Heavy Batter Southern Fried Chicken with Garlic

This delicious fried chicken recipe is easy to make and a bit different from the others because garlic powder is used to give extra flavor. The chicken is first soaked in milk to make it tender. You can soak it overnight if you want to, for extra flavor, but an hour is fine too.

Chunks of butter are added to the pan for the chicken to absorb. For the richest, most indulgent southern fried chicken recipe, give this one a try. Drain the chicken on kitchen towel when it is ready and then on a wire rack until it is cool enough to eat.

Southern Fried Chicken soaked in milk, heavily battered, seasoned with a hint of garlic flavor and fried golden brown and crispy.
