Kentucky-Style Fried Chicken

By cnash

Ingredients

• 1 medium whole chickens, cut into serving pieces
• 1 1/2 cups flour, sifted
• 1 teaspoon salt ( to taste)
• pepper, to taste
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 eggs
• 1 cup milk ( or more as needed for a smooth batter)
• fat or oil, for frying

Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Steam or poach chicken until tender (I like to poach it in chicken stock); dry and keep cool until time to fry (it is convenient to do thes the day before if a large quantity is needed).

Just before frying, make a batter of the remaining ingredients.

Preheat fat or oil to 380°F.

Dip each piece of steamed chicken in batter and fry until a beautiful golden brown.
