Southern-Fried @ Home

A couple of weeks back Kylie emailed me and asked for my fake KFC Chicken recipe, and for the life of me I couldn't put my fingers on it, it's been so long since I cooked it. But with the house renovations happening and the cleaning and culling I have come accross this one which I think sounds delicious, I know it's too late for Kylies Birthday Boys dinner, but I thought I would share, think it might be something I try once the new stove is up and funcitoning (that might even be tomorrow)!!!
