Fried Chicken
An American classic that you can, and should, make your own.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 3 teaspoons black pepper
- 3 pounds chicken pieces (preferably with skin on)
- 3 cups vegetable oil, or similar
PREP
- Season your chicken well with salt and pepper and let it warm up to room temperature
- Mix your flour, salt, and pepper and place in large ziplock bag
- Place oil in pan and turn on medium heat
RECIPE DIRECTIONS
- Combine the milk and eggs in a large bowl and whisk together.
- Place the chicken in the milk and egg mixture and let excess drip off back into the bowl.
- Set already dipped pieces aside on a plate until you have three or four.
- Add chicken pieces to the bag of seasoned flour, a few at a time.
- Close the bag and shake to coat the chicken.
- Check to make sure your oil is at 350 degrees and begin to fry the chicken a few pieces at a time.
- Cook for about 7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Don't overcrowd the pan as you want to be sure the oil temperature does not drop much!
- With tongs or a slotted spoon, place the cooked chicken pieces onto the wire rack and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- You can keep the chicken warm in a 200 degree oven while frying the rest of the chicken.
