Skinless chicken reduces fat content, while thighs are often cheaper than breasts.

Season small and large chicken legs with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, lemon pepper, olive oil, and hot sauce.

Mix the seasonings thoroughly into the chicken legs.

Butterfly the large chicken legs by splitting them against the bone for even cooking.

Combine chicken fry mix and Louisiana chicken fry in a bowl.

Dip some chicken pieces in a wet batter made from the fry mix, while others will be deep-fried plain.

Carefully place chicken legs into the fryer at 350°F, avoiding overcrowding.

Fry chicken for about 12 minutes until golden brown.
