Crispy fried Chicken

Crispy fried Chicken 8 pieces legs and thighs (Use what you like) Salt pepper garlic and onion powder paprika accent cayenne pepper poultry seasoning 1 beaten egg flour to coat (add a pinch of salt and pepper) Use your judgement as to how much of the spices you want, add and/or omit whatever you and your family likes. Cooking oil (Use whatever kind you like) I washed (yes I wash chicken) and seasoned the chicken then placed in a storage bag and refrigerate overnight. I also remove my chicken from the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking so it's not so cold. (Don't ask me why lol My mom did it so I do it, she used to say that putting really cold meat in hot oil shocks the meat and makes it tough) Preheat CI skillet to medium Pour the beaten egg right into the storage bag over the chicken making sure it all gets coated then add the flour into the same bag and shake well until the chicken is coated in the flour. Doing this is what gives it a flaky crust Oil should be 350 -360° Do not overcrowd the skillet Fry chicken 15-18 minutes turning several times.
