Southern Deep Fried Chicken Recipe

Ditto, especially the part about soaking for four hours. Huh?

The secret is in the frying...how long on each side, covered/not covered.

My mom just shook the rinsed chicken parts in a bag of flour/salt/pepper. No soaking in anything. Then gently into the frying pan of hot Crisco, cover with lid for...??minutes. Turn pieces once, cover with lid...for ?? minutes. Uncover and fry for a few more minutes. Perfection. Crispy crust, not greasy.

But, like pizza, most fried chicken is good enough no matter what.

The recipe didn't call for frozen gravy, but I had some homemade frozen gravy from a recent meal. It was either that, or powdered gravy for the mashed potatoes.

"But, like pizza, most fried chicken is good enough no matter what."

HAHA, truer words were never spoken!

Soo....?? Results?

The chicken was outstanding, but I'm not certain that it wouldn't have been equally excellent had I not soaked it in milk. The chicken was crazy moist, however.................much like broasted chicken.
