DIXIE FRIED CHICKEN
I think "Dixie Fry" boxed chicken breading makes the best coating for fried chicken. Why waste precious time salting and peppering flour? Marinating in canned chicken stock really brings out the chicken flavor, and I think chicken stock makes a better liquid to seal the breading with, than say plain water, or milk:

Steps:
- Pour canned Chicken Stock into wide shallow pan.
- Marinate chicken in the chicken stock overnight in the refrigerator, or for two to three hours in fridge.
- If using unsalted chicken stock, salt and pepper chicken on both sides, go easy on the salt, though.
- Pour enough corn oil into electric skillet to come only 1/4 up the sides of skillet.
- Set heat at 375-400.
- Have electric skillet pre-heated before you begin to coat chicken.
- Pour out 1 packet of Dixie Fry onto flat dish or pan.
- Have another large flat pan ready to hold the just-coated chicken in.
- Dredge the wet/marinated chicken in Dixie Fry, making sure the chicken is fully covered with coating, place in empty pan.
- Shake off excess.
- Once all chicken is coated, place all pieces of chicken in 400-420 electric skillet.
- Make sure to keep the lid on while chicken fries, as this will seal in the flavors and juices.
- Cook approximately 15-20 minutes on each side.
- I like to use tongs to turn chicken.
- Chicken should be golden brown when done.
- Drain/cool on paper towels for at least 5 minutes.
- Enjoy.

Steps:
- 1. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Combine flour and red pepper; set aside. Combine egg and milk; dip chicken in egg mixture and dredge in flour mixture, coating chicken well.
- 2. Pour oil to a depth of 1 inch in a 10 inch to 12 inch skillet; (I only fry chicken in cast iron) heat oil to 350 degrees. Fry chicken in hot oil over medium heat 15 to 20 minutes or until golden, turning occasionally. Remove small pieces earlier, if necessary, to prevent overbrowning.
- 3. Drain chicken on paper towels. Serves 4
Tips:
- Use a cast iron skillet or a heavy-bottomed pot for frying the chicken. This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the chicken from sticking.
- Season the chicken liberally with salt, pepper, and other spices before frying. This will help to create a flavorful crust.
- Use a combination of vegetable oil and butter for frying the chicken. This will help to prevent the oil from burning and will add flavor to the chicken.
- Fry the chicken in small batches so that it doesn't overcrowd the pan. This will help to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat until it is golden brown and cooked through. This will take about 10-12 minutes per side.
- Serve the chicken hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or green beans.
