Looking for hate-free fried chicken recipes.

[Le Taz Hot]

15. Here's the one I use.

I have to repeat the importance of using cast iron -- it makes ALL the difference.

I use Canola Oil as a healthier substitute for lard. I'd like to think it's healthier but you're still frying food which is not.

Prepare one bowl with about 3 eggs and pour in about 6 oz. of Louisiana Hot Sauce and mix well.

In another bowl, mix together flour and Paula Deen's house seasoning (4 parts salt, 1 part garlic powder, 1 part pepper).

Dredge chicken in egg mixture, then flower mixture. Fry in hot oil for about 12-15 minutes.

Place on cooling racks so excess oil will drain off and let cool for a few minutes.

My husband the Southerner swear by this recipe. Says it's better the KFC.
