Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Chicken Marinade:

    • 6 pounds chicken pieces with bones
    • 1 cup yellow prepared mustard
    • 1 tablespoon season salt
    • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon paprika
    • 1 tablespoon black pepper
    • 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes

    For the Chicken Crust:

    • 3 cups flour
    • 2 teaspoons season salt
    • 2 teaspoons black pepper
    • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
    • 2 teaspoons paprika
    • Oil for frying

Instructions

  • Marinate the Chicken:

    • In a large bowl, combine the yellow mustard, season salt, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and dried parsley flakes.
    • Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss to coat each piece evenly with the mustard marinade.
    • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for better flavor.
  • Prepare the Chicken Crust:

    • In a shallow dish or large bowl, combine the flour, season salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
    • Mix well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
  • Coat the Chicken:

    • Remove the marinated chicken pieces from the refrigerator.
    • Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure a good coating. Shake off any excess flour.
  • Fry the Chicken:

    • Heat oil in a large skillet or deep fryer over medium heat. Ensure the oil is deep enough to submerge the chicken pieces.
    • Carefully place the coated chicken into the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.
    • Fry the chicken for about 10-15 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), and the chicken is golden brown and crispy.
    • Remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
  • Serve:

    • Serve the crispy mustard fried chicken hot, paired with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or cornbread.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a bit of hot sauce to the mustard marinade for a spicy kick.
  • Ensure the oil temperature stays around 350°F (175°C) for best results.
  • If you prefer baked chicken, you can bake the chicken at 400°F (200°C) for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
