Millie Pasquinelli's Crispy Fried Chicken

Ingredients List

• 3 cups all-purpose flour

• 5 tablespoons seasoned salt

• 3 tablespoons garlic powder

• salt and pepper to taste

• 4 large eggs, beaten

• 2 (2 to 3 pound) whole chickens, cut into pieces

• 1 quart vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

1. Combine flour, seasoned salt, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Place the beaten eggs in another shallow bowl.

2. Coat the chicken pieces in the flour mixture, then set aside on a platter. Dip each piece in the egg wash before coating it again in the flour mixture.

3. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 375°F (190°C).

4. Fry the chicken for 5 minutes per side. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat, and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Uncover, increase the heat, and fry for another 5 minutes per side to crisp the chicken. The chicken is done when its juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) using an instant-read thermometer.

5. Place the fried chicken on paper towels to drain and keep warm in the oven until ready to serve.
