Southern Fried Chicken Recipe
Just like Grandma used to make, serve with steamed rice, and chicken gravy.
Ingredients:
1 Frying Chickens cut into serving pieces
1 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/4 tsp. Ground Black Pepper
1/2 Cup Milk
Vegetable Shortening for frying
1 Tbsp. Bacon Drippings
Directions:
Start by washing the chicken, and patting it dry.
Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a large food storage bag, blend well. In a bowl, pour the milk.
In a deep, heavy skillet, heat 3” of shortening over medium heat, then add the bacon grease. The oil is hot enough when a drop of water spatters when it hits the oil.
Dip the chicken pieces into the milk and then into the flour bag, and shake to evenly coat.
Place the chicken into the fat, and don’t let them get overcrowded. Fry for 15 to 20 minutes, until the outside is golden brown and crisp, turning them once. Reduce the heat, and let them cook for another 15 minutes, turning once again.
Drain the chicken on some paper towels.
And Enjoy!
