Serves: 4-5
Note: this recipe requires overnight marinating

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 whole chickens, cut into 8 pieces
  • 2 cups evaporated milk
  • ˝ cup water
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 cups flour
  • ˝ tablespoon granulated onion
  • ˝ tablespoon cayenne pepper
  • ˝ tablespoon paprika
  • ˝ tablespoon ground cumin
  • ˝ tablespoon ground tumeric
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • ˝ tablespoon sugar
  • ˝ tablespoon kosher salt
  • canola oil

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large bowl or baking pan large enough to hold all of the chicken, mix the milk, water and eggs together. Marinate the chicken for 24 hours and reserve the leftover marinade as you’ll need it during the frying process.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  3. In a shallow dish or pan, add the flour with all of the spices, corn starch, sugar and salt and blend well.
  4. Dredge each piece of chicken well with the flour and spice mixture, firmly pressing the mixture onto the chicken.
  5. Once covered in the flour mixture, dip the chicken back into the reserved marinade, and then dredge the chicken once more in the flour and spice mixture again firmly pressing it onto the chicken pieces.
  6. Pour about ˝ inch of canola oil into a heavy pan (cast iron works well) and heat the oil to 350 degrees.
  7. Once the oil is good and hot, brown the chicken on both sides for 3-4 minutes or until it becomes a golden brown.
  8. Place the chicken onto a baking sheet and into the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.
  9. Let it cool on a rack and serve.
