Popeye's Famous Fried Chicken
CDKitchen https://www.cdkitchen.com
Serves/Makes: 4 | Ready In: 30-60 minutes
6 cups vegetable oil or olive oil, for frying
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons ground white pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons paprika
3 eggs
4 pounds frying chicken with skin, cut into pieces, discard backbone or use later for soup
Heat oil over medium heat in a deep fryer or in a deep cast iron skillet on the stove.
Combine the flour, salt, peppers, and paprika in a bowl.
In another bowl, break eggs and beat until well blended.
Check temperature of oil by dropping a pinch of flour mixture in pan. If the oil bubbles rapidly around the flour, it will be the right temperature.
Dip each piece of chicken into eggs; then coat generously with the flour mixture. Drop each piece into the hot oil and fry for 15 to 25 minutes or until the chicken is a dark golden brown.
Drain chicken on paper towels and serve warm.
