Directions

Step 1

In a medium size bowl mix together 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.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large skillet heat the oil over medium heat. Put the flour in a plastic bag. One piece at a time dip the chicken into the egg/milk mixture then add to the plastic bag. Shake the bag so that the flour is covering each piece of chicken.

Step 4

You can check to see if the oil is hot enough by sprinkling a little flour in the skillet. If it fries it's hot enough! Place the chicken pieces in the skillet. After about 5 minutes turn the chicken over. Let chicken fry for about 15 minutes or until the meat is cooked through and the juices run clear. Enjoy!
