BAJAN FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Add chicken, then reduce heat, cover and simmer until chicken is tender, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Prepare Seasoning Mix.
• Drain chicken and pat it dry.
• Cool completely, then cut into 8 serving pieces.
• Cut a long, deep pocket in meaty part of each piece, filling each pocket with about 2 tablespoons of Seasoning Mix.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large skillet to 375F (190C) or until a 1-inch bread cube turns golden brown in 50 seconds.
• On a large plate, combine flour, salt and pepper; coat chicken pieces, shaking off any excess flour.
• Dip pieces into beaten eggs, then roll them in bread crumbs to coat thoroughly.
• Fry in batches (without crowding) until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
• Drain on paper towels.
• Seasoning Mix:.
• Peel and coarsely chop onions.
• Place them with remaining ingredients in a blender or food processor fitted with the steel blade.
• Process 1 to 2 minutes, until fairly smooth. (This mixture can be spooned into a jar and refrigerated several weeks for use as needed.).
