Homemade Battered Chicken



 This makes a good meal recipe as well as a good snack recipe, if cut into fingers or nugget-sized bites.

Ingredients:
Vegetable oil
1 c. milk
1 c. water
3 c. flour

Directions:
 Heat oil in cast-iron skillet to 350 degrees.  Use enough oil to cover the chicken.  Beat remaining ingredients until smooth.  Dip chicken into batter, letting excess drip into bowl.  Fry a few pieces at a time, about 1 1/2 min. each side turning once, until golden brown.  Slice in the middle to ensure the chicken is cooked all the way through.
To keep warm, place in 300 degree oven.
