This is the way that I have been doing homemade fried chicken for years. It does have a slight sweet taste to it, but it is oh so moist yet crispy on the outside. I hope that you enjoy it.

How To Make southern fried chicken

  • 1
    Soak chicken overnight in a covered casserole dish(or larger to make sure all chicken is fully covered) in sweet tea. If you want to buy a gallon already made, I find that Milos sweet tea tastes as close to homemade as you can get from a store(or buy a gallon from chick fil a)
  • 2
    When you get ready to fry your chicken, beat your eggs and then add milk to them and mix together real good.
  • 3
    Put your 2 cups of flour onto a large plate and add your salt/pepper to it for seasoning. If you want to add other seasonings feel free to do so. All according to what you personally like.
  • 4
    Put chicken in your egg/milk dredge and then dip it into the flour. Make sure you get a good coating of flour onto it.
  • 5
    Use a large frying pan with a non stick surface. I personally just use vegetable oil, but use whatever oil that you prefer for frying the chicken.
  • 6
    fry until brown on both sides, and enjoy it.
