made at a grist mill close to where my Daddy was born and raised....
I took a cup and a half of the breader, placed it in a gallon zip lock baggie,
added a tablespoon of crushed sea salt and a tablespoon of Mike Mills Magic Dust....recipe as follows....
1/2 cup paprika
1/4 cup kosher salt, finely ground
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons mustard powder
1/4 cup chili powder
1/4 cup ground cumin
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
1/4 cup granulated garlic
2 tablespoons cayenne
mixed it well into the breader then coated the chicken pieces two at a time by placing them into the baggie, zipping it closed and shaking the bejezus out of it, then using tongs I grasped the pieces while still in the baggie, shook off the excess breader and placed into a bowl for transport outside...
I cooked the chicken somewhere around 350*f for forty five minutes and checked them with my thermapen heat probe, cooking them to 170*f internal.....
chicken close to done.....
