DEEP-FRIED CHICKEN (BUT LOW FAT!)
Old family recipe, so simple that guests refuse to believe that I'm not hiding some secret ingredient! Removing the skin from the chicken greatly reduces the fat content, but the chicken is moist and tasty, with a lovely brown crust. It's labor intensive, but worth every minute!

Steps:
- Cut the chicken into pieces.
- Remove skin and extra fat from each piece (except wings -- too hard!).
- When all pieces are skinned and rinsed, salt each piece on both sides and put into a large bowl.
- Cover bowl and allow to sit in refrigerator overnight, if possible, but at least for an hour or two.
- Heat your recycled shortening (see below) in dutch oven.
- Pour milk into a medium bowl, and flour into another.
- When the shortening is hot enough, roll a piece of chicken in the flour, then dip into the milk, then roll in flour again.
- Carefully drop each piece into hot oil. If the shortening is hot enough, the chicken will float. Depending on the size of your kettle, a whole chicken might be 4-6 batches; just don't overload the kettle.
- Larger pieces may need to be turned over.
- Remove pieces with tongs when golden brown; place on paper towels to drain.
- Serve hot, but it's great cold the next day!
- Recycled shortening: Crisco, for example, comes in a 3-lb. "can" (in quotes because it's cardboard, not metal). The first time you make this chicken, use a full can. When the cooking is done and the shortening has cooled somewhat, pour the liquid into a container (metal coffee can, or similar) except for the brown sludge at the bottom (residue from flour, etc,) which is thrown out. Save the shortening, covered, in your refrigerator until next time. Add enough fresh shortening to the kettle to replace the part you threw out. P.S. When starting with all fresh shortening, adding a little bacon grease will improve flavor of your first batch of chicken.

Steps:
- In a medium pan, place chicken and cover with milk. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours to overnight. This helps tenderize the meat, but is optional
- In a large saucepan over a medium-high heat, using tongs, transfer chicken into pot, then pour in the milk. Bring milk to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low allowing to simmer until the chicken is cooked through entirely, about 20 minutes. Remove the chicken from the milk, and place on a rack to cool. Allow them to sit until warm about 15 minutes, and then pat dry using a kitchen towel.
- Heat vegetable shortening in a Dutch oven over high heat just until it's nearly at the smoking point around 325 degrees F.
- In a large zip-lock bag, add salt, flour, cayenne pepper, shake to combine.
- In a medium bowl, beat 1 egg.
- Place each piece of chicken, 1 at a time, in the bag and shake to coat the chicken. Then dip chicken into the egg to coat. Place the chicken back into the flour to coat for a second time. Repeat this method on remaining 3 pieces of chicken.
- Gently drop each piece of chicken into hot oil, allowing the skin to crisp and turn golden brown in color, about 1 minute per side. Remove from the oil and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve immediately.
BAKED-UP FRIED CHICKEN, LOW FAT

Steps:
- . Preheat oven to 450F (230C).
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and set a wire rack on top.
- Spray rack with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk buttermilk with egg white, add chicken and turn to evenly coat.
- Measure flour, salt, garlic powder, oregano, chili powder and baking powder into a large plastic bag.
- Close top and gently shake to evenly mix.
- Remove chicken, one piece at a time, from buttermilk and shake off excess liquid, then place in bag.
- Close top and shake gently to evenly coat.
- Remove from bag, shaking off excess coating, then place on rack, repeat with remaining chicken, one piece at a time.
- Discard any remaining milk and flour mixtures.
- Using a brush, lightly dab oil as evenly as possible over coating on chicken.
- Bake in centre of preheated oven until coating is crisp and golden, about 30 minutes.
- TIP:.
- If you have time, let chicken marinate in buttermilk before roasting. This makes it even more tender and adds tang, too! Place chicken and buttermilk mixture in a large plastic bag. Push chicken down into marinade, then squeeze out as much air as possible from bag. Seal tightly with an elastic band as close to chicken as possible. Place in a large bowl. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Then proceed with recipe as written.
CRISPY FRIED CHICKEN
Steps:
- Season the chicken pieces with Essence. Pour 2 cups of the buttermilk over the chicken and cover with plastic wrap. Place the chicken in the refrigerator and marinate for 1 hour.
- Heat the oil in a large cast iron skillet. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and drain. Season the flour with Essence. In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with the remaining buttermilk. Dredge each piece of chicken in the seasoned flour. Dip each piece of chicken in the egg wash, letting the excess drip off. Dredge the chicken pieces back in the seasoned flour, coating each piece of the chicken completely. Carefully lay the chicken in the hot oil. Fry the chicken for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the juices run clear. Remove the chicken from the oil and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

