I've always made my chicken like this. Most of the time I leave out the garlic but it is good both ways.

This is how I have made fried chicken for YEARS! Good teacher; my mom! My grandchildren tell their parents to 'go out to dinner' on the nights I make this for them. We have a great time, and they LOVE fried chicken!!!
