Now, you can make America’s favorite fried chicken from the comforts of your own home. It’s easy! The following recipe details the “secrets” of the colonel and we couldn’t happier about this. Plus, this recipe is very easy to follow so no worries about that at all. You’re gonna love this!
Whenever I make this chicken I go all out and make the mashed potatoes, buttermilk biscuits, and macaroni and cheese. Sometimes, I’ll even throw a plate of green beans in the mix because, well, we need our veggies now don’t we?
Ingredients
1 teaspoon Morton salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 pounds of chicken (legs, thighs, breast – whatever preferred)

Instructions
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
Mix all spice ingredients together with the flour and cornstarch, set aside in large bowl. Beat eggs into water in separate bowl.
Place chicken pieces in an egg mixture just long enough to get saturated (add more water if necessary). Drain, then coat each piece in the flour mixture.
Deep fry in hot oil until golden brown. Finish off the chicken by baking it for about 1 hour, or until juices run clear.
