- 1 cup milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt (optional)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

Directions:
- Rinse the chicken: Rinse the chicken pieces with cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

- Coat with flour: Combine the flour and seasoned salt (if using) in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add the chicken pieces, a few at a time, and shake to coat completely in the flour.
- Dry the coated chicken: Shake off any excess and set the chicken aside on a rack to dry.
- Heat the oil: Pour the oil into a deep skillet or deep fryer and heat it to 350 degrees F. Add chicken thighs and legs and cook for several minutes.
