Prize-Winning Garlic-Ginger Fried Chicken

This recipe won me $150 in the Wesson Oil "Wait Till You Taste My Fried
Chicken" Recipe Contest.

3-1/2 pounds chicken, cut into 8 servings
1 egg
3 scallions, cut into small pieces, both white and green parts
3 quarter-sized slices fresh ginger root
6 cloves garlic, peeled
1/4 cup flour
4 tablespoons dry sherry
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
5 drops red pepper sauce, such as Tabasco
Wesson oil for frying, about 6" deep (heated to 350 F)

Rinse chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Combine remaining ingredients
(except oil) in blender or food processor, and blend till smooth and
thick. Transfer to large, shallow bowl. Dip chicken pieces, one at a
time, into batter, coating completely and shaking off excess. Deep fry
two to three pieces at a time in hot oil till done, 7 to 10 min. on
average, depending on size. Take time between batches to allow the oil to
come back to 350 F.

Serves 4.
