(Courtesy of Family Circle)

Ingredients:
1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 c. seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp. garlic salt
2 eggs.
2 Tbsp. milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1 broiler-fryer chicken (about 3 1/2 lbs.), cut into 8 pieces
2 c. peanut oil


Directions:
In a shallow dish, whisk together flour, bread crumbs, Parmesan and garlic salt.  In a medium-size bowl, whisk together eggs, milk and salt.


Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, shaking off the excess.  Roll in flour mixture and place on a baking sheet fitted with a wire rack.  Refrigerate while heating oil.


Place oil in a large lidded heavy-bottom skillet.  Heat oil to 365 degrees over medium-high heat.  Add chicken, skin-side down.  Fry, covered, about 22 minutes, turning every 4 minutes, or internal temperature registers 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer.  Transfer chicken to paper towels.
