REAL SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN
As a Yankee originally from Vermont, I didn't know one fried chicken from another. They all seemed pretty much the same to me. Tasting the Southern version opened my eyes! A side of hot biscuits served with butter and honey is practically mandatory. -Lily Julow, Lawrenceville, Georgia

CLASSIC SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 200 F and place a rack in a large baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine the milk and eggs. Whisk to blend well.
- In a large heavy-duty resealable plastic food storage bag, combine the flour, 2 tablespoons salt, and pepper. Seal and shake to combine.
- Dip the chicken pieces in the milk and egg mixture and let excess drip off into the bowl. Set already dipped pieces aside on a plate until you have three or four.
- Add the dipped chicken pieces to the bag of seasoned flour.
- Seal the bag and shake well to coat the chicken pieces thoroughly.
- Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining chicken pieces.
- Heat the oil in a deep, heavy skillet to 350 F. While it's heating up, set aside a large serving plate lined with paper towels.
- Fry the chicken, a few pieces at a time, for about 10 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and thoroughly cooked. Be careful not to put too many chicken pieces in at once-even if they can comfortably fit-since this will dramatically drop the temperature of the oil, affecting the crispness of the final product. Note that chicken breasts will take a little less time than dark meat pieces.
- With a slotted spoon, move the done chicken pieces onto the paper towel-lined platter to drain. Sprinkle immediately with salt.
- Transfer the drained and seasoned chicken to the prepared pan with a rack. Keep warm in the preheated oven while frying subsequent batches. Depending on the size of your pan, this recipe will require about 3 to 4 batches.

SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN DINNER IN A BOWL
If you wish, you can substitute 5 cups packaged shredded cabbage with carrot (cole slaw mix) for the cabbage and carrots, or use one package deli coleslaw for the slaw mixture. (I'm lazy. That's what I do). If you want a lighter recipe, you can use reduced fat versions of the mayo and ranch salad dressings. Can't remember where I...
