Hot and Spicy Chicken

Hot and Spicy Chicken:
1 whole frying chicken, cut up and Marinated
6-8 cups shortening
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon white pepper
3/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
3/4 teaspoon MSG
1/8 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/8 teaspoon Baking Powder


Trim any excess skin and fat from the chicken pieces. Preheat the
shortening in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees. Combine the beaten egg
and milk in a medium bowl. In another medium bowl, combine the
remaining coating ingredients When the chicken has marinated,
transfer each piece to paper towels so that excess liquid can drain
off. Working with one piece at a time, dip in egg and milk then coat
the chicken with the dry flour mixture, coated very generously. Stack
the chicken on a plate or cookie sheet until each piece has been
coated. Drop the chicken, one piece at a time into the hot
shortening. Fry half of the chicken at a time (4 pieces) for 12-15
minutes, or until it is golden brown. You should be sure to stir the
chicken around halfway through the cooking time so that each piece
cooks evenly. Remove the chicken to a rack or towels to drain for
about 5 minutes before eating.
