Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken breasts by pounding them to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.

  2. In a shallow dish, mix together the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  3. In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk to create an egg wash for the chicken.

  4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  5. Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated on all sides.

  6. Dip the floured chicken breast into the egg wash, making sure it's coated completely.

  7. Return the chicken breast to the seasoned flour mixture for a second coating.

  8. Carefully place the coated chicken breasts into the hot oil. Cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  9. Once cooked, transfer the country fried chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

  10. Serve the country fried chicken hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or cornbread.
