The only reason i didn't give this a 5, was the flour mixture needed a bit of salt. The aroma of it cooking was fantastic...everyone ran to the table when I announced it was done. It took a LOT longer to fry since I used bone-in thighs, but it tasted great.

It got everyone's vote for a do-over...and my son said "MMMMMMmmm" upon first bite. =)
