Better4U Fried Chicken

You may have to cut amounts for smaller or larger families.
This is a fav of my Mom's. She is a brittle diabetic. Her doctor allows her to have this up to 2x/month.
8 bone-in Chicken Thighs (I prefer foster farms)
½ cup wheat flour (you can use all regular flour if you want)
1 cup regular flour
2 tbsps. garlic powder
1 tbsp. onion powder
2 tbsp. old bay seasoning (I buy this @ Smart & Final)
1 tsp. sage
2 tsp. california style chili powder

½ tsp. cayenne pepper

¼ tsp. sea salt (you can use regular salt)

2 eggs whisked with a small amount of milk.

vegetable oil

large non-stick deep frying pan

Broiler pan (the one with the slats) line the bottom of the broiler pan with foil to catch drippings.

*Use a pearing knife and stab several holes into the thighs on the skin side and set aside.

*Put eggs & milk mixture into a bowl for dipping.

*In a large separate bowl, combine flour and seasonings and mix well with a whisk or fork.

*Heat oil in fry pan on med/high while you are preparing chicken below

*dip each thigh in the egg mixture and saturate, then dip into flour mixture and coat well.  Set aside on a plate.

Once all are coated in flour mixture, go back to the first piece and re-coat in flour a 2nd time.

*Take chicken from 2nd flour dip directly to fry pan skin side down.  You can squeeze the pieces in.  Just make sure there's room to turn them over. Preaheat oven to 400 degrees.

*Cook on one side until golden brown and then turn over.  Cook second side until golden brown.  Then remove from fry pan and transfer to broiler, skin side up. Cook in oven approx 10-15 minutes to completely cook and give oil time to drain off.

*Remove and allow to cool slightly and serve (if u are unsure of doneness, cut a small slit into the center of largest thigh and pull open.  You should see some broth but no pink.)
