1 chicken (fryer)
1 egg
1/4 Cup milk
2 cups flour
salt and pepper to taste
Enough oil (vegetable or peanut) for 1 inch in large skillet (cast iron if possible)

Cut up chicken, remove skin (except on wings), wash with cold water, drain. Heat oil to medium high.
Beat eggs and milk together, until combined.
Mix flour, salt & pepper together.
Dip chicken pieces in milk/egg mixture, (I always start with the breast because it takes the longest to cook).
Dredge pieces in flour mixture.
Slowly add coated pieces to hot oil, (you want it to slowly cook so that it will completely cook through). Cook on one side until brown, then turn to brown other side. Try not to turn more than once, or you will lose crust.

Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

The main thing is to make sure it is cooked through.

Add any additional spices, if you want, to make the recipe yours.

Enjoy!
