First of all…Happy National Fried Chicken Day, y’all!

I’ve been making fried chicken for years and am often asked to make it for the family. Mr Homemaker (haha!) thinks my fried chicken is “out of this world delicious.” So…I just wanted to share my personal recipe with you ❤️

Coleen’s Fried Chicken

Ingredients

2.5 lbs boneless and skinless chicken thighs (if you prefer chicken breasts or even a mixture…that will work too!)

2 cups flour

4-6 eggs

Splash of milk

Salt and pepper for seasoning (or add in your other favorites too!)

Teaspoon of hot sauce

Directions

In a medium bowl, add the flour and seasonings. Whisk together.

In a separate bowl, add the eggs, hot sauce and milk.

Heat a large skillet on low heat. Add a cup of olive oil.

Take one piece of chicken and dip in the egg mixture than into the flour mixture. Repeat. I call this the “double dip” (kinda of reminds me of a Seinfeld episode haha).

Turn up the skillet to medium heat.

Place each piece of the double dipped chicken into the heated skillet. Cook on each side for about 7 minutes until browned.

Keep flipping the chicken every 3 minutes or so. The chicken will need to cook for at least 25 minutes until completely done.

Remove the chicken from the oil and place on a paper towel lined plate to drain the excess grease.
