The Worlds Best Fried Chicken

Back in the days of the old south a chicken was chosen and killed for Sunday dinner. Today you can go to the grocery store and buy your chicken already cleaned and ready to cook. However if you ever get the opportunity to eat free range chicken by all means give it a try because it really does have the best flavor of any chicken. Now here's the recipe for the Worlds Best Fried Chicken.

You will want to start off with a fryer already cut up or chicken leg quarters. You want your chicken to be cool when breaded so wait to the last possible minute before taking it out of the refrigerator.

You will want a good size bowl where you have placed a quart of milk and then beaten four large eggs into the milk. You want your milk and eggs mixed together very well.

Now you want to make your breading.And for your breading your going to need.

4 Cups Self Rising Flour

1 Tablespoon Black Pepper

1 Tablespoon Salt

1 Teaspoon Ground Cayenne Pepper

1 Teaspoon Ground Sage

1 Teaspoon Fine Parsley Flakes

Mix all your dry ingredients in a large bowl making sure they are very well mixed.

Now take your chicken a couple of pieces at a time and place it into the milk/egg mixture. Now remove from the milk/egg mixture and place into your dry breading you mixed and shake bowl to make sure your chicken is well coated. Now it goes back into the milk/egg mixture and now back into the dry breading again. Be sure that each piece of chicken gets double breaded. After each piece of chicken is double breaded place it on a large tray or plate. When you have all your chicken double breaded cover your chicken with plastic wrap and place into the refrigerator for a minimum of 6 hours.

After the chicken has been breaded and has been in the refrigerator for a minimum of 6 hours now your chicken is ready to be fried. If you have a home deep fryer you want your oil at 350 degrees and you will want to fry each piece of chicken a minimum of 15 - 18 minutes. Do not over crowd your chicken in the deep fryer. When your done frying your chicken cut into one of the largest pieces to make sure your chicken is well done. When your chicken is done remove from deep fryer and drain in a pan lined with paper towels.

This will truly be some of the best fried chicken you will ever eat. Be sure to take the time to double bread each piece of chicken. And remember safety and sanitation anytime you deal with chicken. Be sure to avoid cross contamination. And remember to clean any and all surfaces where raw chicken may have dripped with bleach water.
