Fried Chicken

I bet you want this to be complicated. But it isn't. It's easy. Super easy. Get some chicken pieces. Whichever happen to be your favorite. Get some flour. Add some seasoning to the flour. I personally go for salt and pepper with a little smoked paprika and garlic powder.

Salt and pepper your chicken pieces. Get a shallow dish or bowl and add some milk...like a cup or so with an egg beaten into it. Salt and pepper that.

Dredge your chicken in the flour(or shake it around in a large ziplock bag), then dip it into the milk and then throw it back into the flour. *Please don't actually throw raw chicken around your kitchen.* I suppose you could if you really wanted to...I'm not the boss of you. Just make sure you do both sides.

Then put it in a baking dish to rest.

Now get a deep skillet and put about an inch of oil in it. turn it on medium high. By the time the oil reached 375F your chicken with develop this beautiful crust. Gently place four pieces chicken into the skillet and cook for about 7-10 minutes per side. That's why food thermometers a hand to have around to check for 165F that chicken likes to be cooked to.

Holy crap, you just made fried chicken! What?!
