FLORIDA FRIED CHICKEN
1 frying chicken, cut into pieces
1 quart water
1/2 cup salt
oil (sufficient for frying)
3 cups flour
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
red pepper powder (paprika)
Soak chicken in salt water to cover, (about one quart with 1/2 cup salt) in refrigerator for 3 hrs or over night.
Combine in a bag: 3 cups flour, 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning, 1 tablespoon paprika.
Coat wet pieces in bag 2 or 3 at a time. Fill a deep frying pan with 3 inches of oil and heat on medium high until a 1 inch cube of bread dropped in turns golden brown in one minute (about 360 degees F). Fry chicken pieces until golden brown, starting with the largest pieces (about 15 minutes on both sides). Reduce heat if chicken browns too quickly.
Keep warm in 300F oven as remaining pieces are prepared..
