hey we've got our chicken all cut up and
0:02
everything so we're going to get ready
0:05
and start to fry some chicken
0:08
and so we'll be back with you here just
0:11
all right what we're going to do we're
0:13
going to season this chicken and what
0:16
homemade blend of spg and and
0:20
onion powder so i guess that's spgo
0:23
and so we've got that mixed up just uh
0:26
salt pepper garlic and onion powder and
0:29
we're going to get ready and
0:30
shake that on here another thing we're
0:34
we're going to add a little bottle of
0:36
texas peat we're going to put a little
0:39
and we're just going to pour this whole
0:40
bottle on this and let this kind of
0:42
marinade for a little while
0:44
while that's setting i'll get my grease
0:46
hot and we'll come back to you and
0:49
show you what it looks like to fry up
0:50
some good old fried southern fried
0:54
all right one thing i forgot to put in
0:56
my mix here i usually use egg
0:58
and so i've got three eggs
1:02
that we've got mixed up here gonna beat
1:05
those up real good put a little bit of
1:09
and i'm gonna mix that in with my
1:15
chicken let that soak real good got my
1:19
glove on too by the way
1:22
it makes it a little better so we're
1:23
gonna get all these chicken pieces
1:32
we're gonna let those set and soak for
1:34
about 30 minutes or so
1:39
one key thing about good fried chicken
1:43
letting it sit for a little bit at room
1:44
temperature now you don't want to do it
1:46
for long periods of time but
1:49
you know 20 minutes 15 20 30 minutes is
1:52
fine because it just come out of the
1:54
refrigerator and i can
1:56
feel this it's still cold so
1:59
anyway we just want to get it good and
2:01
soaked i just want to show you too that
2:04
big lodge deep three inch skillet going
2:08
and we're gonna cook this in crisco
2:10
today that's what my mom used
2:12
that's what teresa's mom knew that's
2:14
what many other moms have used
2:17
and so that's what we're gonna use we'll
2:18
get this grease going now
2:20
you want to get this grease heated up to
2:22
about 350 degrees and try to maintain
2:26
is the best way for good southern fried
2:29
we're going to let that grease heat up
2:31
and we'll come back to you here just a
2:35
let this chicken marinate for 30 minutes
2:37
or so and then we'll start to flour it
2:38
and fry it up okay we've got our
2:42
grease heated up here our crisco
2:45
got my little instagram thermometer you
2:49
cookie thermometer would be great for
2:52
like i said you want to get up to about
2:54
350 we're about 378 degrees
2:57
which is fine i mean anywhere between
2:59
350 and 400 because once you start
3:02
um placing your chicken in the grease it
3:07
the temperature will start to drop a
3:11
we just want to start this chicken leg
3:12
in here gets it get it soaked real good
3:15
in this flour and this is just
3:17
all-purpose flour we did not season this
3:20
because we seasoned the chicken before
3:24
uh we put it in the flour
3:27
so we're just gonna drop that in there
3:30
get that other chicken leg out
3:43
get some flour on that
3:59
get another one of these bigger pieces
4:06
that's part of the breast there now
4:09
these breasts were so big a lot of these
4:11
chickens nowadays the breasts
4:13
are so big and plump and fat
4:17
that you can actually cut them in half
4:20
and be okay and that's what i did here i
4:31
you see even with those three pieces of
4:35
my thermometer is still at 363 degrees
4:59
now one thing about good fried chicken
5:01
you just don't want to crowd
5:03
you know your your pan too much
5:07
that's one thing you just you know do a
5:09
few pieces at a time a batch at a time
5:12
and uh as big as these pieces are
5:15
looks like i'm probably only going to
5:17
get about four pieces in there
5:19
and that's okay so we'll let those cook
5:25
for about six or seven minutes and
5:27
on each side of course they're
5:35
get them up to a good color just drop my
5:40
on my thermometer down to 325 degrees
5:44
but it'll start to come back up that's
5:47
why you want to go ahead and get your
5:48
grease up anywhere between 350 and 400
5:51
because as you start adding your chicken
5:54
uh you know the chicken's kind of cool
5:57
and so it will uh it will certainly drop
6:00
the temperature down on everything
6:05
while we're waiting on that to cook a
6:06
little bit i'm going to add some more of
6:09
pieces in here and get them
6:33
cooking in cast iron man there ain't no
6:36
cast iron fried chicken
6:44
these thighs in there
6:52
spg and onion powder mixed in there with
6:56
that texas peat hot sauce that's going
6:58
to have a good flavor to it
7:05
i'm going to leave these wing tips on
7:07
here my wife likes these wing tips
7:10
so as i was saying earlier you can
7:14
cut them off if you so choose but
7:18
when you fry them up they get crispy
7:21
and we got a good flavor to them
7:25
but you know as we cut the tail piece
7:27
off and the back out of this chicken
7:31
you know we saved that for chicken stock
7:35
you can also cut these wingtips off and
7:37
put that in with your stock
7:39
if you so choose some people do
8:07
good old southern fried chicken
8:12
yeah it don't get no better than that
8:19
it don't get no better than that
8:23
all right we'll get this last wing
8:49
all right we got them all breaded
8:52
and uh we'll let those cook oh
8:56
chicken legs looking good now one good
8:59
thing about using an instagram
9:02
you can always stick that in your
9:08
see what it's uh what the temperature is
9:12
we still got a little ways to go we'll
9:14
get that chicken up to about 165
9:17
well let's check this here still around
9:20
about 315 degrees on our grease
9:24
and then we'll go ahead and turn these
10:16
about 145 this case here is
10:21
there's a little way to go it's about
10:29
getting pretty close
10:37
that 150 so we'll let them cook a little
10:39
bit longer we've got some of these
10:40
pulled out i just want to show you
10:43
how golden brown that is and uh
10:46
so that's how you take and cut up a
10:50
saute it up and marinate it up in some
10:53
good old texas peat and
10:55
a couple eggs and a little bit of spgo
11:00
and frying it up in our rods
11:03
three inch chicken fryer dutch oven
11:07
and we're using crisco today and so
11:10
we've got another piece about ready to
11:12

11:14
gonna let those cook up
11:15
