Add 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and salt and pepper to taste to a Ziploc bag. Close the bag and shake well to combine.

Place 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut in half lengthwise into the Ziploc bag with the dry ingredients. Shake the bag to coat the chicken evenly with the flour mixture.

In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk, 2 large eggs, and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce until well combined.

Remove the coated chicken from the Ziploc bag and dip each piece into the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Then, place the chicken back into the Ziploc bag to coat with the flour mixture once again.

Heat a few inches of cooking oil in a deep-sided skillet over medium-high heat on the stove until it reaches frying temperature.

Carefully add the coated chicken to the heated skillet and fry evenly on both sides until golden brown and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F.

Once cooked, transfer the fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Southern fried chicken!
