Crispy Southern Fried Chicken
Why This Southern Fried Chicken Batter Stands Out
Our Best Southern Fried Chicken Batter uses a unique blend of seasonings, including chilli powder, garlic powder, and paprika, to create an unforgettable flavor. Coating the chicken pieces in this seasoned batter before frying results in a chicken that is perfectly crispy on the outside, while remaining juicy and flavorful on the inside.

How to Prepare the Best Southern Fried Chicken Batter ?
In a medium bowl, whisk two large eggs until smooth.
Add milk to the beaten eggs and continue whisking until well mixed.
In a resealable bag, combine flour, chilli powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Shake until the ingredients are well distributed.
Place the chicken in the bag, seal it, and shake until the chicken pieces are fully coated in the flour mixture.
Refrigerate the coated chicken overnight to marinate.
Remove the chicken from the bag and dip each piece first in the milk, then the soy sauce, and finally in the beaten egg.
Heat enough oil in a skillet to submerge the chicken pieces, and heat until it starts to bubble.
Fry the coated chicken pieces until they turn golden brown.
Place the fried chicken on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
