Golden country fried chicken, warm biscuits, and creamy sawmill gravy… does it get any more southern than that? 😋

Here’s how I make my Country Fried Chicken:👇🏼
Preheat oil to 375 (it needs to be about 1.5 inches deep).
Pound out 2 lbs of chicken breasts to about 1/2 in thick, season with salt and pepper.
Season 2 cups of AP flour with 1 tsp each garlic and onion powder, 2 tsp seasoning salt, and a heavy pinch of black pepper (plus a pinch of cayenne if you like some kick).
Beat one egg with 1 1/2 cups of milk and season with a lot seasoning salt and black pepper.
Dip chicken in egg mixture, then coat generously with flour. (Repeat for extra thick crust) Fry on each side about 3 minutes. Place on a wire rack over a baking sheet and salt immediately. (This ensures a flavorful and crispy crust!)
Happy cooking, y’all! 🤎
