How to Make Dixie Fry Original Recipe Coating Mix Copycat

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using).
  2. Gradually add the cold water, whisking constantly until a smooth batter forms. Do not overmix.
  3. If desired, add the optional herbs and spices to enhance the flavor profile.
  4. Dip your chosen protein (chicken, fish, vegetables) into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
  5. Gently shake off any excess batter.
  6. Heat your cooking oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Carefully place the battered items into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  8. Fry for approximately 6-8 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  9. Remove the fried food from the oil and place it on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious homemade Dixie Fry-style coated food!
