Hello Jeanetta,

I do not have an authentic recipe for "Golden Bird Fried Chicken." What I have is a "tastes-like" recipe that someone sent to me. The posts and the recipe display just as they should on my laptop and on my cell phone. They are at:

07-03-2015

If these pages do not display properly on your device, it is most likely because you do not have "Auto-Rotate screen" turned on in the "Display Settings" of your Android device. If you have an Iphone, you must go into the settings and unlock "Portrait Orientation." Do this and then then go to one of my site's pages and turn your cell phone sideways. Those pages should now display properly. You have to do this because my site is produced on a laptop and is therefore formatted for display on a computer and is not formatted for a cell phone in portrait mode. If you followed a link that goes directly to a page on my site other than my front page, then you will not see these instructions until you go to the Home Page. The "copycat" recipe is below, but before you attempt to view any of the other pages on my site, you need to change those settings on your cell phone.

Golden Bird (Copycat) Fried Chicken

From: It’s So Good

4.5 lbs of chicken (or you may leave them whole if you wish)
(The video says  "4.5 lbs of chicken wings)

Coating (1 use)

1 cup all purpose flour mix with
1 tbs baking powder (or simply 1 cup of self-rising flour)
1.5 Tbs seasoning mixture (mixture ingredients below)
1+ 1/4 Cups cool water Cooking oil for deep frying (375 F)

Seasoning Mixture (10 uses, put remaining in a cool dry place):

2 Tbs paprika
5 Tbs salt (Add 6 tbs if you like a lil extra sauce)
1 Tbs garlic powder
1 Tbs onion powder
1 tsp tumeric
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp cornstarch

Clean chicken

Mix seasonings together

In a separate bowl, mix 1 c. AP Flour with 1T baking powder

Sprinkle 1.5T of seasoning. Mix into chicken well.

Add Coating mix, and 1 1/4 c cold water. Mix well until fully coated

Heat oil to 375 degrees

Deep fry for 8 minutes, 10 pieces at a time

The chicken will clump together (a good thing). Use a spoon to break chicken the last
1-2 minutes before frying is done.
