Fried Chicken, Onion Rings and Potato Wedges with House Autry Mills Chicken Breader

House-Autry Mills is a line of traditionally-seasoned breaders and coatings for chicken, seafood, pork, and other things (like vegetables). There's also hushpuppies, and biscuit and cornbread mixes, Sauces, and their Southern Baked product line.

 All of their coatings are specially milled and mixed to cook up light, crispy, and tasty. That's one reason several of their products, such as their hushpuppy mix, are the best-selling brands in the entire country.

 

I recently tried House Autry's Chicken Breader and this breader makes wonderful fried chicken and is very simple to use.

 

Start by washing the chicken, then coat it with House Autry's Chicken Breader
 



Heat oil in frying pan and add coated chicken pieces.
I use peanut oil in a deep iron skillet. Peanut oil gives a great flavor to fried foods. Turn the pieces of chicken occasionally. 
Tip: Getting the oil at the right temperature is a big factor in cooking great fried chicken.  Wait until the oil is sizzling before adding the coated chicken to the oil, this will give it a nice crispy coating and helps to seal in the juices.  

 

Fry at a medium to medium high temperature being careful that the oil is not too hot. Turn the pieces over several times during the cooking process, being careful not to overcook or scorch. Cook the chicken until it is thoroughly done and if you have a meat thermometer, use it to test the internal temperature to ensure that it is done.
 





I used some of the House Autry's Chicken breader to make onion rings.  I started by peeling the onions then slicing, then separating them into rings. 
 



I dipped the rings in buttermilk and then coated them with the breader.

 

Then fried the onion rings in peanut oil.
 

This breader works great for making potato wedges too!
To make potato wedges, wash and scrub the potatoes well, and bake them about half way to 3/4 of the way done in the microwave.  (You can also bake them in the oven, but the microwave is much faster). Do not cook them completely done. (They will finish cooking when they are battered and fried. Cut the partially cooked potatoes into 1/4 wedges, dip in buttermilk, then in the breader and fry in the peanut oil until they are done.

Our supper was delicious and using this breader for making onion rings and potato wedges turned out great.  I recommend House Autry Mills breaders, coatings and mixes and when you try them be creative with these versatile breaders!
