Directions
Beat eggs in a large bowl,sit aside.
Combine all dry ingredients and mix well in a gallon sized freezer bag.Using short tongs,coat chicken in egg one piece at a time,then add to freezer bag of dry ingredients.Close bag and shake well until all pieces are well coated,leaving them in the bag.Preheat oil in one skillet on the stove top,preheat other skillet in the oven at 400 degrees.Allow chicken to sit in bag for 15 to 30 minutes,the longer the better your coating will stick.Brown chicken in oil on stove top over medium heat only turning once.Very important>Use tongs for this,not a fork so your batter stays on the chicken and turn it very carefully.Do about 4 pieces at a time so the skillet isn't overcrowded.Once browned place chicken in your preheated skillet in the oven and bake at 400 degrees until done.Aprox.1 hour to 1 hour and 15 min.
You can place chicken on a cooling rack when finished if you wish then make gravy with your drippings.
