FRIED CHICKEN A LA KELLY

Kelly is our daughter-in-law, married to our youngest son, and I might add, they have given me 2 of the most wonderful grandchildren in the world. When anyone in our family gets hungry for fried chicken or fried turkey nuggets, we call Kelly. I had bought a couple of boneless turkey breast and planned on baking them when we decided to have a get together and have fried chicken. I didn't have chicken, but, I had turkey breast, so we just improvised and cut up the turkey in strips and chunks and Kelly did her magic. I like the turkey best. Not that it is any consolation, the skin is removed before frying. Trust me on this one, you will not miss the skin.
1 Chicken, cut-up into serving size pieces and remove the skin
3 eggs
Milk
Flour
Cajun Seasoning OR Salt and Pepper (red & black)
Wash chicken thoroughly and season on both sides.
Make egg batter with a dash of milk and seasoning in it.
Mix flour with seasoning. Dust chicken with flour and dip into egg batter. Roll in flour again and fry in oil 2" deep at 350° until the chicken is cooked to the bone. The inside temperature of cooked chicken is 185°.
NOTE:
Season each step lightly. You are building the flavors, the meat is seasoned, the egg mixture is seasoned, and the flour is seasoned, so that no one step has to be over seasoned.
I use a zip lok bag to put my flour and seasoning in. After you put chicken pieces in it, let them sit for 5 or 10 minutes before removing and putting in hot oil. You can do that while the oil is heating. The next batch can be put in as soon as the first is taken out.
