This recipe is a family favorite, passed down from our American Grandma’s old recipe collection. So get your apron on and let’s start cooking up some delicious fried chicken!
Ingredients
– 3 pounds chicken, cut into pieces
– 2 eggs
– 1 cup milk
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon seasoned salt (optional)
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 cups canola or peanut oil
Instructions
1. Rinse the chicken pieces with cold water and pat dry with paper towels to ensure they are clean and ready for frying.
2. In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs with the milk and stir in the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Soak the chicken pieces in this milk mixture for 5 to 10 minutes to help tenderize the meat.
3. In a large zip-top plastic bag, combine the flour and seasoned salt (if using). Add the chicken pieces, a few at a time, and shake to coat them completely in the flour mixture.
4. Shake off any excess flour and set the coated chicken aside on a rack to dry while you heat up the oil.
5. Pour the canola or peanut oil into a deep skillet or deep fryer and heat it to 350 degrees F. It’s important to maintain the right temperature for crispy fried chicken.
6. Carefully add the chicken thighs and legs to the hot oil and cook for several minutes until they are nicely browned.
7. Continue adding the rest of the chicken pieces, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Turn the pieces once to ensure even cooking and fry until they are golden brown and cooked through.
8. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oil and drain on paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
9. Serve the Extra Crispy Fried Chicken warm or at room temperature for a truly delicious meal.
Notes
– You can customize the seasonings in this recipe to suit your taste preferences. Feel free to add herbs and spices to the flour mixture for a unique flavor.
– Be careful when frying the chicken to avoid any oil splatters. Ensure the pieces are cooked through by piercing them with a fork to check for clear juices.
– Leftover fried chicken can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven for a crispy finish.
– This recipe is perfect for a family dinner or a weekend gathering with friends. It’s sure to be a hit with everyone.
