Easy Classic Fried Chicken

I am sharing to you my mom's classic Fried Chicken Recipe. Crispy and crunchy on the outside and moist and juicy on the inside.
She uses self-raising flour to give it a nice crispy skin. But, not everyone has self-raising flour available in their area so I substituted it with all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt. Ingredients that I know are available in every kitchen.
This recipe is classic, super easy to make and delicious!
