What you need:
- 1 to 2 ½ pounds chicken, cut into pieces
Marinade:
- 8 cups Tree Top Apple Juice
Batter:
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup water
- Hot red pepper sauce (to taste)
Seasoning:
- 1 cup salt

- 1 teaspoon pepper
- Optional-add corn flake crumbs
Peanut oil for frying
Directions:
- Soak chicken in Tree Top Apple Juice overnight in refrigerator.
- In a medium size bowl, beat the eggs with the water. Add hot sauce to taste, so the egg mixture is orange.
- In another bowl, combine the flour and pepper.
- Season the chicken with salt, black pepper and garlic powder mixture. Dip the seasoned chicken in the batter and then coat well in the flour mixture.
- Heat the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit in a deep pot. Do not fill the pot more than ½ full with oil.
