Ingredients:

  • 3 tsp salt
  • 2 cups water
  • 3/4 cup oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 -1 1/2 tbsp pepper
  • 1 -1 1/2 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 -1 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1/2-1 tbsp seasoning salt
  • 1/2-1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 -1 1/2 tbsp dark chili powder
  • 1 1/2-3 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2-1 tbsp paprika

Directions:

  1. Soak chicken in salt mixed with water, let sit in fridge for at least 20 minutes to an hour.
  2. Pre-heat oven to 400.
  3. Drain salt water and rinse chicken well in cold water, shaking dry.
  4. Beat egg and milk in medium sized bowl.
  5. Mix flour and desired spices in another medium sized bowl.
  6. Put oil in skillet and heat on medium/high heat - See Tip 1.
  7. Dip chicken in flour mixture, coating generously.
  8. Dip same piece in egg mixture, shaking off excess.
  9. Re-dip into flour mixture - See Tip 2.
  10. Cook chicken (do not crowd) in large deep skillet (or I use a pot) for 6-8 minutes each side, do not lift except to turn once, do not stab with a fork (if your super tempted to look, use thongs and be careful - but I warned you lol).
  11. When finished place chicken in casserole dish or deep cookie tray (you can line with foil) Spread with a THIN layer of oil.
  12. Bake chicken 30 minutes or until cooked through, no need to turn.
  13. Tip 1 - Letting the chicken sit after floured on a plate (like while waiting ot coat the rest) results in some of it coming off or almost melting , I suggest having the oil ready to go when you start dredging, or at least re dip in flour mixture right before tossing it inches.
  14. Tip 2 - On this step I always throw the chicken in, and move it around to coat the one side, then flip. Then I go wash all of the flour and egg off of my hands and dry them, then being careful not to let my hands touch a moisture spot again, coat the piece entirely. This will keep damp fingers from making spots of breading disappear.
