Mom's Fried Chicken
Mom's Fried Chicken is crispy, delicious and golden brown. Make a batch for your family and they are sure to ask for more.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 12 pieces chicken
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Begin to heat 1/4 inch of canola oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Put the flour and the bread crumbs in a gallon size plastic bag and shake to mix.
- Crack the eggs onto a shallow plate and whisk with milk. I prefer to use a plate instead of a bowl for this because it is easier to coat the chicken. Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Then roll each piece, one at a time in egg mixture.
- Once the chicken is coated with egg, drop it in the bag with the bread crumb mixture. Hold the top of the bag shut and give it a gentle shake until the chicken is coated with crumbs. Place the chicken in the skillet.
- Turn the pieces until they are browned on each side. Once browned, remove the chicken to a baking pan. Sprinkle garlic salt on each piece before putting the whole pan in the oven.
- Bake the chicken uncovered for 45 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 minutes. Recipe makes 6 servings.
Equipment
- 1 large skillet
- 1 13x9 inch baking dish
Notes
We like to use drumsticks or chicken legs when making Mom's Fried Chicken. It's easy to eat with your hands and tastes so crispy and delicious. But I often add chicken thighs to the pan, too. When using this recipe for white meat, I cut it into strips and make Chicken Tenders. They are so yummy served with Crispy Smashed Potatoes and a leafy salad.
