== Ingredients ==
* 1 whole frying chicken, cut up and marinated
* 6 – 8 cups shortening for cooking
* 1 egg, beaten
* 1 cup milk
* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 2½ teaspoons salt
* ¾ teaspoon pepper
* ¾ teaspoon msg
* ⅛ teaspoon paprika
* ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
* ⅛ teaspoon baking powder
== Directions ==
# Trim any excess skin and fat from the chicken pieces.
# Preheat the shortening in a deep-fryer to 350°F.
# Combine the beaten egg and milk in a medium bowl.
# In another medium bowl, combine the remaining coating ingredients (flour, salt, pepper and msg).
# When the chicken has marinated, transfer each piece to paper towels so that excess liquid can drain off.
# Working with one piece at a time, first dip in egg and milk then coat the chicken with the dry flour mixture, then the egg and milk mixture again, and then back into the flour.
# Be sure that each piece is coated very generously.
# Stack the chicken on a plate or cookie sheet until each piece has been coated.
# Drop the chicken, one piece at a time into the hot shortening.
# Fry half of the chicken at a time (4 pieces) for 12-15 minutes, or until it is golden brown.
# You should be sure to stir the chicken around halfway through the cooking time so that each piece cooks evenly.
# Remove the chicken to a rack or towels to drain for about 5 minutes before eating.
