Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Rinse the chicken legs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, combine flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. In a second bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. In a third bowl, add breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken leg in the flour mixture, then in the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure they are well coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (around 350°F or 175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully place the breaded chicken legs in the hot oil. Fry for about 10-12 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with a juice box and your choice of side or waffle.
