Southern Fried Chicken

Prep Time: 1 hour

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Yield: 4 Pieces of Fried Chicken

Serving Size: 1 Breast

Crispy, juicy southern fried chicken.

Ingredients

• 4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
• 2 Cups of Water
• 1 Tablespoon of Salt
• 2 Cups of Flour
• Pinch of Pepper and salt
• 2 Extra Large Eggs
• Season Salt
• Peanut Oil for frying

Instructions

1. In a large bowl add the water and salt, stir together until it begins to dissolve and then add the chicken. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
2. Remove the chicken from the fridge and pat dry.
3. In a large pot, or dutch oven fill 1/3 the way full with oil and heat to almost medium high heat, about 325 to 350 degrees.
4. Place the eggs in one dish, and whisk slightly. Add the flour to another dish and add a pinch or two of salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
5. Place 2 paper towels on a plate and set aside.
6. Meanwhile dip the chicken in the egg on both sides, then dredge in the flour on both sides. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken, cooking only 1 or 2 at a time. Cook until lightly golden on one side, about 5 to 8 minutes per side, flip over and cook for another 5 to 8 minutes. Remove to the paper towel lined plate and sprinkle with seasoned salt on both sides. Tent with a little foil and let rest for a few minutes (3-5 is fine) to redistribute juices.
7. Enjoy