SKILLET FRIED CHICKEN BREAST (LOWER FAT)
The chicken is not deep fried and is made using boneless skinless breasts which makes this a lower fat dish, also you may omit pounding the chicken but cooking time will need to be increased slightly, you may adjust seasonings to suit taste --- this is *very* good!

SECRET INGREDIENT BEST JUICY FRIED CHICKEN
The chicken soup and cornstarch is the secret ingredient to this delicious mouth watering juicy fried chicken, if desired you may brown the chicken pieces firstly in a little oil then finish cooking in the oven, don't bother using a different flavor of condensed soup it will not be good, this also works well using skin on chicken thighs or drumsticks, it's best to use all the same so the chicken will cook at the same time, there is enough batter for 6 large skin on chicken thighs --- plan slightly ahead as the coated chicken needs to sit at room temperature until it becomes doughy --- this is delicious!

Steps:
- In a shallow dish or bowl combine egg with soup and 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt; mix until thoroughly combined.
- Add the chicken pieces and using your clean hands toss to coat completely; set aside or you may refrigerate until ready to finish making the recipe.
- In a medium bowl mix together flour with cornstarch, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, paprika, 1 teaspoon seasoned salt and black pepper.
- Working with one piece of chicken at a time, place the soup-coated chicken into the flour mixture and toss to coat completely.
- Add more flour and/or cornstarch if necessary adding them in equal parts (there should be an equal amount of each in the mixture, if you add in 2 tablespoons flour you must add in 2 tablespoons cornstarch with the flour).
- Place the coated chicken on a rack and allow to sit until it becomes doughy (THIS IS A CRUCIAL STEP to ensure crispiness when fried).
- Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat (be certain to use enough oil to cover the chicken pieces).
- Once the chicken is doughy test oil by dropping in a piece of the "dough" into it the oil is ready when it stars to fry immediately.
- Fry chicken pieces in oil for about 10 minutes or until cooked through and juices run clear.
- Drain on a rack.

KENTUCKY DEEP FRYER FRIED CHICKEN RECIPE
Adapted from a recipe found on the internet and made in my vintage sunbeam fryer/cooker. This is awesome! For the chicken pieces, make sure that they are not too big: whole drumstick, whole thigh, but the breast part should be chopped into two. Its also helpful to use the fryer cover-it helps the meat cook through properly.

CRISPY FRIED CHICKEN
I experimented for many years before developing this recipe. It's bits and pieces of hints I had heard over the years. I have had many compliments on this chicken. Most of this recipe is dependant on your own taste. It's more a matter of preparation and cooking method!

Steps:
- Take your cut up chicken pieces and skin them if you prefer. Put the flour in a large plastic bag (let the amount of chicken you are cooking dictate the amount of flour you use). Season the flour with paprika, salt and pepper to taste (paprika helps to brown the chicken).
- Dip chicken pieces in buttermilk then, a few at a time, put them in the bag with the flour, seal the bag and shake to coat well. Place the coated chicken on a cookie sheet or tray, and cover with a clean dish towel or waxed paper. LET SIT UNTIL THE FLOUR IS OF A PASTE-LIKE CONSISTENCY. THIS IS CRUCIAL!
- Fill a large skillet (cast iron is best) about 1/3 to 1/2 full with vegetable oil. Heat until VERY hot. Put in as many chicken pieces as the skillet can hold. Brown the chicken in HOT oil on both sides. When browned, reduce heat and cover skillet; let cook for 30 minutes (the chicken will be cooked through but not crispy). Remove cover, raise heat again and continue to fry until crispy.
- Drain the fried chicken on paper towels. Depending on how much chicken you have, you may have to fry in a few shifts. Keep the finished chicken in a slightly warm oven while preparing the rest.
