Paula's Southern Fried Chicken Legs

Every week while planning my menu I ask all the kids if there's something they want me to make for dinner the next week. Makayla always names a candy, which I quickly veto, and Sophie always says she wants chicken bones. Well this week I finally gave in and made her chicken bones :) I've used this recipe several times to fry chicken. It's Paula Deens, so you know it's awesome. I've never made a Paula recipe I didn't enjoy. For some reason this didn't turn out as pretty as it usually does. The breading wanted to fall off and I've never had that problem before. It still tasted amazing though and it made Sophie one happy little camper! If you haven't already, you must try Paula's fried chicken. It's very easy and you won't be disappointed.

PAULA'S SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN LEGS

Paula Deen’s House Seasoning

2 1/2 lb chicken, cut into pieces

2 cup self-rising flour

1 cup hot red pepper sauce

3 eggs

Heat the oil to 350 degrees in a deep pot. Do not fill the pot more than 1/2 full with oil.
In a medium size bowl, beat the eggs. Add enough hot sauce so the egg mixture is bright orange (about 1 cup). Season the chicken with the House Seasoning. Dip the seasoned chicken in the egg, and then coat well in the flour. Place the chicken in the preheated oil and fry the chicken in the oil until brown and crisp. Dark meat takes longer than white meat. Approximate cooking time is 13 to 14 minutes for dark meat and 8 to 10 minutes for white meat.
