Southern Fried Chicken

 
Ingredients -
1 (3 pound) Chicken, cut into 8 pieces
1 tablespoon Salt
1 tablespoon Fresh Ground Pepper
2 Eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup Evaporated Milk
2 cup All-Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Paprika
1/4 teaspoon Dried Thyme
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 quart Vegetable Oil for frying
 
Preparation:
Season the chicken with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, mix the eggs and milk with 1/2 cup water. Add the chicken and set aside.
In a heavy paper bag combine flour, paprika, thyme, and garlic powder. Close tightly and shake to blend. Remove the chicken pieces from the egg mixture and immediately drop them into the bag one piece at a time. Shake to coat.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over moderate heat. Remove the chicken pieces from the bag, shake off the excess flour and drop them onto the hot oil. Cook the chicken pieces until golden brown and done, 5 minutes on each side for breasts and wings; 8 to 10 minutes on each side for thighs and legs. Drain on paper towel.
