   Pour 1/2 to 1 inch of oil into a deep 12-inch cast-iron skillet and heat until a pinch of flour sizzles upon contact (about 360 degrees F).

   Set a wire rack on top of a rimmed baking sheet and set aside.

5. 5

   In a bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs.

   Dip the chicken in the egg wash, drain off the excess, then dredge in the flour, shaking off the excess.

8. 8

   Working in batches, place the chicken skin-side down in the skillet and fry for 3 minutes without moving.

9. 9

   Continue to fry, turning the chicken every 1 to 2 minutes to ensure even browning and cooking, until the chicken is cooked through, 11 to 15 minutes.

    Drain on the rack and serve hot, warm or at room temperature.
