How to Make Ashley S And Jojo S Fried Chicken

1. Peel and roughly chop 1 large onion and 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary.
2. In a large bowl or container, whisk together the chopped onion, rosemary, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and one (24 ounce) bottle of Italian dressing.
3. Add 2-3 pounds of bone-in chicken pieces (legs, thighs, or breasts) to the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
4. Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Place in a clean bowl.
5. Season chicken generously with 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, and 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning.
6. Toss the chicken to ensure even coating, rubbing the spices into the skin.
7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce.
8. Add 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, and 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning to a large zip-top bag. Seal and shake well to combine.
9. Dip each chicken piece in the egg mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
10. Heat about 3 inches of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C).
11. Carefully place chicken pieces in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry in batches if necessary.
12. Deep fry the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (approximately 15-20 minutes per batch, depending on size and thickness).
13. Remove chicken from oil and place on a wire rack set over a baking sheet or lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
14. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
