After the soak, you boil the chicken in the milk for about 20 minutes, then remove and and let it cool on a rack.


I'll mix up a simple blend of salt, flour, and cayenne pepper in a gallon freezer bag. Next you put 1-2 pieces of chicken at time into the flour mix and shake, then into an egg mixture, then back into the flour mix, and finally into a cast iron skillet with Crisco at 350 degrees.

In addition to the chicken, I'm going to do some store bought Bob Evans mashed potatoes (with frozen homemade gravy), a salad and vegetables on the side. PJ, chicken thighs and legs are on sale at Marsh right now for $0.99/lb now.

Couple suggestions, soak in buttermilk and have two bags to shake chickien in. The first with flour only, the second bag with flour and seasonings after the egg wash( a lot of the flour crust will come off in the bag, it gets messy, reason for two), try to keep as much of that crust to firmly stick.

I've read a boatload of fried chicken recipes and I've never heard of boiling chicken in milk. I would think the milk is going to just curdle up. Love to know how it turns out. Extremely interested boiler.
