Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 20 mins Ready Time: 30 mins


• in a medium size bowl mix together the eggs and milk. add almost all of the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder (reserve a dash of each for seasoning the chicken pieces). set aside.
• sprinkle a dash of the remaining salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder both sides of the chicken pieces.
• in a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. put the flour in a plastic bag. one piece at a time, dip the chicken into the egg/milk mixture then add to the plastic bag. shake the bag so that the flour is covering each piece of chicken.
• you can check to see if the oil is hot enough by sprinkling a little flour in the skillet. if it fries, it's hot enough! place the chicken pieces in the skillet. after about 5 minutes, turn the chicken over. let chicken fry for about 15 minutes or until the meat is cooked through and the juices run clear. enjoy!
