Perfect Fried Chicken

1. 1

   Rinse the chicken pieces and dry thoroughly with the paper towels.

2. 2

   Pour milk (Undiluted) into a large pie plate. Dip chicken into milk.

3. 3

   In a clean brown paper bag, combine flour, cornflake crumbs, salt, pepper and paprika, if using. Then shake chicken, a few pieces at a time, in crumb mixture in the bag, coating well.

4. 4

   Pour peanut oil, or whichever oil you prefer. (I use peanut oil because it has a greater smoking point than other oils).into pan at about 1/2-inch deep, may need more.

5. 5

   Heat the oil slowly.

6. 6

   Brown the chicken lightly, turning with tongs.

7. 7

   Cover; reduce heat; cook 40 to 45 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even browning.

8. 8

   Remove cover; cook 5 minutes longer to crisp the crust.
