The third in my series of completely unpolitical threads.
Give us your friend chicken recipes! 
Fried chicken is considers Southern food, but in reailty, it's world wide. I mean, flour, chicken, oil, it's pretty simple.
The best fried chicken I remember having is from a place called Colonel Lee's, in Nebraska, but that's a childhood memory. There's a legendary fried chicken place in Frakenmouth, Michigan, all you can eat fried chicken and mashed potatoes. I've always wanted to go there. Funny thing, since I've moved south, I haven't had any FC that wasn't from KFC.  
So, share your fried chicken recipes! Ironically, I, the great Apolyton chef, do not have one.

Honestly, fried chicken is one of my least favorite foods....and I call myself a Southerner, for shame!

I've eaten at the place in Frankenmouth - trust me, you can get more than chicken and potatos there. Their chicken was OK, not heavenly as I was expecting.
At one time, when we both were kids Che, fried chicken was the single most-ordered item at sitdown roadside diners, now it is almost impossible to find other than KFC. That's because America changed, and the idea of regularly eating fried chicken became anathmea to anybody who wanted to at least believe they were healthy.
Fvck them. Losers. 
My fried chicken recipe is simple: Flour, salt, pepper, oil, chicken pieces (you can also do boneless breasts, make your own nuggets, wings, etc with this timeless recipe), frying pan, tongs, paper towels, meat thermometer, soap and Windex (for cleaning).
Wash the thawed chicken. Put flour, pepper, salt (about two tablespoons salt per 8 ounces of flour) in a large covered bowl, shake until well mixed. Put 2-3 chicken pieces in bowl, cover, shake, remove. Repeat until you're out of chicken.
Heat the oil 'til it pops when you flick a bubble of water on it, once that's possible, throw your chicken in (My range goes to 10, I usually set it at 8 and then turn it down to 7 once the chicken is in - your mileage may vary). For boneless breasts, cook one side about 10 minutes, flip, cook side 2 for about 15 minutes, flip to side 1 for another 10-15, flip side 2 to even up color with side 1. Take the thickest one out and use the meat thermometer - poultry is fine at 170F, and starts to dry out when it hits 180, and is seriously overcooked at 190.
Wings, Legs, Thighs, and Breasts all take different times to cook, so if you have mixed pieces, throw them in at this order: B, T, L, W. Cooked alone or with other wings, wings can be done in as little as 10 minutes if you've got it going.

I had the most loathesome fried chicken in a genuine rail car diner in the middle Pennsylvania, don't remember the town.
Harold's chicken in Chicago is hit or miss. It's not as great as I remember it being in the early 90s. Around Chicago, there's a small chain called Brown's Chicken that actually makes a wonderful fried chicken, but they don't compete well. It's my favorite chain. Some of them even sell fried livers and gizzards. Mmmmmm. Fried chicken livers.
Best chicken I remember having as an adult was at a place called Four Star Chicken, which was a Thai resteraunt in Lakeview Chicago that made barbequed fried chicken. They didn't last very long, sadly. White folks just don't appreciate the goodness that is BBQ FC.
Uncle Che's FC
bowl of flour, salt and pepper
bowl of milk and egg mixture
put chicken in flour and coat thoroughly, then put in milk and egg mixture and wet thoroughly, then put back in flour and recoat thoroughly.
Fry as per JohnT's previous directions.
My fried chicken has won the approval of many a friend, but I haven't made it for quite a while, much to Bunnygrrl's dismay.
