DIRECTIONS

Place LouAna Southern Fry Oil in a large fryer, Dutch oven, or another thick-walled iron cooking pot with a tight-fitting lid; heat to 350°F.

Combine buttermilk and eggs in a shallow dish, stirring well.

SAFETY FIRST

There are two options when frying chicken. You can take the traditional approach and use propane fryers. They should be used outdoors in accordance with the manufacturer’s safety procedures. Never use them on a wooden deck or leave them unattended. The second option is to use a Masterbuilt® Electric Deep Fryer that can be used indoors on kitchen countertops, tables, inside garages, and on covered patios. Be sure to always keep children and pets away. But either way you choose, always remember:
• Wear oven mitts.
• Avoid use of alcohol and keep a fire extinguisher nearby, as you would with any type of cooking.
