Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk to create an egg wash.
- Dip each chicken piece into the seasoned flour mixture, then into the egg wash, and then back into the flour mixture, ensuring each piece is well coated.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
- Fry the chicken for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and place on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
- Serve the homemade fried chicken hot with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or cornbread.
- Enjoy!
