Ingredients

at least

4 pieces each of

chicken drumsticks and

chicken thighs

(i dont use chicken breast, they are too big)

1 cup flour (approx.)

white pepper, freshly ground

1 teasp. salt

1 small teaspoon sweet red paprika powder

crisco

milk

Directions

heat large skillet with at least

1 cup of crisco, high heat

wash chicken pieces

put flour, salt, pepper, paprika into plastic bag

put two chicken pieces at a time into bag, shake

put chicken pieces in skillet,

after about 2 minutes, reduce heat to min.,

cover

after 15 minutes, remove lid

turn chicken carefully, heat on high, about 3-5 minutes

cover

after about 15 minutes, remove lid

turn chicken

turn up heat (careful not to burn or flour will get bitter)

after about 5 minutes, turn heat to medium

let chicken cook for a few more minutes

taste for crispyness with finger - then decide if it needs more time, it depends on the chicken you've bought - bio or not, young or old...

remove chicken from skillet

drain on paper towels

tip pan to remove all fat, leaving the beautiful brown residue,

pour milk into skillet

bring to boil, stirring constantly

it takes a few minutes, then flour will desolve, making a lovely, goey, tasty gravy.

your may want to keep adding mild or chicken stock to get the consistence you want.

normally, you need no more salt or other spices, maybe just a dash of worcester sauce.
