamon sauce, but no fried chicken. So this is the recipe I came up with, years ago and my family loves it.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
3/4 Tbsp sea salt
3/4 Tbsp freshly ground pepper
1 Tbsp freshly ground cinnamon
1 tsp paprika, sweet mild
3 organic egg whites, slightly beaten with a little water
1 1/2 c flour
1 organic cut up chicken
crisco or a good cooking oil

Steps:

1. Wash your chicken and set it aside to drain.
2. Mix the flour and spices together.
3. Heat a frying pan with the crisco or oil on low to medium heat.
4. Dip your chicken in cold water and shake the excess off. Place in the egg whites to coat. Shake off excess egg white. Roll the chicken to coat all sided, shake off excess and place on rack to dry slightly.
5. Place your chicken in the hot oil carefully and brown on all sides. Lower heat and cook uncovered until done..about 45 minutes. Sometimes I don't want a crispy chicken, so I leave te lid a jar.
6. When the chicken is done. Drain all the fat and return 2-3 tablespoons of fat to the frying pan. Add the same amount of flour and stir to make a Roux. Add milk to make a gravy and cook to the thickness you like. If it's too thick add a little more milk. Sorry folks forgot to say, you serve this in the gravy.

Tips:

Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. This will help the chicken get a crispy, golden-brown crust.
Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you add too much chicken to the skillet, it will steam instead of fry and won't get as crispy.
Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help it cook evenly without burning.
Don't move the chicken around too much. Let it cook undisturbed for a few minutes on each side so that it can develop a nice crust.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. It should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or green beans.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon fried chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it is also a great way to impress your friends and family.
