The the best fried chicken is one that you dry with a paper towel first. Then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Then dredge in flour. And then soak in the egg and cream mixture. And finally dip in the best almonds you can find that have been ground in a food processor. Season all stages with salt and pepper for even better flavor. Heat a pan. Then add the [peanut] oil. Brown all sides. Set off the fire alarms. And finish in a 375°F oven until the juices run clear.
