PERFECT SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN

INGREDIENTSNutrition

  • 1whole chicken, cut into 10 pieces (2 legs, 2 thighs, 2 wings, 4 breast)
  • 4cups water
  • 3teaspoons salt
  • 1cup buttermilk
  • 2eggs
  • 1tablespoon Season-All salt
  • 1cup flour
  • 2tablespoonscornmeal
  • 2teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2teaspoons Season-All salt
  • vegetable oil orshortening (for frying)
  2. Shake to coat.
  3. Place on wire rack to rest.
  4. (I place wax paper under the rack to catch any flour that falls off.) Heat a shallow layer of oil or shortening to 360 F in a jumbo chicken skillet (cast iron is great for this job) or an electric skillet.
  5. Place the chicken in the pan, trying not to crowd the pieces.
  6. Cover for the first five minutes.
  7. Check the chicken.
  8. When golden brown, turn.
  9. Cover for the next five minutes.
  10. Remove cover and cook uncovered, turning occasionally, as needed for a total of an additional 20 minutes or until cooked through.
  11. Watch carefully, and don't allow it to get too dark.
  12. If it's frying too fast, reduce heat slightly.
  13. NOTE- the key is to cover in the beginning to start the cooking process inside the chicken, but to uncover during the last part of the cooking time to get the outside nice and crispy and golden brown.
  14.
