Double Dredge Fried Chicken

Submitted by Kippy2

"This is my family's favorite fried chicken! I have been using this recipe for years now and it's great hot or cold. This is a little on the salty side, but it's perfect for us. If you like less salt, cut back on the amount of salt during the soaking time. Great with baked beans and a potato salad."

I made this recipe on 1/8/10 as part of mine and SO's dinner. I used all the ingredients that the recipe called for, but I did change the directions around. Instead of using all the chicken and salt the recipe called for, 6 large chicken breasts halves were cut into strips and only 1/8 cup of salt was used.The amount of the flour was cut down to 2 cups and I doubled the amount of seasongs. Instead of using a bowl for the seasoned flour, just a large zippered bag was used. I used three eggs and 1/4 to 1/3 cup of milk was used.I didn't have alot of the peanut oil that was called for, so 1 1/2 cups were added to a cast iron skillet. After adding the chicken, I sprinkled a bit of seasoned salt over each piece as it was frying. When a piece had cooled off enough, a " Quality Control Test " was done. :) And I do believe frying in peanut oil made a big change in the way that it tasted. Thanks for posting and, " Keep Smiling :) "
