Paula Deen's Fried Chicken

I wanted to make fried chicken, googled for a recipe, and found this one with 850 reviews and an average rating of 5 stars. Obviously, it piqued my interest.
I made it, and it was everything I had hoped for--crispy, juicy, flavorful!
For your convenience, I added an extra step, in case you wanted to make your own self-rising flour. (I wasn't about to go to the store just to buy it, when I could make it and already had lots of all-purpose flour in my pantry!)
Cooking Instructions
- 1
If you want to make your own self-rising flour, take 2 cups all-purpose flour and mix with 3 teaspoons of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of salt
- 2
In a medium sized bowl, beat the eggs with the water
- 3
Add enough hot sauce to make the egg mixture bright orange
- 4
In another bowl, combine the flour and pepper
- 5
Season the chicken with the house seasoning
- 6
Dip the seasoned chicken in the egg mixture and coat well in the flour mixture
- 7
Heat the oil to 350°F in a deep pot. This is important for consistent results. (I used an infrared thermometer, but a food thermometer may be better.) Do not fill the pot more than halfway with oil.
- 8
Fry the chicken in the oil until golden brown and crispy. Dark meat: 13-14 minutes. White meat: 8-10 minutes.

I modified a recipe from "America's Most Wanted Recipes," which features recipes from famous restaurants and fast food chains.Chicken with bones attached tastes better than boneless. The original recipe uses 3 1/2 tablespoons of salt, and instead of allspice, uses accents, flavor enhancers, and a pressure fryer. Recipe by NY cookpad.japan -

We were out back trimming the avocado trees. Hauling limbs, and cutting wood. That’s hot hard work but a labor of love. Everyone was getting hungry and thirsty so I had all the ingredients for an early supper. Brined chicken wings ready for frying. This is how I do all of my fried chicken. It pulls the blood out. Call me weird, but, I do NOT like bloody chicken. Soaking it in the salt water is the ticket to tasty, juicy, seasoned chicken all the way to the bone. And who doesn’t like really good fried chicken?
