Southern Style Fried Chicken

• 3 lbs chicken pieces
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 ½ cups milk or buttermilk
• Shortening or peanut oil for frying
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Paprika

Southern Fried Chicken Recipe Instructions :

First of all wash the chicken and pat each piece dry.

And then dip the chicken pieces in the milk or buttermilk and arrange them on wax paper.
Next is to sprinkle salt, paprika and pepper over them and dredge them in flour.
Leave the chicken to stand for 20 minutes and then dredge it again in the flour.
Heat the shortening or oil in a deep skillet so it comes 1 inch up the side.
Use an instant read thermometer to tell when the oil reaches 375 degrees F.
Cook 4 or 5 pieces of chicken at once in the skillet, keeping an eye on the temperature.
Do not cook too many pieces at once, else the oil temperature will fall a lot and this can make the chicken coating soggy.
Use tongs to turn the chicken so you don't puncture the meat.
Transfer the cooked chicken pieces to a platter and cook the other batch.
Put all the chicken back in the skillet, turn the heat to low and cover it.
You can stack the chicken if you need to.
Cook the chicken gently for 20 minutes or until it is tender.
Keep moving the chicken so it browns evenly.
Take the cover off the skillet and turn the heat back up to medium high to make the chicken crispy.

Make sure the chicken doesn't burn. Drain it and transfer it to a serving platter.
You can also keep it on a rack in the oven to keep it warm.(Serves 6 persons), enjoy it !

A nice Southern Fried Chicken Recipe to try !
Southern Fried Chicken Recipe Ingredients
* 1 frying chicken (3-4 lbs) cut into pieces
* 4 cups salt brine (recipe below)
* 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
* 1 tablespoon salt
* 1 tablespoon pepper
* 1 tablespoon garlic powder
* 1 tablespoon onion powder
* 1 tablespoon paprika
* 1 tablespoon ground sage
* 1 cup flour
* vegetable oil to fill skillet 3-4 inches deep

Southern Fried Chicken Recipe INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make the salt brine by dissolving 1/2 cup salt in 4 cups of cold water.
2. Place chicken parts in a large glass bowl, add enough salt brine to cover, cover with plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator to soak 1 hour (overnight if possible).
3. Drain off the salt brine and add 1 1/2 cups buttermilk to the bowl.
Allow the chicken to soak in the buttermilk for 30 minutes (2 hours if possible) turning the chicken several times to make sure all the pieces get to soak.
4. On a large plate combine salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and sage with 1 cup of flour.
5. In a very large, heavy skillet, add vegetable oil to 3-4 inches deep, and heat over a medium heat. Test the temperature by dropping a pinch of flour into the hot oil. If it sizzles right away without smoking, it's perfect.
6. Dredge each piece of the buttermilk-coated chicken in the seasoned flour and place, skin side down, in the skillet. Do not allow pieces to touch each other.
7. Cover the pan with a loose fitting lid to vent some of the steam and cook to a deep golden brown (approx. 15 min.). Turn the chicken over with tongs and cook an additional 15 minutes or until deep golden brown. Chicken is done if there is no sign of pink near the bone.
8. Drain the cooked chicken on paper towels.
