DEEP FRIED CHICKEN LEGS RECIPE RECIPES

The recipe that I am using here for fried chicken legs is one that I picked up near Savannah, Georgia. Fried chicken is a popular food all over the country, but it is especially popular in the south, which means that they make a lot of fried chicken that is pretty good. The trick with this recipe, though, is that we aren't deep frying it, but using a braising pan to fry it in about 2 inches of peanut oil. This means that it will take longer to cook because we have to flip them, but it is much easier than deep-frying, and we use a lot less oil.

This is the crispiest, spiciest, homemade fried chicken I have ever tasted! It is equally good served hot or cold and has been a picnic favorite in my family for years.
