• beat the eggs thoroughly in a shallow bowl. sift together the flour, sage, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder in a bowl to combine.
• heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. oil should be about 2 inches deep. dip chicken pieces into the beaten egg, then dredge in the seasoned flour to thoroughly coat.
• fry chicken in the hot oil until golden brown on the first side, about 10 minutes; reduce heat to medium, and fry chicken on second side until golden brown and the meat is no longer pink inside, about 20 more minutes. an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh should read 160 degrees f (70 degrees c).
