Frying With Less Mess
When frying foods like chicken there is usually a big oily mess involved before all is said and done. Dip chicken in egg and milk, dredge in your flour or batter mix then place in preheated oil in a large skillet. Reduce heat and turn chicken immediately to seal the batter in place. Cover with a lid and let food cook for 8 minutes before turning and replacing lid for another 8 minutes. Your chicken will be well done, tender and your batter will be crisp and delicious. Remove directly to a metal strainer lined with paper towels to absorb the extra oil. Voila, a neat way to fry chicken!
