Fried Chicken like KFC

Ingredients
Coating-1
All purpose Flour-1/2 Cup

Coating-2
Eggs (beaten) - 2
Milk - 1 1/2 cups
Soy sauce - 1/2 tsp.
Knorr chicken bouillon - 1 tsp.
Freshly chopped parsley - 1 tbsp.
Garlic (minced) - 2 large cloves

Coating-3
All purpose flour - 1 cup
Fine bread crumbs - 3/4 cup
Salt - 1/2 tsp.
Garlic powder - 1/2 tsp. (not salt)
Onion powder - 1/4 tsp. (not salt)
Paprika - 1/2 tsp.
Black pepper - 2 tsp.

Frying
Cooking oil - 5-6 cups
Chicken - 2 lb (cut in pieces)

Method
1.Mix each coating ingredients in seperate bowls.
2.Heat oil in a kadai put in medium heat(to cook the chicken)
3.Coat the chicken pieces in first flour coating and dip in milk egg coating and in final coating of bread crumbs.
4.Deep fry the chicken in oil. The oil should not be too hot otherwise the outside gets browned before the inside gets cooked.
5.Check if its cooked properly and its light brown in color.
6.Put in paper towel.
7.Serve with fries or onion rings with tomato sauce.

Tips
     - If you want a juicier chicken, soak the chicken in salt water for 4-5 hours before applying the coating and frying.
     - It is better to have the chicken in room temperature before frying as cold chicken takes longer to cook. As a result the outside will brown up faster before the inside gets cooked.
     - For a healthier twist, you can bake the chicken at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes after applying all the coating. That tastes equally good too.
