Creole Fried Chicken
Creole Fried Chicken is a delicious Southern dish with a spicy twist. It's typically seasoned with a blend of Creole spices, such as paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic, and onion powder, which gives it a flavorful kick. The chicken is usually dredged in a seasoned flour mixture and then fried until crispy and golden brown.
Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken (a mix of drumsticks and thighs)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Creole seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for spiciness)
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together the flour, Creole seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
- Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels.

- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place the chicken pieces in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the chicken in batches if needed.
