I am always on the lookout for a recipe like my aunts in Kansas used to make. This looks very similar, except I believe they used buttermilk. Found this on the Wesson Oil website.

3 1/2 lbs chicken pieces or 1 broiler-fryer chicken, cut in 10 pieces
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
vegetable oil (48 fl.oz. bottle of Pure Wesson Oil)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder

  • Whisk milk and egg together in shallow bowl; set aside.
  • Add dark meat chicken into first bag of seasoned flour.

  • Place coated chicken, skin side down, into preheated oil.
  • Cook 10-12 minutes total, or until internal temperature reaches 180°F, turning occasionally to prevent excess browning.
