I know... somebody said healthy. But I am so enamored with this recipe that I had to share. Your fist thought will be, "That will be hot and spicy!" , but you couldn't be further from the truth. This is one of the easiest, best fried chicken recipe I've ever found. My 9 year old says it is "The best fried chicken ever! I do go a little healthy with this in the fact that I use boneless, skinless chicken breasts, but that's about it. Southern Fried ChickenIngredients * 3 eggs * 1 cup hot red pepper sauce (Texas Pete) * 2 cups self-rising flour * 2 1/2 pound chicken, cut into pieces * Oil, for frying, preferably peanut oil *House Seasoning, (recipe follows) DirectionsHeat the oil to 350 degrees F in a deep pot. Do not fill the pot more than 1/2 full with oil. In a medium size bowl, beat the eggs. Add enough hot sauce so the egg mixture is bright orange (about 1 cup). Season the chicken with the House Seasoning. Dip the seasoned chicken in the egg, and then coat well in the flour. Place the chicken in the preheated oil and fry the chicken in the oil until brown and crisp. Dark meat takes longer than white meat. Approximate cooking time is 13 to 14 minutes for dark meat and 8 to 10 minutes for white meat. House Seasoning: * 1 cup salt * 1/4 cup pepper * 1/4 cup garlic powder To make the House Seasoning, mix the ingredients together and store in an air-tight container for up to 6 months.

This does sound good but I'll use Frank's Red Hot in place of Texas Pete. Just my preference between the two.

I actually prefer Frank's as well and I've tried both. Oddly enough though, the Texas Pete works better for me in this particular application.
