Steps:
- In a medium pan, place chicken and cover with milk. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours to overnight. This helps tenderize the meat, but is optional
- In a large saucepan over a medium-high heat, using tongs, transfer chicken into pot, then pour in the milk. Bring milk to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low allowing to simmer until the chicken is cooked through entirely, about 20 minutes. Remove the chicken from the milk, and place on a rack to cool. Allow them to sit until warm about 15 minutes, and then pat dry using a kitchen towel.

- In a large zip-lock bag, add salt, flour, cayenne pepper, shake to combine.
- In a medium bowl, beat 1 egg.
- Place each piece of chicken, 1 at a time, in the bag and shake to coat the chicken. Then dip chicken into the egg to coat. Place the chicken back into the flour to coat for a second time. Repeat this method on remaining 3 pieces of chicken.
- Gently drop each piece of chicken into hot oil, allowing the skin to crisp and turn golden brown in color, about 1 minute per side. Remove from the oil and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve immediately.
REAL SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN
As a Yankee originally from Vermont, I didn't know one fried chicken from another. They all seemed pretty much the same to me. Tasting the Southern version opened my eyes! A side of hot biscuits served with butter and honey is practically mandatory. -Lily Julow, Lawrenceville, Georgia

CLASSIC SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 200 F and place a rack in a large baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine the milk and eggs. Whisk to blend well.
- In a large heavy-duty resealable plastic food storage bag, combine the flour, 2 tablespoons salt, and pepper. Seal and shake to combine.
- Dip the chicken pieces in the milk and egg mixture and let excess drip off into the bowl. Set already dipped pieces aside on a plate until you have three or four.
- Add the dipped chicken pieces to the bag of seasoned flour.
- Seal the bag and shake well to coat the chicken pieces thoroughly.
- Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining chicken pieces.
- Heat the oil in a deep, heavy skillet to 350 F. While it's heating up, set aside a large serving plate lined with paper towels.
- Fry the chicken, a few pieces at a time, for about 10 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and thoroughly cooked. Be careful not to put too many chicken pieces in at once-even if they can comfortably fit-since this will dramatically drop the temperature of the oil, affecting the crispness of the final product. Note that chicken breasts will take a little less time than dark meat pieces.
- With a slotted spoon, move the done chicken pieces onto the paper towel-lined platter to drain. Sprinkle immediately with salt.
- Transfer the drained and seasoned chicken to the prepared pan with a rack. Keep warm in the preheated oven while frying subsequent batches. Depending on the size of your pan, this recipe will require about 3 to 4 batches.

Steps:
- 1. I soak my chicken in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes to an hour. Overnight is okay.
- 2. Stir eggs into milk using a fork or wire whisk. Prepare 3 bowls or pans with flour in two of them and milk-egg mixture in a third pan. Have extra flour ready to add to bowls or pans as flour gets clumped up.
- 3. You'll be double dipping your chicken. Since it gets kind of messy I put waxed paper under my pans.
- 4. As you remove chicken pieces from buttermilk do the following: 1. Put them into egg/milk mixture 2. Batter in flour 3 Dip again into egg/milk mixture 4. Batter them again in flour This will give you a wonderful, thick and crispy crust on your chicken.
- 5. Fry chicken in 2 to 3 inches of hot oil. Maintain a medium high temperature. You can't fry chicken too hot, or it will burn... but if your temperature is too low your chicken will be soggy. Also, to have crispy fried chicken, never cover your pan with a lid.
- 6. Turn chicken pieces carefully while frying. I turn my chicken several times while it is cooking using tongs. I usually fry 7 or 8 pieces at the time and it takes about 20 minutes per batch. (When company is coming I'll do at least 16 pieces of chicken in two batches.)
- 7. Fry chicken to a pretty sort of golden brown color. Always be very careful and safe when working with hot oil.
- 8. If you are frying more than one pan full of chicken, make sure you remove the crumbs from your grease with a slotted spoon or strainer between batches. If necessary add more oil to your second batch as needed.
- 9. Drain chicken on napkins or paper towels.

Steps:
- Whisk together buttermilk, mustard, salt and pepper, and cayenne in a bowl, and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken pieces, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 8 hours.
- When you are ready to cook the chicken, combine the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and onion powder in the other plastic bag. Shake to mix thoroughly. Transfer one marinated chicken piece at a time into the dry ingredient bag, and shake well to ensure complete coverage. After all chicken pieces are coated, repeat the process by dipping them in the buttermilk marinade and shaking in the dry coating again.
- Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat, making sure not to burn the oil. When oil is hot, fry chicken in batches until golden brown and juices run clear, turning chicken to brown evenly.
