Trim any excess skin and fat from the chicken
pieces.
Preheat the shortening in a deep-fryer to 350
degrees.
Combine the beaten egg and milk in a medium
bowl.
In another medium bowl, combine the remaining
coating ingredients When the chicken has marinated, transfer each piece to
paper towels so that excess liquid can drain off.
Working with one piece at a time, dip in egg and
milk then coat the chicken with the dry flour mixture, coated very
generously.
Stack the chicken on a plate or cookie sheet
until each piece has been coated.
Drop the chicken, one piece at a time into the
hot shortening.
Fry half of the chicken at a time (4 pieces) for
12-15 minutes, or until it is golden brown.
You should be sure to stir the chicken around
halfway through the cooking time so that each piece cooks evenly.
Remove the chicken to a rack or towels to drain
for about 5 minutes before eating. |
