I wanted to stop at KFC tonight on the way home but I didn't:) I came home and made fried chicken and a salad. Not the same but my cooking is better:) I am going to eat lay back and watch a little TV, do some sit ups and head off to bed. Have a good night:)

Fried Chicken

* 4 pounds chicken pieces
* 1 1/2 cups milk
* 2 large eggs
* 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 2 tablespoons salt
* 2 teaspoons pepper
* 3 cups vegetable oil
* salt

Preparation:
Rinse chicken; pat dry and then set aside.

Combine milk and eggs in a bowl; whisk to blend well.

In a large heavy-duty resealable plastic food storage bag, combine the flour, salt, and pepper.

Dip a chicken piece in the milk mixture; let excess drip off into bowl. Put a few chicken pieces in the food storage bag and shake lightly to coat thoroughly. Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining chicken pieces.

Heat oil to 350°. Fry chicken, a few pieces at a time, for about 10 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Chicken breasts will take a little less time than other pieces. Pierce with a fork to see if juices run clear to check for doneness. With a slotted spoon, move to paper towels to drain; sprinkle with salt.
