      Title: Popeyes Famous Fried Chicken Recipe
 Categories: Poultry, Herbs, Chilies
      Yield: 8 Pieces
 
      6 c  Oil
    2/3 c  A-P flour
      1 tb Salt
      2 tb White pepper
      1 ts Cayenne pepper
      2 ts Paprika
      3 lg Eggs
  3 1/2 lb Frying chicken w/skin;
           - cut-up (2 breasts, 2 legs,
           - 2 thighs, 2 wings)
 
  Heat oil over medium heat in a deep fryer or in a deep
  cast-iron skillet on the stove. Combine the flour, salt,
  peppers, and paprika in a bowl. In another bowl, break
  eggs and beat until well-blended. Check temperature of
  oil by dropping a pinch of flour mixture in pan. If the
  oil bubbles rapidly around the flour, it will be the
  right temperature. Dip each piece of chicken into eggs;
  then coat generously with the flour mixture. Drop each
  piece into the hot oil and fry for 15 to 25 minutes or
  until the chicken is a dark golden brown. Drain chicken
  on paper towels and serve warm.
  
  Makes 8 pieces.
  
  UDD NOTES: This recipe is *much* closer to the real
  deal than the late Gloria Pitzer's "recipe detective"
  version. When I make it I make the cayenne and paprika
  equal (1 1/2 ts ea). I also eschew the white meat
  parts in favour of legs and thighs.
  
  Serves 2 normal people
