Ginger Crisp Chicken Recipe
Ingredients
| 2 broiler-fryers (about 2 pounds each) cut in serving-size pieces | ||
| Salt | 2 Teaspoon | |
| Rosemary | 1 Teaspoon | |
| Water | 1/2 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| 1 1/2 cups Ginger Batter, Shortening or salad oil for frying | ||
Directions
Wash chicken pieces; pat dry.
Place in a single layer in a large shallow baking pan; sprinkle with salt and rosemary; add water; cover.
Bake in moderate oven (350°) 1 hour.
While chicken cooks, prepare Ginger Batter (see right).
Remove chicken from pan; pull off skin and remove small rib bones, if you wish; drain chicken thoroughly on paper toweling.
Melt enough shortening or pour in enough salad oil to make a depth of 2 inches in a large frying pan or electric deep-fat fryer.
Heat until hot (350° in electric fryer).
Dip chicken pieces, 2 or 3 at a time, into Ginger Batter; hold over bowl to let excess drip back.
Fry in hot shortening 3 minutes, or until golden-brown.
Lift out with a slotted spoon; drain well.
Keep warm on a hot platter, covered with foil, until all pieces are cooked.
