Time 1h30m

Yield 1 chicken, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 cut-up fryer
1 cup potatoe buds brand instant mashed potatoes
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup canola oil

Steps:

Begin to warm the cooking oil in a 10 inch frying skillet, add oil to cover the bottom of the skillet.
Mix dry ingredients on a plate to roll the cut pieces of chicken into.
Whisk the 2 eggs and milk, dip the chicken pieces into the egg/milk mixture, then dredge the pieces in dry mixture by roling them in the mix to thoroughly coat each piece.
"Quick fry" the chicken on all sides to crisp the outside to a light to medium browness then lay on a large baking sheet at even spacing between pieces, mix the sizes evenly also.
Bake uncovered in the oven at 375 degrees for about an hour (until juices run clear when you pierce a piece with a fork).
When you take the sheet out, let the chicken cool for a few minutes before serving.
Hint: You can also put the dry ingredients into a 1 gallon ziploc freezer bag to "shake" then fry.
I list ingredients per chicken so you can adjust for your family needs.
