Paula Deen's Southern Fried Chicken

Ingredients
Paula Deen’s House Seasoning (you can really use about any seasoning)
2 1/2 lb chicken, cut into pieces
2 cup self-rising flour
1 cup hot red pepper sauce
3 eggs

Directions
Heat 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.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 14 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Yield: 6-8 servings

You dont know what the south is about until you have had some fried chicken!
