Ingredients

2-1/2 to 3 lbs. of chicken, cut into peices

1 c. buttermilk (or 1 cup of milk with 1 T. vingegar)

1 c. flour

2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. pepper

oil for frying

To make the Gravy:

3 T. flour

1 c. milk

1 c. water

1 to 2 tsp. salt

1/2 to 1 tsp. pepper

Directions

Place the chicken into a large ziplock bag. Add buttermilk and refrigerate for 1 hour. In another ziplock bag, combine the flour, salt and pepper. Toss the chicken, one at a time, in the flour and place on wax paper for 15 minutes. Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a skillet. Add chicken and brown on both sides. Reduce heat, cover and cook the chicken for 25-30 minutes. Turn the chicken every 5 minutes. Remove the chicken and pour out the oil leaving about 1/4 cup of drippings with the crunchies.

To make the Gravy:

In the hot drippings, stir in the flour, salt and pepper. Add the milk and water. Stir and cook until it reaches your desired thickness.

I've always had problems making fried chicken, I usually let the Colonel do it! Does it matter which side, bone or skin that you put down first?

Just a note to answer morninlite's question...I put the skin side down first when frying chicken to get a start on a good crust. If you're cooking legs (like I usually am for the kids), the side doesn't matter, but I do try to brown all the sides when I turn it during cooking. Hope this helps. You don't need the Colonel for good chicken- you can do it!

Mmmmm, mmmmm good! This is how I prepare my fried chicken and always have ever since I woke up to using zip lock bags ;) I toss in a few more seasonings but it's basically the same. High 5!
