Spicy Fried Chicken Strips

1 cup Franks Red Hot Sauce

2 eggs

Daves insanity sauce to taste (optional)

Vegetable oil

2 cups all purpose flour

3 to 5 tablespoons House seasoning

Chicken strips

note: House seasoning:*

1 cup salt (I prefer kosher)

¼ cup black pepper

¼ cup garlic powder

Mix house seasoning ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

season chicken liberally with house seasoning on both sides

preheat oil to 350 in a heavy skillet (to a level sufficient to cover chicken halfway)

mix eggs and franks (daves optional for extra heat and flavor; I use about a tablespoon; much of the actual heat will cook out) in a bowl

mix flour with ~2 tablespoons of the house seasoning mixture

dip chicken into wet mixture then dry mixture in batches

shake as much flour off strips as possible, and drop into preheated oil flipping chicken after breading is sufficiently browned

remove chicken and lay on a cooling rack or plate and paper towel, salting immediately upon removal, then allow to cool several minutes

serve with a side of spicy ranch and extra franks hot sauce for dipping
