The "secret" here is the worstershire sauce makes the batter fry up golden brown.

Almost 1 Teaspoon Black Pepper
1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
2 healthy Teaspoons Worstershire Sauce
Cup+ Water

Combine ingredients, adding water as needed.

Coat right before frying.

My Mother's Fried Chicken

Soak chicken pieces in milk. Put in a paper bag with 2 cups of flour and shake until coated. Remove chicken and place on wax paper. Leave it for 30 minutes. This forms a seal and will look like glue. This seals juices and keeps grease out while cooking. Place chicken in 1" hot shortening and cook with lid over medium heat. When the chicken is brown, turn each piece over one time. Turning more than once makes it greasy. Cook about 12 minutes on each side. If you put a couple of drops of yellow food coloring in the hot shortening, it will give chicken a nice color.
