Hey cousins, it's your girl Rosie and today in this video we are going to make
some spicy fried chicken. Now I shared all types of fried chicken before. I even
have like a Caribbean jerk fried chicken I believe on my blog, IHeartRecipes.com,
but today is all about the spice! So in this bowl right here, I have chicken
wings. Of course, you can use whatever kind of chicken you want. I'm gonna start
off doing some hot sauce. Now depending on whatever kind of hot sauce you like,
that's what you're going to use. I like to use the Louisiana Hot Sauce. So I'm
just going to drizzle a bunch of it all over the chicken wings. Okay now this
isn't necessarily going to make the chicken spicy, although we're making
spicy fried chicken. This is just going to help the flower stick to it and it's
also going to season the chicken. Okay now if Louisiana Hot Sauce is too hot
for you, you know what you like, go ahead and get that. Okay so I'm just gonna go
ahead and coat all of my chicken wings. You wanna make sure everything's nicely
coated again because this hot sauce is what it's going to help our flour and
seasoning stick. And once everything is nicely coated, we're just going to set
this to the side. You know I am actually going to grab my flour... So the flour that
I'm going to be using today will be some self-rising flour. You can use whatever
brand you want to use. To be honest with you, I always get what is on sale. Like
when it comes to salt, pepper, flour, cornstarch, baking soda, stuff like that, I'll
get whatever is on sale because I am cheap.
I'm not married to a brand, at least not right now. So go ahead open that up. You
can use a paper bag if you want, but like I say and like y'all know already I'm
nosey. I like to see everything that's going on, so I'm going to use a plastic
freezer bag, all right. And I'm going to add this in here. And don't forget if you
want the exact measurements, head over to my blog IHeartRecipes.com. I know
someone's like "she don't use no damn measurements, she's just throwin' in there." I've
been making this for a long time so I know what I'm doing, okay?
You may not, so go to my blog IHeartRecipes.com so you can get the exact
measurements. So we got the flour in there, you can use seasoning salt if you
want to but I like to use a Creole seasoning for my spicy fried chicken. So
go ahead and get the Creole seasoning in there. I'm also going to add some garlic
powder as well. And you want to make sure everything is well seasoned, so again
make sure you go to my blog IHeartRecipes.com. And if you're watching
this video on YouTube, I will be sure to place a link down below. It's gonna be on
Facebook too, so either or, there will be a link so you can just click it and go right
to the recipe. So right now, I'm going to add in some ground black pepper. I
actually have coarse ground black pepper but if you like yours finely ground, you
can use that. I have some paprika here. I'm using plain, if you want to use
smoked paprika you can. To be honest with you, I like to use a lot of paprika with
my spicy fried chicken so it adds more color. So people automatically assume
it's going to be spicy. So if I make regular fried chicken, it's not going to
be as dark as the spicy fried chicken, if that makes any type of sense. So now I'm
going to grab some thyme. I'm using dried thyme, you can use fresh if you want.
Sprinkle that all in there. And now we're going to add some spice.
Now I'm going to use some crushed red peppers. If you want to use some cayenne
powder, that works good too. I usually use either or, and it's going to generously
add the spice on in there. So go on and you know what I should have
done? I should have preheated my oil and I'm actually going to preheat it
between 350 and 360. So 350 and 360 y'all. So we're gonna shake this bag, you want
to make sure everything is well incorporated throughout that bag. And
once it is, you are ready to start coating your chicken.
So usually, I will dig on in
using my hands, but your girl got her nails done yesterday and I'm not trying
to mess up my nails, okay? They're white, I want to keep them that way.
So I'm going to start adding my chicken in there using these. Shake off the
excess hot sauce and then make sure that is it is zipped before you start shaking
otherwise you're gonna make a mess. Just shake the bag, make sure it's nicely coated.
And this is why I like using a freezer bag, because I can see everything.
Hey, the light is green! Okay so what I'm gonna do is grab my chicken wings--again, you can
use whatever piece that you want to use. Just gonna shake off that excess flour.
I'm gonna start adding the chicken. Be sure to, you know, shake that excess flour
otherwise you're gonna have some cloudy grease and you need that in your life, okay?
Add it on in there, be careful not to get popped. I always say that and I always
get popped no matter what. And if you don't have a deep fryer, you can certainly use
a deep frying pan, okay? And that's why I'm using corn oil. If you have a
different preference, go ahead and use that.
So I'm actually fearing that I'm gonna get popped any second now, so this is
my last wing for now, just take that. And I'm going to grab the lid. So we're
gonna let it fry until it is perfection, okay? You set that over there.
And I'll be real with y'all, I can already smell the spice. so this is going to be super spicy. Now if
you're not into spice, head over to my blog, IHeartRecipes.com, I have waffle
fried chicken there, I have traditional fried chicken, and I have Southern fried
chicken... I have a lot of fried chicken, y'all so there is something for
everybody. It's on my blog.
So we're gonna go ahead remove this.
Peak on in there, shake it up. And look at that, y'all.
You see that golden... You know, I'm just gonna go ahead and dip it one more time, cause I'm dramatic.
Look at that, perfectly golden and brown.
And we still have another batch, actually. So you know what, I'm not gonna let it
hang out in the basket. I want to hurry up and make my other batch.
So we're gonna shake that excess oil out of there. If you want to put it on a wire rack,
you certainly can. I'm not going to, I don't work in a restaurant.
I want my chicken now! So we're just going to set that right there.
And we're gonna do our next batch. You can smell the spices, y'all.
So, me personally, what I would serve with this, I would love to serve my collard
greens and cabbage recipe. Y'all, I know y'all like that one so you can
make the collars and cabbage, serve it with this. Maybe with some yams or if you
don't want that, you could do something like really good season green beans and
mashed potatoes, and you're good to go.
That is all the chicken. I'm gonna go ahead place the lid on there. And once
that's done, we're gonna dig on in.
Alright so we're just gonna dig in on my last batch here. I'm just gonna add it actually
in here with the other chicken.
If you look close, you can see the peppers in there, remember we use cayenne pepper.
Like it just smells amazing, like seriously. And you know I wanna dig on in
so I'm just gonna go ahead and do that. So let me burn my fingertips and all but
it's okay, it's worth it. Am I the only person that makes a mess while eating
fried chicken? I'm looking around it, let me see.
Y'all. Nice and spicy, seasoned to perfection, but you know that's how I do!
But it's so juicy. Probably should have got some water before trying this, mm-hmm.
