Preparation

Step 1

1 envelope of powdered tomato soup mix

Mix the batter

. Beat the 2 or 3 eggs in a medium-large bowl—you'll be dunking your chicken pieces in this. Add 2/3 cup milk, whisk to blend, and set aside

Mix the dry ingredients

. In a large bowl, mix the soup mix, Italian dressing, black pepper, and flour together.

. Take a piece of chicken and dip it into the batter. Then place it in the flour mixture and cover the chicken with it. Set the coated chicken aside.

! Heat the oil in a large skillet until it shimmers but doesn't smoke—about 350°F (175°C). Using tongs, carefully place the chicken pieces skin-side down into the skillet and fry them over medium heat. Leave the pieces in there for about 25 to 30 minutes, turning and flipping occasionally. Add chili peppers for a spicier flavor.

You may want to turn the heat down if the chicken gets more brown than you want.

The best kind of skillet to use is cast iron. It does a great job at distributing the heat evenly, and doesn't cool down too quickly.

Don't add the chicken until the fat is hot—otherwise you'll end up with greasy chicken.
