For dinner tonight I made my Grandma's fried chicken recipe. Sally Walters made the best fried chicken.... ever. My mom and dad and sisters used the same recipe. It goes a little something like this:
Use a fork to poke holes in the drumstick and thighs. Salt and pepper the chicken and coat with flour. Cook in electric skilled at 350 degrees with the vent open... or use a regular large skillet like I did...
Use enough vegetable oil or shortening to cover the pieces half way. Do not crowd the chicken. Turn when crisp and brown (about 10-15 minutes per side). I just made wings tonight and 8 minutes per side was perfect.
Gravy
Drain oil leaving 2 tablespoons of grease and all the crumbs (yum!). Add 1/2 cup of flour and stir. While stirring over low heat add milk and stir until the gravy thickens (4-5 min). Add milk slowly to desired thickness. Salt and pepper the gravy to taste.
Tonight we had the fried chicken wings with mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, and Stovetop Savory Herb stuffing.
