This is more of a review since I followed the directions exactly and did not deviate one bit. I made this along with garlic mash potatoes that I have been making for quite a while. The chicken turned out moist and delicious. It was cooked perfectly and was not overwhelmed by any spice. It was not hot or extra spicy as many recipes are these days. It was a lot like the fried chicken I grew up with and a fitting recipe for John's new book My Family Table. I made this for Valentine's Day supper. Thanks John!This is how I made it.

Salt and pepper the chicken pieces generously. Mix the flour, onion and garlic powder together. Dip the chicken in the milk and then dredge through the flour mixture to coat well.
