Southern fried chicken

        Ingredients:

        2 eggs, beaten

        1 x 390 g can evaporated milk

        salt and freshly ground black pepper

        10 ml minced garlic

        10 ml onion, finely chopped

        1 whole chicken, cut into portions

        675 ml flour

        375 ml oil for frying

         Method:

In a medium-sized bowl, beat together eggs and evaporated milk. Add salt, pepper, garlic and onion. Set aside.

Sprinkle chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Place flour in a plastic bag.

Dip the chicken portions one at a time into the egg and milk mixture, then dip them into the plastic bag of flour. Shake the bag so that the flour coats each piece of chicken thoroughly.

In a large, heavy-based frying pan, heat oil over a medium heat.

Place chicken pieces in pan and fry, turning over after about five minutes. Let the chicken fry for a further 15 minutes, or until it is cooked through and the juices run clear. Serve with Potato salad
