Jessica's Best Fried Chicken

Submitted by JessicaJoan

"This was one of the first real entrees I learned to cook, and actually mastered. ;) My boyfriend begs for fried chicken at least 3 times a week! It is a little messy, but fairly simple to make, and well worth it! Again, I tend not to measure when I cook, so play with the measurements as you please!"

• 4 eggs
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1⁄2 tablespoon season salt

directions
