This is my Mother’s chicken and it is killer * Wash your chicken under cool running water and place in a large bowl * in a separate mixing bowl, mix using a wire whisk, 4 eggs, 1 quart of buttermilk, juice from 3 large lemons and your favorite seasonings * allow mixture to marinate in the fridge for at least 6 hours, overnight is better * remove from fridge at least 1 hour before cooking and stir mixture several times to help warm * now, using a large, heavy pot, pour in enough corn oil to reach the halfway point in the pot * using a cooking thermometer, heat oil to 350 degrees * as oil heats, put 3 plastic grocery bags into one another making a 3 ply bag * empty 2 boxes of Zatarains Fry Batter Mix into bag and an equal amount of flour, mix these together * add some salt, pepper, garlic salt/powder and celery salt, mix * place several pieces of chicken(about 4) into bag but be care to not overload the cooker because the oil temperature will drop too much and the chicken will be very greasy ( it is better to fry several smaller batches than fewer large batches) * cook chicken until it floats and is golden brown * remove from oil and place on mesh screen or paper towels to drain * dust lightly with salt and pepper and enjoy * this goes great with some red rice, corn, peas, sliced tomatoes and a cool beverage * give this one a try and have a happy and safe
