SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN

1 c. milk
tabasco hot sauce
chicken, unfrozen and skinless
oil for frying
2 c. flour
4 T. sugar
(all of the following ingredients should be dried and ground)
1/4 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. coriander
1/4 t. curry powder
1/4 t. ginger
1 T cayenne pepper
1 t. oregano
1 t. garlic powder
1 t. tarragon
1 t. basil

Mix tabasco sauce, as much as you like, with the milk and soak the raw chicken in this mixture for up to 10 hours, but no less than 15 minutes.
Mix all the dry ingredients in a flattish type of bowl.
Heat the oil to medium in a frying pan.
Remove the chicken parts one at a time from the milk mixture and coat with the flour mixture. Place the coated chicken directly into the heated oil.
Once all the chicken has been coated, and is in the pan, turn the heat down to 3 or so (a little above low) and cover. The chicken should be ready to eat in about 15 or 20 minutes. The meat will start to pull away from the bone when it's done.
Eat either cold or hot.
