·         2 or 3 eggs

·         EdSteps

1.       1

Mix the batter. Beat the 2 or 3 eggs in a medium-large bowl—–you'll be dunking your chicken pieces in this. Add 2/3 cup milk, whisk to blend, and set aside

.       2

Mix the dry ingredients. In a large bowl, mix the soup mix, Italian dressing, black pepper, and flour together.

3.       3

Coat the chicken. Take a piece of chicken and dip it into the batter. Then place it in the flour mixture and cover the chicken with it. Set the coated chicken aside.

4.       4

Repeat for the remaining chicken. Continue coating each chicken piece until all portions are prepared.

5.       5

Fry it up! Heat the oil in a large skillet until it shimmers but doesn't smoke—about 350°F/175°C. Using tongs, carefully place the chicken pieces skin-side down into the skillet and fry them over medium heat. Leave the pieces in there for about 25 to 30 minutes, turning and flipping occasionally. Add chili peppers for a spicier flavor.

o    Don't add the chicken until the fat is hot, otherwise you'll end up with greasy chicken.

6.       6

De-grease the bird. Remove the pieces from the skillet and drain the grease onto paper towels or a clean kitchen cloth (such as a tea towel).

7.       7

Finished. Serve with mashed potatoes, gravy, coleslaw, corn on the cob, homemade fries and a root beer for a real KFC-authentic meal.

Tips

·         Good Seasons Italian dressing isn't available everywhere and maybe you'd rather make your own anyway. To make a substitute, mix together: 1 tablespoon each of garlic salt, onion powder, sugar and dried parsley. Add 2 tablespoons each of dried oregano and salt. Add 1 teaspoon each of freshly ground pepper and dried basil. Finally, add 1/2 teaspoon each of dried thyme and celery salt.^[1]

·         Serving a lot? Cook the chicken in batches so that the oil remains hot.

·         You may want to turn the heat down if the chicken turns browner than you want it to be.

·         The best kind of skillet to use is cast iron. It does a great job at distributing the heat evenly, and doesn't cool down too quickly.

·         Don't forget to check the temperature of the chicken with an instant-read thermometer. The USDA recommends poultry be cooked to a minimum of 165°F (74°C).
