 Ingredients
1 to 2 1/2-pound chicken, cut into pieces
3 eggs
3/4 cup whole milk
2 tbsp tabasco sauce
2 cups self-rising flour
1 tbsp fresh cracked pepper
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp salt
Oil, for frying, preferably peanut oil

Directions
In a medium size bowl, beat the eggs with the milk then add the hot sauce. In another bowl, combine the flour and pepper. Season the chicken with the salt and garlic powder. Dip the seasoned chicken in the egg, and then coat well in the flour mixture.
Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a deep frying or cast iron pot. Do not fill the pot more than 1/2 full with oil.
Fry the chicken in the oil until brown and crisp ( Do not overcrowd). Dark meat takes longer then white meat. It should take dark meat about 15 minutes, white meat around 10-12 minutes.  Check chicken for doneness.  Place chicken on tray of paper towels to remove excess oil.  Serve hot!
