Tools
Directions
- Heat enough oil to 350ºF in an electric skillet or fryer to cover the chicken pieces.
- Cut the chicken breasts in half or strips. I cut mine in half in the pictures, but strips also work well. Generously salt and pepper the chicken. If using legs just salt and pepper them.
- Mix the eggs and milk beverage in a bowl, and place the flour in a separate bowl.
- Dip the chicken in the flour, then dip it in the egg mixture and then back in the flour to evenly coat each piece. Place the coated pieces on a sheet pan as you work and while you wait for the oil to come to temperature.
- Place chicken pieces in the hot oil and cook until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 170°F on an instant read thermometer (your best friend while cooking meat). Flipping halfway through. It took about 25 minutes for a half chicken breast. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and place it on a paper towel lined platter. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
