The Best Fried Chicken

I don't fry a lot of things these days. However, there is nothing like really good fried chicken. This takes EXACTLY one hour to fry. It comes out with a great crispy crunchie coating and yet it's very juicy inside.
For the very best chicken use a heavy fry pan. I use a large cast iron pan.

NEED:
Chicken of your choice. You can cut up an entire chicken or just use legs and thighs, whatever works for you.
2 eggs...beaten
1/2 to 3/ 4 cups of flour
Seasonings of your choice. I use: garlic powder
salt and pepper
thyme
parsley flakes
In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs and add the spices you are going to use. I do not measure them, I simply sprinkle a small layer over the eggs. Once all the spices have been added, mix the eggs again.
In another shallow bowl, place the flour and add some of the spices to that too and mix.
Pour about 1/2 a cup of veggie oil in the fry pan and turn on medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot before you add the chicken.
Dip chicken in the egg then roll in the flour. Place in the fry pan, along the side. Fill in along the sides and then fill in the center of the pan. Do the rest of the pieces and lay them in the fry pan. Depending on how many pieces you have, you will have to put them in very close to each other.

DO NOT COVER.

Set your timer for 15 minutes. Do not turn the chicken until the timer goes off. Turn over each piece and reset the timer for 15 minutes. When the timer goes off turn over each piece and reset the timer for 15 mintues. If you feel the outside is getting to dark you can turn the heat down A LITTLE. If you have numbers on your stove dials..you should be cooking at number 6...only turn down to number 5. When the timer goes off, turn one last time and set the timer for another 15 minutes.
This one hour cooking time gives you plenty of time to prepare whatever you choose for side dishes.

ENJOY!
