Millie Pasquinelli’s Crispy Fried Chicken
  1. 1

    Combine the flour, seasoned salt, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow plate or bowl. Put the eggs in a separate shallow bowl.

  2. 2

    Coat the chicken pieces by rolling or shaking them in the flour mixture and set them on a platter. Next, dip each chicken piece in the egg, then roll it again in the flour mixture.

  3. 3

    Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or large skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  4. 4

    Fry the coated chicken pieces in the hot oil for about 5 minutes per side. Cover the skillet and cook over lower heat for about 10 minutes. Remove the cover, increase the heat, and fry for 5 minutes per side to crisp the chicken. The chicken is done when it is no longer pink inside and the juices run clear. An instant-read thermometer placed near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  5. 5

    Drain the fried chicken on paper towels and keep it warm in an oven until ready to serve.
