- Add chicken and marinate for 2 hours.
- Remove chicken from brine, rinse with water and blot dry.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer to 300F.
- Make the breading by combining all ingredients in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the milk.
- When the oil is hot, dip each piece of chicken in the egg and milk mixture and then press into the breading.
- Toss each chicken piece in the breading until well-coated, let chicken sit for 2 minutes in the breading, shake off the excess breading and fry 2 to 4 pieces at a time (or whatever your fryer can hold) for 18 to 20 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown.
- Drain chicken on a rack for at least 5 minutes before serving.
- TIDBITS: If you want to keep the chicken warm until it's all cooked, place the fried pieces on a rack on a baking sheet and keep them in your oven set to 200F.
