Southern
Fried Chicken with Gravy
Serves 4
Truly Southern comfort food.
Fried Chicken:
1 (2-1/2 to 3-pound) fryer chicken, cut into serving
pieces
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
Vegetable shortening (preferably Crisco brand)
Gravy:
3 tablespoons reserved chicken grease
4 tablespoons reserved seasoned flour
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
12 ounces water
Salt and pepper to taste
1. Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl or pan.
Sprinkle with 1
tablespoon salt and the baking soda and cover with cold
water. Cover
and refrigerate for 1
hour.
2 .Remove chicken from the water and drain thoroughly.
Allow to sit
for about 10 minutes.
3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, poultry
seasoning,
paprika and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Reserve 4 tablespoons of
the seasoned
flour.
4. Dredge the chicken pieces in the seasoned flour.
Remove and place
in a single layer on a baking sheet. Let sit for at least
5 minutes,
then dredge the chicken a second time in the seasoned
flour.
5. Meanwhile, melt shortening (1 1/2 to 2-inches deep
melted) in a
large, high-sided skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high
heat and
heat until it reaches a temperature of 350*F (175*C).
6. When the melted shortening has reached the desired
temperature,
carefully place the prepared chicken pieces, bone-side
down, in the
skillet. Cover the pan and cook until nicely browned,
about 12 to 15 minutes. Turn the chicken pieces over,
cover and cook an additional 12 to 15 minutes or
until the juices run clear when tested. Remove the cover
and continue cooking just long enough to crisp the
chicken. Remove chicken and drain on a brown
paper bag lined with paper towels. Keep warm.
7. To make the gravy: Drain all but 3 tablespoons of the
grease in
the skillet. Heat over medium heat and stir in the
reserved 3
tablespoons seasoned flour.
Reduce the heat to low and cook for 2 minutes, stirring
constantly,
scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan.
Slowly add the
evaporated milk and water, stirring constantly until
gravy is thickened and smooth.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
