Dixie Fried Chicken Recipes

DIXIE FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• 1. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Combine flour and red pepper; set aside. Combine egg and milk; dip chicken in egg mixture and dredge in flour mixture, coating chicken well.
• 2. Pour oil to a depth of 1 inch in a 10 inch to 12 inch skillet; (I only fry chicken in cast iron) heat oil to 350 degrees. Fry chicken in hot oil over medium heat 15 to 20 minutes or until golden, turning occasionally. Remove small pieces earlier, if necessary, to prevent overbrowning.
• 3. Drain chicken on paper towels. Serves 4

OVEN-FRIED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450° F. Place 1-1/2 cups Dixie Fry Mix in shallow baking dish. Beat egg and buttermilk together in bowl. Whisk remaining 1/2 cup Dixie Fry Mix into buttermilk mixture.
• Working one at a time, dredge each onion ring in Dixie Fry Mix, shaking off excess. Dip rings in buttermilk mixture, allowing excess to drip back into bowl, then drop into Dixie Fry Mix, turning rings to coat evenly. Transfer coated rings to large plate or tray.
• Pour 3 tbsp oil onto rimmed baking sheet. Place baking sheets in oven and heat until just smoking, about 8 minutes. Carefully tilt heated sheets to coat evenly with oil, then arrange onion rings on sheets. Baking, flipping onion rings and switching and rotating position of baking sheets halfway through baking, until golden brown on both sides, about 15 minutes.

• Pour enough corn oil into electric skillet to come only 1/4 up the sides of skillet.
• Set heat at 375-400.
• Have electric skillet pre-heated before you begin to coat chicken.
• Pour out 1 packet of Dixie Fry onto flat dish or pan.
• Have another large flat pan ready to hold the just-coated chicken in.
• Dredge the wet/marinated chicken in Dixie Fry, making sure the chicken is fully covered with coating, place in empty pan.
• Shake off excess.
• Once all chicken is coated, place all pieces of chicken in 400-420 electric skillet.
• Make sure to keep the lid on while chicken fries, as this will seal in the flavors and juices.
• Cook approximately 15-20 minutes on each side.
• I like to use tongs to turn chicken.
• Chicken should be golden brown when done.
• Drain/cool on paper towels for at least 5 minutes.
