Batter Fried Chicken

This is super delicious. So good in fact that I ate all four pieces I cooked in one sitting, instead of leaving some for leftovers.

You'll Need:

1 Chicken - Cut into pieces - or your favorite chicken parts

Vegetable Oil - (I used corn oil)

1 egg

1/2 cup chicken broth (or water)

1 cup flour

1/2 tsp. allspice

1/2 tsp. chili powder

2 tbs minced garlic (I used around 7 cloves)

Salt and Pepper

A pan to fry in, with a lid

Beat the egg with the broth, add the seasonings and the garlic, don't be afraid to be generous with the salt and pepper. Slowly add the flour until everything is mixed into a batter. It should be pretty thick and kinda sticky, but not really really sticky. You can add a little water if you need too but be conservative.

Let the batter sit while you heat 1/2 inch of oil in your pan on medium high. Dry off your chicken pieces with paper towels.

Once the oil is hot - (about 350 - or you can drop a tiny bit of batter in to see if it begins to fry) - turn the heat to high, dip each chicken piece into the batter until it's coated and place into the pan with enough room so nothing is touching. Cook in batches if necessary.

Cover, wait a minute for the oil to heat back up, then adjust back down to medium high. After 7 minutes, take the lid off, flip the chicken, and cook another 7 minutes. After that time is up, cook about another 5 minutes, turning the chicken to make sure both sides are good and brown.

Make sure you give it time to cool off, nothing sucks more than burning your mouth before a good meal.
