Southern Fried Chicken
In Angelo’s words
Like you, I’d love to be able to fry chicken like “KFC”, but I can’t seem to justify the cost of a pressure deep fryer unit. However we can come very close to the flavor. And that is exactly what we have attempted to do in this recipe. This recipe serves four.
You’ll need: 1 frying chicken, sectioned into pieces. I section the chicken by quartering the chicken and then cutting the legs at the knee joints yielding six pieces.
In our case I find most people prefer the white meat of the chicken so we usually substitute with chicken breasts. It seems most kids prefer the drumstick so if we’re cooking for kids too we’ll throw a chicken in the mix as well. I cut the breasts in half and count each half as a piece, or two halves to a serving. Use your own discretion to determine whatever number of chicken breasts and/or pieces needed.
Keep in mind, the ingredients in this recipe should be sufficient enough for a serving of four. So if you need more or less you need to adjust accordingly. Of course, I prefer to over prepare, or double prepare, and freeze what I don’t intend to serve, this way all I need do the next time we feel like fried chicken, is take it out of the freezer the day before and thaw it in the refrigerator until its cooked the next day.
