I have figured out how to cook the best fried chicken. Or at least that's what my family says. My kids are constantly asking me for this. It makes me so happy that they love it so much. My 3 year old will also usually eat this.
OK. First thing you need is to make the rub.
2 tablespoons Paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
and sometimes a few pinches of Cayenne
Mix the spices together and rub on your chicken of choice. Chill for at least an hour.
Now the only way to have fried chicken is the crispy way so make sure you leave them skins on. Take about 2 cups of flour and the same spice mix as before and mix it together. Scramble about 3 eggs and about 1/4 cup milk together.
Dip your chicken in the flour, shake excess off then dip in the egg, dip back in the flour till covered. Repeat with the rest of your chicken.
Deep fry at 350 for about 10 minutes. depending on the type of chicken you are cooking. Might want to look up cooking times. Also depending on how big your deep fryer is you may need to do this in batches. I usually fry 2 at a time. My drum sticks cook for 10 minutes, then I put them on a cooling rack on top of a cookie sheet and put in the oven at 250 to stay nice and warm and crispy until ready to eat.
I serve this with mashed potatoes and gravy and veggies.
I hope you enjoy my families favorite. Happy cooking.
