We don't have this meal often but when we make it I like to also make old fashion dressing also known as stuffing, and gravy. If you are going to have a comfort food day you may as well go all out, sometimes I like to make extra to have some leftovers.

Removing the skin from the chicken first before dipping it in the batter will also cut back on the amount of oil in this meal.

2. In the same oil you fried the chicken start frying your chips, placing two or three hand fills into the fryer until golden brown.

4. You can serve them after they are fried or place on a cookie sheet and put in the oven until ready to serve.

Please note " never fry on your stove top" always use a approved deep fryer that got a lid and heat control.

Making homemade chicken and chips is so easy to do, most of the work is cutting up the chicken. I know everyone thinks that this is a oily meal but when you make anything yourself you control the oil and the amount you need to cook.

Thats the best part about making your own food, you have the power to control how you make it.

Also when making the batter you can have more of one seasoning and less of another, but you need the egg to help make a crispy crust. You can keep a little bit of the dry ingredients out before you mix it all together to roll the chicken in before you dip it in the batter. This also helps the crust to say on the chicken and not fall into the oil and stay at the bottom of the fryer.

Have your chicken parts cooked first makes for less time in the fryer and that’s another way to cut down on the amount of oil going into your chicken.

This deep fried chicken is so crispy and juicy, don’t take my word for it you diffently got to make it for yourself.

Also to save on cost buy a full chicken and cut into pieces it’s more affordable then buying the chicken parts. These are little tidbit of information you can keep in mind when planning this meal.

Enjoy this old fashion deep fried chicken meal and if you decide to make it you can substitute white potatoes for sweet potatoe fry’s.

Sometimes I like to make coleslaw to have with this delicious meal and you can get a recipe on my site called Traditional Newfoundland Cold Plates, I have a recipe there for coleslaw.
