Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | Chicken legs |
| 2/3 cup | Flour |
| 1 tsp | Salt |
| 1 tsp | Poultry seasoning |
| 1/4 tsp | Cayenne pepper |
| 1/4 tsp | Marjoram |
| 2 | Eggs |
| 1/4 cup | Milk |
| Oil for frying |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Coating: In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, poultry seasoning, cayenne pepper, and marjoram. Mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.
-
-
Whisk the Egg Mixture: In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. This egg mixture will help create a crispy and flavorful coating for the chicken legs.
-
Coat the Chicken Legs: Dip each chicken leg into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Then, dredge the legs in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating evenly.
-
Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). The oil should be hot enough to create a crispy crust on the chicken legs without burning them.
-
Fry the Chicken Legs: Carefully place the coated chicken legs into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the legs for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and the juices run clear.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked to perfection, transfer the Southern Fried Legs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve hot and crispy alongside your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or cornbread, for a delicious Southern-inspired meal.
