Chipotle Flavored Fried Chicken - Home Style
I am old enough to remember when fried chicken wings were not a "thing" and they didn't cost extra if you ordered some for dinner.  Somehow football, hot wings, and pizza drove the prices up so if you want to specify wings on the menu, there will be an upcharge.  As an adult, when I cooked for my family, I typically used to bake, broil and boil.  There was always the occasional barbeque of course but not on a regular basis.

In addition to fried foods not being very healthy for us, there is also the time and attention factor.  When I worked everyday for a living, my goal was to prepare a healthy meal for my family that would be ready in thirty minutes to an hour.  I never fried chicken.  As a matter of fact, one of my friends told me that I was the only black woman that she knew that could not fry a chicken.  I tried to unsuccessfully several times.  I just could not get the temperature of the oil right to cook the chicken and not burn it on the outside while it was still raw on the inside.  

I finally bought one of those deep fryer timer gadgets that took the guess work out of the equation.  Well, I don't have that gadget here with me at this location, so I had to go old school and hope for the best.

I wanted chipotle flavored fried chicken for dinner so I  cooked it myself.  I always wash my chicken and pat it dry with paper towels before I season it.  I put the chicken in a bowl and tossed the wings with garlic powder, chipotle powder, a little salt and some smoked paprika.

After seasoning the chicken, I tossed it in some flour and placed it on some parchment paper until the oil was hot.  I don't like thick batter on my chicken, so I didn't dip it in anything first.    I cooked three wings at a time so that I could see when they started to float.  That was usually after 14 -15 minutes.

The chicken looks dark  because of the red spices, but it is not burnt.  It turned out well.  It is not as pretty as restaurant quality, but it is spicy and low salt.  I can't eat fried foods on a regular basis, but it is a nice treat every now and then.



Bon Appetit!
