Here is my favorite.
Southern-Fried Chicken
1 3 lb chicken, cut up
1/3 cup butter milk
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup lard
1. Combine flour, salt and pepper in a paper or plastic bag. Dip chicken in the buttermilk. Shake one or two pieces of chicken in bag to coat.
2. In a large deep cast iron frying pan, melt lard over medium-high heat to 375 degrees. I use the splatter test, put a little water on your fingers and flip it into the grease, when it splatters the heat is right. Add chicken pieces and cook turning frequently until brown and crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain on paler towels

This fried chicken recipe makes enough for about 8 people. Scroll down to see more fried chicken recipes, including oven fried chicken recipes.
INGREDIENTS:
2 frying chickens, about 2 1/2 to 3 pounds each, cut into serving pieces
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup milk
vegetable shortening for frying
1 tablespoon bacon drippings
PREPARATION:
Wash chicken and pat dry.
In a heavy brown paper bag or large food storage bag, combine the flour and salt and pepper; shake to blend well. Pour the milk into a wide shallow bowl.
Heat 2 to 3 inches of shortening in a deep heavy skillet over medium heat, or electric fry pan set at 375° F.
Add the bacon grease. When a drop of water spatters when it hits the hot oil, dip some of the chicken pieces into the milk then place in the bag and shake to coat evenly. Arrange the chicken pieces in the fat, making sure not to overcrowd. Fry the chicken until outside is golden brown and crisp, about 15 to 20 minutes, turning once to brown both sides. Reduce heat to 350° F and fry until cooked through golden brown, about 15 minutes longer. Turn once. Drain chicken on brown paper or paper towels, adding a little more shortening and bacon grease if necessary, setting or regulating the temperature as for the first batch.
Transfer the chicken to a large platter for serving.
Serves 8.

I don't know how southern it is but when I fry chicken, I wash the chicken well, soak it in salt water for about 10 minutes or while I'm making my flour mixture.
flour mixture is about 2 cups flour, garlic, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, 1 chicken bullion cube, Italian seasoning, oregano, Lawry's Season Salt. Season the flour heavily,I do the taste test to see if its seasoned right.
rinse chicken, pat dry, season the chicken with pepper, Lawry's and whatever spices you like.
Coat chicken in flour and fry in hot shortening.
Crisp on side well turn over, crisp till golden, then put a lid over it and simmer about 20-30 minutes, till done.
It always comes out good, but I don't make the breaded chicken like some.

I do fried chicken two different ways. One is to roll my chicken pieces in a mixture of flour, seasoning salt, garlic salt, paprika, black pepper and chili powder. Then I fry slowly in my electric skillet for about 1 hour at 250 degrees. Put the lid on the skillet, only pick it up every 15 minutes to turn the chicken. My aunt makes her fried chicken this way, she taught me and although mine doesn't turn out as well as hers its still pretty good.
The other (and more simple) way I make fried chicken is to marinate my chicken pieces in Kraft Ranch Dressing for about 30 - 45 minutes, then roll it in Extra Crispy Shake and Bake. Then I put the chicken in a casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Techinally it isn't fried, but my husband says it is the best fried chicken he has ever eaten.
Hope this helps you out!

I agree with Chris W; you can't go wrong with Paula Deen. If I want to cook something 'Southern' I usually use her recipes and tips. She is awesome!
