Answer 2

The best southern fried chicken is made by thousands of southern grandmas every Sunday. It starts with a young chicken they put the eye on Saturday morning, and dispatched Saturday afternoon. Then they plucked and cleaned it, cut it up and soaked it overnight in buttermilk and spices- usually a good dash of salt, and pepper- but it varies from grandma to grandma. The next day after church, they drained the buttermilk off. They rolled the chicken parts in flour seasoned with the same group of spices that went into the buttermilk. Then they dip it in beaten egg and back into the flour. While they are dipping and rolling all those chicken parts, they are heating up either lard or Crisco shortening in a cast iron "chicken fryer", which has a cast iron lid to match. When the fat is hot enough to suit them, they drop in the battered chicken pieces, and pop the lid on- leaving enough open edge for the steam to escape. When the pieces start browning or floating- she sticks in her trusty cooking fork and turns the pieces over. She'll use the same fork to fish out pieces that are nice and done, putting them on a platter lined with paper towels. If there is a large group to feed, she may have two or three skillets going at the same time, if not she'll fry the rest in batches and the rest will sit by the side of the stove.
When all the chicken is cooked, she'll drain off all the fat except a few tablespoons and be sure to keep all the little fried bits at the bottom. When the fat gets really good and hot- she'll stir in some flour, salt and loads of pepper- stir it up til it takes on a bit of color, and then pour in the milk. If grandma really wants things special it will be whole milk, with all the cream. Otherwise you just get skimmed milk. When it all bubbles and thickens, she pours it into the official gravy boat for the table.
Lacking grandmas exact measuring eye- there is no really good "recipe" for fried chicken. It takes that hand of experience that comes with time and practice, and it's more love than seasoning choices. You just have to fry a lot of chicken. And grandma's will always taste better, no matter what you do.

Our Best Southern Fried Chicken:

3 quarts water
1 tablespoon salt
1 (2- to 2 1/2-pound) broiler-fryer, cut up
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups vegetable oil
1/4 cup bacon drippings

Combine water and 1 tablespoon salt in a large bowl; add chicken. Cover and chill 8 hours. Drain chicken; rinse with cold water, and pat dry.

Combine 1 teaspoon salt and pepper; sprinkle half of pepper mixture evenly over chicken. Combine remaining pepper mixture and flour in a large freezer bag. Place 2 pieces of chicken in bag; seal. Shake to evenly coat. Remove chicken, and repeat procedure with remaining chicken, 2 pieces at a time.

Combine vegetable oil and bacon drippings in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or chicken fryer; heat to 360°. Add chicken, a few pieces at a time, skin side down. Cover and cook 6 minutes; uncover and cook 9 minutes.

Turn chicken pieces; cover and cook 6 minutes. Uncover and cook 5 to 9 minutes, turning pieces during the last 3 minutes for even browning, if necessary. Drain on paper towels.

Note: For best results, keep the oil temperature between 300° to 325° as you fry the chicken. Also, you may substitute 2 cups buttermilk for the saltwater solution used to soak the chicken pieces. Proceed as directed.

Answer 5

Do you like it a little spicy? Try this: Cut chicken into serving pieces. We like dark meat, so we use leg quarters (MUCH cheaper), and separate leg from thigh. In a large bowl, beat an egg with 1/2 tsp. ground red pepper. Let it sit in fridge a couple of hours. When ready to cook, fill a double-bagged Wal-Mart (or other, of course) plastic bag with House-Autrey Medium Hot Breader, and shake (I didn't really mean FILL, just enough to coat). At this point, you can deep-fry it about 25 minutes, or until you can cut the thickest part of a piece and the juices run clear, or you can do what I do. Oven-fry. I don't like all the yukky grease. To oven-fry, spray a broiler pan rack with Pam, place coated pieces on it, and place in preheated 450 oven. Bake 20 minutes, turn, and bake another 20". Test for doneness, bake a little longer if not to your liking. Oh yeah, spray top side of chicken with Pam before baking. Not necessary to spray again after turning.

Answer 6

Soak the chicken in buttermilk with about 3 tablespoons hot sauce (dosen't make it hot just adds loads of flavor) for at least a few hours preferably overnight. drain.
Mix flower, salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder, poultry seasoning in a plastic bag
Egg wash (egg and milk) in a bowl
Lay chicken on a paper towel dip into egg wash then shake in bag place on a plate to rest for a few minutes before putting in oil.
Cook in a large cast iron skillet on med heat with about a quarter inch of hot oil place thigh peices in the middle (they take longer to cook and the midddle of the pan is the hottest part. Cook each side approximately 12 minutes until juices run clear when punctured.
When chicken is done drain on paper towel lined plate
