It DOES;
I would suggest, tho', that unless you're a true garlic nut like me, you cut back to two cloves, or even one.............

That sounds wonderful!!! Do the have a thick batter-like coatinf after they are fried?

No ma'am; the flour doesn't produce anything batter-like...the chicken is over the heat too long for that...but if the oil is hot enough before you place the chicken in, you get a nice crispy product.
