What Chicken is best when Frying chicken.
This will depend on your preference. When frying chicken I prefer the drumsticks, just because I find them the easiest. You can also fry thighs, breast, or leg quarters. However, I find frying chicken leg quarters to be the most challenging due to their size. They take a lot long to cook and take up alot of room in the skillet, unless you break them in half.
Equipment:
- Skillet
- Mixing Bowls
- Meat thermometer
Ingredients:
- One pack chicken leg
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 4 eggs (beaten)
- 1 cup milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- Vegetable Oil for frying ((You will need to fill a skillet half full of Vegetale oil) (this was 2 cups of oil for me))
Instructions:
- Place a skillet over medium- high heat, Filling a skillet with about 2 cups of vegetable oil. (Skillet needs to be half full of vegetable oil.)
- In one mixing bowl add 2 ½ cups of flour, salt and pepper. In second mixing bowl add beaten eggs and milk together.
- Using a paper towel pat dry chicken lets. First dip chicken let into milk mixture, then dip into flour mixture.
- Shake off any excessive flour and carefully place chicken leg into skillet. Let chicken fry for 7-8 minutes, turn chicken over and fry 7-8 minutes. Chicken is done when internal temperature 165 °F. If chicken is golden brown, but internal temperature has not yet reached 165 °F turn heat down to low and continue to cook chicken until internal temperature reaches 165 °F
Storing Fried Chicken:
You can store leftover chicken in the fridge for up to four days. Reheat Chicken in the microwave.
