INGREDIENTS

  • Chicken

    • 🍗 1 (3 pound) whole chicken, cut into 6 pieces

  • Batter

    • 🥚 2 eggs, beaten
    • 🥛 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk

  • Seasoning

    • 🧂 2 teaspoons salt
    • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
    • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
    • 2 teaspoons onion powder

  • Coating

    • 🌾 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • Frying

    • 1 ½ cups vegetable oil for frying

STEPS

1

In a medium-sized bowl, mix the eggs and milk. Add almost all of the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder (reserve a dash of each for seasoning the chicken pieces). Set aside.

2

Sprinkle a dash of the remaining salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder onto both sides of the chicken pieces.

3

Heat the oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Place the flour into a plastic bag. One piece at a time, dip the chicken into the egg and milk mixture, then place into the bag with flour and shake until the chicken is evenly coated.

4

Check the oil temperature by sprinkling a little flour in the skillet. If it fries, the oil is ready. Place the chicken pieces in the skillet and fry for 5 minutes before flipping each piece.

5

Continue frying for about 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. Carefully remove the chicken and set aside to drain any excess oil.

💡 To ensure even cooking, avoid overcrowding the skillet.For an extra crispy texture, double-dip the chicken in the batter and flour before frying.For a healthier option, try using an air fryer instead of deep frying.
