Title: Favorite Fried Chicken
Categories: Poultry, Dairy, Breads
Yield: 8 servings
Oil; for frying
4 c A-P flour
Salt & fresh ground pepper
2 c Whole milk
2 lg Eggs
Two (4 lb ea) whole
- chickens; in 6 pieces each
- (breasts, wings, legs)
Pour oil into a large, deep, heavy-bottomed pot fitted
with a deep-fry thermometer to a depth of 3 inches. Set
the pot over medium-high heat to preheat while you bread
the chicken. When the oil reaches 325+|F/165+|C, regulate
the heat to maintain that temperature.
In a large bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs and
set aside. To a second large bowl, add the flour and
season generously with salt and black pepper and set
aside.
Dip the chicken pieces in the milk mixture, then dredge
in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Place the
pieces on a large platter or baking sheet and set by the
stove. Line a second large platter or baking sheet with
paper towels and set that by the stove as well.
Working in batches of 2 or 3 pieces at a time, fry the
chicken, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked
through and the breading is dark golden brown, about 15
minutes for white meat, and 20 minutes for dark meat.
Using a spider skimmer or heat-resistant tongs,
carefully transfer the cooked chicken to the lined
platter to drain while you continue cooking the rest of
the pieces. Let cool for at least 5 minutes before
serving.
