Ingredients

Lanas best Ga. Southern Fried Chicken

1 teaspoon salt

2 eggs

1 1/2 cups buttermilk

1 (2 1/2-3 pound) broiler-fryer, cut up

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

1 cup all-purpose flour

3 cups vegetable oil

1/4 cup bacon drippings (optional, but GOOD!)

Directions

(Please note, I have posted my fried chicken Cream Gravy recipe! :)

Wash chicken very well and pat dry. Use approximately the (first) 1 tsp. salt on the chicken prior to breading it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Note:

I find that chicken fresh from the store (or farm) is much better than chicken that has been frozen.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mix buttermilk and eggs and litely beat the two together.

Put each piece of chicken indivually into the egg mixture.

Combine remaining salt/pepper 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. (This makes a fairl thick crust)

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.

Makes 4 servings

You should have some crispy pieces in the bottom of the pan after you pour up your grease. (this I use to make my chicken (or sometimes 'Georgia Cream' Gravy.

I have never made fried chicken, believe it or not, but this is very tempting. Would a deep fryer work and what would be the times if it did? Great post! I'm heading for the gravy recipe next.

HI Betty,
Yes a deep fryer will work fine..you may also
use this same recipe for chicken tenders, if
desired. :) Take your time, it is easy!
