Popeye's Famous Extra Spicy Fried Chicken - Copycat
Only available at a few places I am told.
Serves 8
Ingredients:
1 to 2 frying chicken, cut into serving pieces
6 to 8 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1/2 cup cayenne pepper
1/4 cup salt
6 cups water
1 egg
Method:
1/2 - 2/3 cup spicy crab boil powder can be used as the alternative to salt & cayenne pepper.
Mix egg, salt, and pepper (or crab boil powder) in large bowl. Add water and whisk. Slowly add
flour and keep whisking. Get the wet batter to a little less than pancake batter consistency.
Soak the chicken in the wet batter for at least 18 minutes. Get your grease up to 355 degrees F
or over 350. Place your chicken in the flour. Shake and get them out the flour and into the
grease pretty quick (do not let them sit in the flour long, it will make the crust like
concrete). Change flour if it gets too clumpy. Cook for 18 minutes.
