Ingredients

• 4 teaspoons fine salt

• 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

• 3 large eggs

• 1/4 cup water

• 1 (4 pound) whole chicken

• 2 quarts vegetable oil for frying

Seasoned Flour:

Description

1. Mix together 4 teaspoons salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne in a small bowl; set aside.

2. Whisk eggs, water, and 2 tablespoons of spice mix thoroughly together in a mixing bowl large enough to hold all chicken pieces.

3. Cut whole chicken into serving-size pieces, ending up with 2 breast halves, 2 thighs, 2 drumsticks, and 2 wings. Alternately, you can use 4 pounds of bone-in, skin-on pre-cut chicken pieces.

4. Add chicken pieces to the egg marinade and toss thoroughly until evenly coated. Press and compact chicken pieces down into the bowl so they are covered with marinade.

5. Cover with plastic, and marinate in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours. Toss chicken pieces several times during the marinating process.
