Ingredients

• 16 chicken pieces
• 3 cups flour

• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 1/2 tablespoons black pepper
• 1/4-1/2 cup spike seasoning
• vegetable oil

Recipe

• 1 steam the chicken until done-this keeps the chicken very juicy and you have a great stock base to freeze for later use (2 meals in one-cant beat that).
• 2 in a large heavy fry pan (i use cast iron), heat 2 1/2-3 inches veg oil over medium high heat.
• 3 set up three bowls.
• 4 in the first bowl add 1 cup flour and all the salt.
• 5 mix well in the second bowl add eggs and milk and whisk well.
• 6 in the third bowl add remaining flour, pepper and spike.
• 7 mix well now dip in salted flour, dip in egg milk mixture, dip into spiced flour and into the hot oil it goes for around 5 minutes total-just to golden brown on all sides.
• 8 drain on a rack-not paper or paper towels and you've got some great chicken-juicy, crunchy and very tasty.
