Ingredients

• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1 (3- to 3-1/2-pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine milk and egg; mix well. Add chicken, coating completely. In another large bowl, combine flour, salt, and pepper; mix well. Remove chicken from milk mixture then place in flour mixture, coating completely. In a large deep skillet, heat oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Carefully place chicken in oil and cook 20 to 22 minutes, or until coating is brown and chicken is no longer pink. Drain on a paper towel-lined platter. Serve immediately.
