Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken, divided into 8 pieces.
- One can of (12 oz.) evaporated milk.
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten.
- Season with salt to taste.
- 2 teaspoons of freshly ground black pepper.
- 2 teaspoons of garlic powder.
- 2 teaspoons of onion powder.
- 1 teaspoon spicy mustard
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour.
- 1.5 cups of vegetable oil.
- 1/2 cup chopped dill pickles
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley leaves
- 1 cup of water
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Milk Blend
In a mixing bowl, pour in the mentioned amount of evaporated milk and add the beaten egg and a cup of water into it. Mix these two items well, and you will find a thick texture of the milk blend. Now, you need to add a little salt, fresh ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dill pickle, and spicy mustard. Now whisk the mixture, and your milk blend is now ready to use.
Step 2: Make the Seasoning
It is time to make the seasoning and marinate the chicken pieces with it. To make it, you need to add salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, spicy mustard, parsley leaves, and dill pickle into a small-sized bowl. Then mix it well and pour the mixture on top of the chicken pieces. Season the chicken pieces with the mixture.
Step 3: Coat the chicken with the milk blend and flour
When you are done with seasoning the chicken, it is time to make the chicken pieces properly ready for frying. First, you need to put the chicken into the milk mixture and dip it well so that it covers all the surface of the chicken pieces. Then remove pieces from the blend and dip them into flour. Do it one by one. Now your chicken is absolutely ready to fry!
Step 4: Deep Frying in a Deep Fryer
Now it is time to fry. I recommend using a deep fryer for it. If you want to get a well-fried, juicy chicken, then it would be best to use a deep fryer. First, you need to plug in and turn the switch of the deep fryer on. Pour the required amount of oil into it and set your heat to 350'F.
Heat the oil to the temperature, and then lift the basket of the deep fryer and put all the prepared chicken pieces into it. Then you put off the lid of the fryer and wait for 15 minutes. After waiting, open the lid and lift the basket. You will find your chicken turning golden brown. Remove the chicken from the basket, and your New Orleans fried chicken is ready!
Step 5: Serve the delicious food
It is now time to serve the delectable food. Spread some chopped parsley leaves and dill pickles on it and serve it with New Orleans Remoulade sauce.
