Pirate's pantry - Fried Chicken - YEAH

Now I have children, who have been in the Brownouts -  But, they have had a gas range to cook on.  I suggested they use their Chicken on this.  

It is fabulous.  I just remember cooking this for my Family -  all 6 of us.  It take a half and hour to cook --- "So, have them people ready"  the pirate is here.

I got my book from my sister in law -   -   Who live in the south --- Yeah  Pauline

1/2 tsp. black pepper

Mix well eggs, milk, salt, red and black pepper.  Soak chicken in mixture for 1 hour.  Roll chicken in seasoned flour.  Fry, uncovered at 400 degrees F. with oil deep enough to cover chicken.  If browning too fast, reduce temp.

Take out some oil to make milk gravy.

I forgot to tell my kids to make milk gravy.
