Real Southern Fried Chicken
Ingredients -
3 ½ lbs chicken pieces
3 teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup butter
¾ cup all purpose flour
Vegetable oil, for frying
Preparation:
Sprinkle ⅔ of the salt over the chicken, then coat it with wax paper and refrigerate it overnight or for at least 8 hours.
Pour 1 inch of oil into a skillet and add the butter to it.
Heat the fat to 375 degrees F. Rinse the salt off the chicken.
Add the flour and pepper to a bag, as well as the remaining salt.
Add half the chicken to the bag and shake it well to coat.
Repeat with the other half of the chicken pieces.
Arrange the chicken in the skillet, not letting the pieces touch.
You will have to cook it in batches if the skillet is not big enough for this.
Cook the chicken pieces for about 15 minutes or until they are golden brown all over, turning them once.
If you are cooking in batches, keep the cooked chicken pieces warm in an oven heated to 200 degrees F.
Drain the chicken on paper towels.
