Body Builder Fried Chicken

My boys absolutely love fried chicken, which is a tad bit counterproductive to our New Years resolution to be body builders. Lol! Yes! We are still working on our goal! We haven't arrived but we are trying; that counts right!?! Lol!

Egg Wash

Add both eggs and spices to bowl

Cook It Up

Set up your work station like so:

I like to line my pans with parchment paper for easy clean up.

'Wash' leg with egg

(Use right hand for wet)

Coat leg with crumb mixture

Set on lined pan

I like to alternate legs like so:

Cook for 1hr or till golden brown and cooked through
