Fried chicken

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of all-purpose flour;
• 1 tablespoon of salt;
• 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper;
• 2 cups vegetable fat;
• 2 large eggs;
• ¼ cup milk;
• 1 chicken, cut into 8 portions;

Method of preparation:

1. Combine the flour, salt and pepper in a bowl large enough to hold the largest piece of chicken.
2. Heat the fat in the Hosse cast iron pot over a medium heat to 160 °C.
3. While the fat is heating, whisk together the eggs and milk in a bowl large enough to hold the largest piece of chicken. Dip the chicken pieces one at a time into the egg mixture, then into the flour mixture, then back into the egg mixture and into the flour mixture a second time.
4. When the oil is hot enough, slowly fry the chicken until golden brown on all sides and cooked through. You may need to lower the heat to prevent the meat from browning too much before it's done.
