Southern Fried Crispy Chicken

This is a delicious basic southern fried chicken recipe.
Anyone who is not that experienced in the kitchen
should definitely follow this easy recipe.

Ingredients:
4 pounds chicken pieces
1 1/2 cups milk
2 large eggs
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons salt
2 teaspoons pepper
3 cups vegetable oil
salt to taste

Directions:
Rinse chicken; pat dry and then set aside.
Combine milk and eggs in a bowl; whisk to blend well.
In a large heavy-duty resealable plastic food storage bag,
combine the flour, salt, and pepper.
Dip a chicken piece in the milk mixture;
let excess drip off into bowl.
Put a few chicken pieces in the food storage bag
and shake lightly to coat thoroughly.
Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining chicken pieces.
Heat oil to 350 degrees F. Fry chicken, a few pieces at a time,
for about 10 minutes on each side, or until brown and cooked through. Chicken breasts will take a little less time than other pieces.
Pierce with a fork to see if juices run clear to check for doneness.
With a slotted spoon, move to paper towels to drain; sprinkle with salt.
