Ingredients
Scale
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/4 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 whole chicken, cut up into parts or 8 pieces of your favorite parts
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 25 cracks black pepper divided
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 2 cups ground Chedz cheese cracker crumbs about 4 oz of crackers
- peanut oil, for frying
Instructions
- Heat oil to 350°F in a deep fryer, heavy bottomed skillet, or dutch oven with at least 3 inches of oil up the sides of the pan. Do not overfill the pan.
- Whisk eggs, water, and buffalo sauce together in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Season chicken on all sides with kosher salt, 5 cracks of pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix the Chedz cheese cracker crumbs and the remaining black pepper together. Set aside.
- When the oil is heated, dip each chicken piece in the egg mixture. Let excess egg drip off, then press chicken into the Chedz crumbs and coat on all sides. Shake off any excess.
- Slowly and carefully lower chicken into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd; work in batches. Dark meat takes 13 to 14 minutes, white meat takes 8 to 10 minutes. Internal temperature should reach 165°F. Drain on a wire rack and sprinkle with kosher salt. Serve warm.
