How to Make Fried Chicken
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1/4 cup milk. Set aside.
- In a shallow dish, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 packet ranch salad dressing mix (or your preferred flavor), and 1 packet (1 ounce) of your favorite soup mix (onion, chicken, or mushroom are great choices).
- Dip each chicken piece (about 1.5 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks) into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then dredge in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
- Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (about 350°F). Carefully place chicken pieces in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry chicken for 25-35 minutes, turning frequently, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
- Remove chicken from skillet and place on a wire rack to drain excess oil. Serve immediately and enjoy!
