Tuesdays at the Table

The rules are simple: If you would like to post, do so on your own blog, and then mention the original poster, Andrea at "My Chihuahua Bites" - in your post. Then go to her blog and sign the post with the link to your recipe. That way, there is a collection going... make sense? :)

Here is my recipe for today! This is the best recipe that I have found so far to make one of my favorites - FRIED CHICKEN!

**Southern Fried Chicken**

INGREDIENTS
30 saltine crackers
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons dry potato flakes
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 egg
1/4 cup vegetable oil
6 chicken thighs or drumsticks (or both)

DIRECTIONS

Place crackers in a large resealable plastic bag; seal bag and crush crackers until they are coarse crumbs. Add flour, potato flakes, seasoned salt, and pepper to bag and mix well.

Beat egg in a shallow dish or bowl; heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
One by one, dredge chicken pieces in egg beat, then place in bag with crumb mixture, seal bag and shake to coat.

Reduce heat to medium and cook coated chicken in skillet for 15 to 20 minutes, turning frequently, until golden brown and juices run clear.
