Okay so Sunday when Zaira was sleeping I thought I would surprise her by making her dinner. I was just going to make something simple like grilled chicken, potatoes, and rolls. Well right when I was about to throw my cut up pieces of chicken into a frying pan of extra virgin olive oil I thought I'd do something a little more complicated. So I decided to make fried chicken. I looked up the recipe. It said that I was supposed to put the chicken in flour and then into a bowl of milk and eggs beaten together and then into a frying pan of butter. I thought the recipe had to be wrong. I figured that the chicken had to first go in the milk and eggs. That way the flour would have something to stick to. So after doing it this way for a while I noticed that the flour wasn't sticking to the chicken once it was in the frying pan. So I decided it would be much more efficient if I put the everything together in a big bowl. So that is exactly what I did. After mixing up the milk/egg batter, a lot of flour, and chicken really good I then proceeded to put it all in the frying pan. It just barely fit inside the pan. After a couple of minutes I noticed that it wasn't frying the way fried chicken does. So I put half a stick of butter in the pan and turned up the heat. It still wasn't cooking! Instead I was just cooking a giant pancake with chicken chunks. So then I started trying to get out the extra batter so my chicken would become fried chicken. After some of the batter out I put some lemon juice in thinking that would make it fry. But it didn't and I ended up putting everything in the oven hoping it would turn out to be chicken and biscuits!
