I bought chicken thighs (because it's what we prefer) and took the skin off. I put them in a large bowl and covered with cold water- I added kosher salt, thyme, season salt and sage- I let them soak all day.
About an hour before dinner I took them out and let them sit on some paper towels.
While they were drying I crushed some corn flakes, added some all purpose flour, salt, pepper, season salt, thyme and sage.
I took 2 eggs and beat them, added about 1 c milk.
I melted 1 c crisco in my electric fryer- set on about 350*
put the thighs in the milk/egg mix and then coated them with the crumb/flour mixture and placed in the fryer. I did 5 minutes per side (4 at a time) after all 8 were done I put them in the oven on a cookie sheet 350* for about 20 minutes.
One problem I always had was getting them done without burning the outside- finishing it off in the oven seemed to do the trick!
It was crispy, moist and delicious!
