A Modern Way to Fry Chicken
Ready In: 45 Minutes
Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 20 Minutes
Serves 4
DIRECTIONS
Place the chicken pieces in a bag with the seasoned flour, shake vigorously, and remove the chicken. Heat the fat in a heavy skillet over high heat.
Brown the chicken pieces well, skin side first. Do not crowd the pieces in the skillet or you will not achieve evenness of color. Turn the chicken, reduce the heat, and brown well on the other side. Turn again, and continue cooking till the chicken is tender. You may, if you like, cover the chicken after browning on both sides and let it simmer very gently till tender.
Transfer to absorbent paper and then to a hot platter. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat, add 3 tablespoons flour, and stir well. Gradually stir in the milk or cream, and continue stirring until the gravy is thickened. Season highly with salt and pepper. Mashed potatoes, peas, and hot biscuits and honey are traditional with this.
