COUNTRY FRIED CHICKEN 
1/2 c. milk
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 c. all purpose flour
2 tsp. garlic salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. poultry seasoning
2 1/2 - 3 lbs. cut up chicken pieces
Crisco shortening for frying

1. Combine milk and egg in medium bowl; set aside.

2. Combine flour, garlic salt, paprika, pepper and poultry seasoning in paper or plastic bag. Add a few pieces of chicken at a time. Shake to coat.

3. Dip chicken in milk-egg mixture. Shake second time in flour mixture.

4. Skillet or deep fry in Crisco shortening.

To skillet fry, heat 1/2" to 1" Crisco to 365 degrees in electric skillet or in large heavy skillet on medium high heat. Brown chicken on all sides. Reduce heat to 275 degrees or medium low heat. Continue cooking until chicken is tender, about 30 to 40 minutes. Do not cover. Turn chicken several times during cooking. Drain on paper towels.

To deep fry, heat 2" to 3" Crisco shortening to 365 degrees in deep fryer or deep saucepan. Fry chicken for 15 to 18 minutes. Drain on paper towel.

For extra spicy chicken, increase black pepper to 2 teaspoons and poultry seasoning to 1/2 teaspoon.
