HOT AND SPICY CHICKEN

I don't like junkfood at all but sometimes its just so nice:-) ..So for all the KFC lovers here's a "secret recipe"

1 whole frying chicken; cut up and marinated6-8 cups of shortening1 egg; beaten1 cup of milk2 cups of all-purpose flour2 1/2 teaspoons of salt3/4 teaspoon of pepper1 teaspoon of white pepper3/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder1/8 teaspoon of baking powder

Trim any excess skin and fat from the chicken pieces. Preheat the shortening in a deep- fryer to 350 degrees. Combine the beaten egg and milk in a medium bowl. In another medium bowl, combine the remaining coating ingredients When the chicken has marinated, transfer each piece to paper towels so that excess liquid can drain off. Working with one piece at a time, dip in egg and milk then coat the chicken with the dry flour mixture, coated very generously. Stack the chicken on a plate or cookie sheet until each piece has been coated. Drop the chicken, one piece at a time into the hot shortening. Fry half of the chicken at a time (4 pieces) for 12-15 minutes, or until it is golden brown. You should be sure to stir the chicken around halfway through the cooking time so that each piece cooks evenly. Remove the chicken to a rack or towels to drain for about 5 minutes before eating.

HONEY BARBEQUE DIPPING SAUCE
1, 5 cups of ketchup, 1/3 cup of white vinegar, 1/8 cup of molasses (=is a thick syrup), 1/8 cup of corn syrup, 1/4 cup of honey, 1 teaspoon of liquid smoke flavoring, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/8 teaspoon of onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon of chili powder

In a sauce pan combine all of the above and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes and keep warm. When you are ready to eat the chicken dip in and allow the chicken to drain for 1 minute.
