8 cups of Flour
1 tsp Cumin
3 Tbsp Oregano
1 Tbsp White Pepper
3 Tbsp Black Pepper
1 Tbsp Cayenne Pepper
1/2 cup MSG
1/2 cup Salt
1 Tbsp Thyme
1 Tbsp Paprika
Mix well together... Store in a cool dry place... ( It tastes better if left 24 hours before using - this will make a huge batch).
Coat the chicken as you would shake 'n' bake. I cook it in the oven on 350 degrees for about 40-45 minutes. (You can also deep fry).
I add an extra tsp of black pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika and kosher salt to a marinade of buttermilk then coat the chicken in the above mix and it turns out perfect every time. If you don't like the skin or are on a diet try adding a cup of crushed cornflakes to the dipping part of the batch after removing the skin. Tastes just as great as the skin.
ReplyDeleteThe same recipe added to potato wedges cooked in the oven or deep fried makes their Mary Broown flavored wedgie potatoes too.
ReplyDeleteMary's chicken is also marinaded prior to coating. Do you know what the ingredients are?
ReplyDeleteI grew up on Mary Brown's. It is my absolute favorite! This coating is very tasty and we enjoyed it, BUT...nothing like Mary Brown's coating or flavor. Sorry. I would make it again though.
ReplyDeleteThey soak the chicken in a salt water brine
ReplyDeleteWorks really well on fish to .
