Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare the chicken breasts by splitting them into two pieces each, keeping the bone in. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
-
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
-
In another dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
-
Heat vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, enough to cover the chicken halfway.
-
Dip each piece of chicken into the seasoned flour mixture, coating all sides, and shake off excess flour.
-
Dip the floured chicken into the egg wash, allowing excess to drip off.
-
Carefully place the chicken, skin side down, into the hot oil. Fry in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
-
Fry the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), flipping halfway through.
-
Transfer the fried chicken to a wire rack over a baking sheet to drain excess oil.
-
Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.
