Ingredients
1 whole fryer, no larger than 5 pounds, if possible, cut up. I like to cut the wishbone so there are 9 pieces.
1 C flour
1/2 Tbsp. paprika
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
oil for frying
Gravy ingredients
2 Tbsp. of oil from frying the chicken. Keep the brown bits that that form in the grease.
2 Tbsp. flour
salt and pepper to taste
1 1/3 C milk
1 tsp. chicken bouillon
Directions
CHICKEN
1. Mix flour and seasoning together in a pie pan.
2. Coat each piece of chicken in the flour mixture.
3. Let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes before frying.
4. Heat oil in skillet to about 350 degrees. Add chicken. Watch oil, make sure the oil temperature doesn’t drop too much. If it gets to low, the chicken will be soggy. Adjust the temperature accordingly. Make sure the oil isn’t too hot, you will burn the outside and the inside will not be cooked through. Also, do not crowd the pan.
5. Remove from oil and keep warm in a 350 degree oven.
GRAVY
1. Reserve 2 Tbsp oil from oil frying along with the brown bits.
2. Add flour to oil and stir in flour and salt until blended.
3. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly.
4. Once smooth, add the chicken bouillon and continue stirring until thickened to desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve immediately with mashed potatoes.
