I like to experiment in the kitchen. I was trying to make it similar to KFC. It smells like it, but has a slightly sweeter taste.

Steps

40 mins

1

In a bowl whisk eggs & water together.
2

In a large bowl combine flour and spices; mixing well.
3

One piece at a time, put chicken into egg, then into flour mixture. Add back into egg and again into flour. (be sure to shake off excess flour with each dredging). Repeat with each piece.
4

In a non-stick pan, add 1/2 inch of vegetable oil. Turn on med-low heat.
5

Carefully add chicken to heated oil. Cook covered, for 12 to 15 minutes. Turn over and cook another 10 to 14 minutes. Set on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
6

NOTE: Remember as it cooks the oil temperature will rise. So cooking time will be less on the 2nd side. For thicker pieces, (thigh or breast--bone in), I cook skin side down first.
7

I have a 12-inch non-stick pan and cook mine in batches depending on the size of the chicken pieces.

When I make my dredge I don't measure anything but the flour. So the above is just a guesstimate. Feel free to play around with the amount of spices you use. I use more pepper, cinnamon, & chili powder than anything else.
