Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/3 cup hot sauce
- 4 6 oz cod fillets cut into nuggets
- 1/3 cup self-rising flour
- 1/3 cup hot chips crushed
- 1/2 Tbsp Mrs. Dash
- 1/2 Tbsp Old Bay
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1 tsp lemon pepper
- 1 tsp turmeric
- Canola oil for frying
Instructions
-
Whisk the egg, hot sauce, and milk in a medium bowl; add the cod and set aside to soak for 30 minutes.
-
Mix the flour, cracker meal, cayenne pepper and a pinch of salt on a plate.
-
Heat 1 inch of oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until you can take a pinch of your dry dredge and test whether it fries when you drop it into the oil.
-
Remove the fish from the milk mixture and dredge in the flour mixture, turning to coat. Fry in the hot oil until golden, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
-
Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain; season with salt and pepper.
