Fried Chicken Anyone?

[Free Mr. Tony]

Could this work, in theory, by taking the skillet and placing it on top of the Blackstone so I could pop grease outside instead of in the kitchen? Imagine that you couldn't do it simply on the Blackstone since the oil coverage wouldn't be enough but that chicken looks amazing and would be even better if it could be done outside on a sunny day.

As long as you can maintain oil temp, it would definitely work. If the burner is strong enough for recovery after the Chicken goes in the oil, then you should be golden. If it takes too long to recover, then you may want to find an alternate method as you will have greasy chicken.

For the last year or so, we've been using Lefty's Seasoning, which I learned about from another Brethren here in Qtalk. This stuff is like crack.

The Missus marinates the chicken first with a bit of water and some Lefty's for about one hour. Then, she puts the chicken in a ziplock bag with some more lefty's and gets the chicken coated, then removes the chicken and lets it sit out for 10 mins. Then, back in the bag to get a second coating, then out of the bag again, for an additional 10 mins, then into a hot cast iron skillet with enough oil to cover 50-60% of the chicken when the oil reaches 300 degrees. Once the chicken is in the oil, you'll want to turn the heat up as the chicken will cause the oil temp to drop. Fry the chicken in batches(start with dark meat first) so you don't overcrowd the skillet.

Recipe? Last time I tried all my breading fell off

Double dredging works pretty good to keep the breading on. Powder the meat first in flour (with some corn starch added). Then dip in batter. The let the batter drip off, repowder in the flour, then dip in the batter again. I did some chicken fried catfish and eggplant this way and it comes out good. Make sure the meat is not wet before you start the process so the steam doesnt make the coating unstick.
