Deep Fried Crispy Chicken

This deep fried chicken is perfectly seasoned, crispy and super juicy. By double dredging with a well seasoned flour, followed by an egg wash, the results are nothing short of perfection. Although many people believe fried chicken is American its original origins might surprise you. "English cook Hannah Glasse had the first published fried chicken recipe in 1747. However, the earliest stories of fried chicken are thousands of years old. They come from China, the Middle East, and West Africa"

It is believed that the Scottish were the first Europeans to deep fry un battered chicken in fat (Wikipedia). Over the years chicken recipes have been changed with several different cooking methods and an assortment of herbs and spices to suit any palate.
