FRIED CHICKEN

Fried Chicken needs absolutely no introduction so please bare with me while I try to come up with spiffy pieces of info regarding this dish.

Everyone has a different method to their fried chicken. I myself have several and still I try to come up with different methods ever so often. This is one of my simpler methods, just a nice dusting of flour, ample spices and well seasoned pieces of chicken, fried to golden perfection. Here's my recipe, do hope you enjoy.
