Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl combine the spices. Rub the mixture all over the chicken pieces. Cover and chill for 24 hours.

Set up two bowls – one with self rising flour and a second bowl of water combined with the milk. Dredge the chicken first in the flour, then the milk, then the flour again.

Preheat the oil in deep fryer or large Dutch oven (about 2 inches of oil if using the Dutch oven) to 350 F. Gently add the chicken and fry until golden and cooked through, about 15 minutes for white meat and 20 minutes for dark meat.
