How to make SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN

This is the same as regular Fried chicken except there are a few secrets to making it SOUTHERN FRIED.

Things You'll Need

• deep fryer or deep large frying pan.
• Chicken
• Flour
• Milk
• eggs
• salt & pepper
• a clove of garlic
• 1 onion
• onion powder
• garlic powder

Instructions

1. Cut & clean the chicken , place it in a large bowl , shake in some salt , black epper , garic powder & onion powder & a few cups of milk , Mix it around good & let it soak in the ice box for a hour.

2. THE FRYING OIL , Now here is where the real secret is , Take the onion & cut it into 4 large pieces & take the clove of garlic & using the flat edge of a large kitchen knife & smash the the garic clove.
   Start heating your oil & put the cut onion & garlic clove in the oil. & leave it in the oil while the chicken is cooking. It wioll get black burnt looking but thats OK.
   Heat the oil to aprox 425 degrees F.

3. 

   Take a few eggs & beet them well. add a few pinches of salt ,black pepper , cajun spice , onion powder & garlic powder to the egg mixture
   Take the chicken that has been soaking in the ice box & roll it is regular flour.
   The roll it in the egg mixture & then roll the chicken in the flour again.

4. 

   Carefully drop the chicken into the hot oil with the onion & garlic.
   Fry till the chicken is golden brown on both sides. this will take aprox 15 minutes.

5. 

   When it looks nice & golden brown , remove it from the oil & place on a wire rack to drain.
   Check a few piece but cutting it open to see if it is done , if it is still bloody or real pink in the middle close to the bone , just put it back into the oil & cook it some more.

6. Right after it is taken out of the oil, I like to give it a light dusting of salt & some Cajun Spice , Not a lot , Just a little.
   Let it cool a bit & serve
