Tanya's Louisiana Southern Fried Chicken
Description
This Louisiana Southern fried chicken recipe uses evaporated milk in the herbed batter to make it extra moist and flavorful.
Ingredients
•
1 (3 pound) whole chicken, cut into 6 pieces
•
2 eggs, beaten
•
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
•
2 teaspoons salt
•
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
•
2 teaspoons garlic powder
•
2 teaspoons onion powder
•
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
•
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil for frying
Directions
1
Mix eggs and milk together in a medium bowl. Add almost all of the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, reserving 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 oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place flour in a plastic bag. Dip chicken pieces, one at a time, into the egg and milk mixture, then transfer to the bag. Shake to coat each piece evenly with flour.

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!
