Homestyle Fried Chicken

3 cups all purpose flour

3 whole large eggs

1/2 cup half n half or milk or buttermilk

1 whole chicken cut into pieces or 5 breasts cut in half

2 tbs season salt or season meat tenderizer

1 tbs poultry seasoning

2 tsp ground black pepper

1 tbs garlic powder

1 tbs onion powder

1/2-1 tsp salt

1 tbs paprika

2 cups peanut, corn or vegetable oil for frying

1 deep frying pan or skillet

Mix eggs, milk or half n half until well combined in a wide or deep bowl

Mix flour and all seasonings until well combined in separate bowl

Dip chicken in flour mixture then into egg mixture and back into flour, set aside on plate and continue until all chicken pieces are coated

Set chicken aside, add oil to skillet and heat on medium to med-high until bubbly when u drop a pinch of flour in oil

Add chicken in oil slowly, cooking only 3-5 pieces at a time

Cook on first side for about 5-7 minutes to set crust then flip carefully

Keep cooking and flipping every so often until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear when poked with fork or knife

Take out and place on cookie sheet and put in warm oven while cooking the rest so that it doesn t get cold before serving

Each time a batch of chicken is done add to oven on pan until all chicken pieces are done

I like to serve this with veggies like green beans or broccoli, mashed taters and homemade gravy that I make from some of the pan drippings and some of the seasoned flour that s left from dipping the chicken and I add some milk and chicken flavored bouillon cubes to it…

All the measurements may not be exactly right in this recipe. I m kinda just guessing bc Mom never measured anything and I usually don t either. Feel free to tweak the spices to your taste… I hope you try, post and enjoy! Thanks! :)
