Copycat Cracker Barrel Sunday Homestyle Chicken

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine all Marinade ingredients. Add chicken pieces and ensure they are fully submerged. Marinate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, in the refrigerator.
2. In a separate large bowl, whisk together all Dredge ingredients.
3. Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off. Dredge each piece thoroughly in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C).
5. Carefully add chicken pieces to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry for 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C).
6. Remove chicken from oil and place on a wire rack to drain excess oil. Serve immediately.
