Fried Chicken

Old Bay Fried Chicken

My husband really LOVES Fried Chicken and Potato salad
He grew up eating them as well as crab cakes and shrimp salad

Both of his parents have passed now
Luckily Dad showed me how to make his wonderful shrimp salad
But we had to put our heads together to come up with recipes for
Fried Chicken and Potato Salad
It is really good fried chicken, but I think what we enjoy most about it...
is that we made it together as a team

I hope you enjoy it as much as we do

2 pounds Chicken Parts of your choice
(We use chicken breasts and thighs)
Peanut oil

DREDGE:
Toss chicken in seasoned flour mixture

then dip into batter

allowing batter to drain off really well

then back into seasoned flour
