Southern Fried Chicken

1/2 gallon of peanut oil (Nothing other than peanut oil)
2-3 pounds chicken breasts (bone in) and chicken legs (Completely thawed!-this is VERY important)
3 cups self-rising flour
Salt, pepper and paprika to taste (the more, the better)
4 eggs, beaten

Heat peanut oil in a deep fryer to 350°F.
Thoroughly wash chicken and pat dry with paper towel. In a large mixing bowl, mix together flour, salt, pepper and paprika. Roll and thoroughly coat each piece of chicken in flour and seasoning mix.
Dip each piece in beaten egg mixture.
Re-roll in flour and seasoning mixture once more.
Place in deep fryer for 30-40 minutes TURNING CHICKEN PIECES ONLY ONCE-Again, VERY IMPORTANT.
After 30-40 minutes you'll have a wonderful, brown and crispy skin (scald as we say down here) and the inside of the chicken will be moist and tender.
Serves: 6, unless Y'all are really famished!

Southern Fried Chicken Recipe

4 pounds chicken pieces
1 1/2 cups milk
2 large eggs
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons salt
2 teaspoons pepper
3 cups vegetable oil
salt

Rinse chicken; pat dry and then set aside.
Combine milk and eggs in a bowl; whisk to blend well.

In a large heavy-duty resealable plastic food storage bag, combine the flour, salt, and pepper.

Dip a chicken piece in the milk mixture; let excess drip off into bowl.

Put a few chicken pieces in the food storage bag and shake lightly to coat thoroughly. Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining chicken pieces.
Heat oil to 350°. Fry chicken, a few pieces at a time, for about 10 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Chicken breasts will take a little less time than other pieces. Pierce with a fork to see if juices run clear to check for doneness. With a slotted spoon, move to paper towels to drain; sprinkle with salt.
