BBQ Fried Chicken

BBQ Fried Chicken - My family loves this dish.

Ingredients:

·2 cups of all purpose flour

·3 cloves garlic, minced

·2 teaspoons butter

·1 cup of vegetable oil

·1 cup Heinz ketchup (a must for us)

·1/4 cup packed brown sugar

·¼ teaspoon of liquid smoke

·1/4 cup chili sauce (Heinz is a good one)

·1/2-3/4 tablespoon celery seed

·1 tablespoon prepared mustard

·1/2 teaspoon salt

·½ teaspoon cinnamon

·2 dashes hot pepper sauce

·8 large chicken thighs s, bone-in with skin (a large family pack will usually have about 7-8 thighs

Directions

 

Pour vegetable oil in frying pan at a medium temperature.  Prepare a light coating of seasoned flour--or a roll in breadcrumbs or crushed saltines.  To get truly golden-brown and crispy chicken, use a cast iron skillet. You can't beat cast iron for even heat distribution and reliable frying. The fat should be about one inch deep in the skillet, coming about halfway up the food. Get the oil hot before adding the chicken: about 350 degrees F.

In a saucepan, sauté the garlic in butter until tender.

Add the next 8 ingredients.

Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.

Remove from the heat and set aside.

Add Fried chicken, covered over medium heat for 30 minutes, turning occasionally.Remove to large loaf pan and Baste with sauce.

Continue basting and turning during the last 15 minutes of cooking.

Serve with any extra sauce you set aside for dipping

Enjoy!!!
