Fried Chicken Little House On The Prairie Recipes

Steps:

• Place chicken pieces in a large bowl and sprinkle with vinegar and salt.
• Cover with cold water and set aside (I put it in the fridge) for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• After 30 minutes (or so) heat the oil in a frying pan (I use a cast iron skillet) over medium/high heat. Let the oil come up 1/4 to 1/2 way up the sides of the pan.
• Drain chicken and, one at a time, coat with flour.
• Fry the chicken in hot oil until brown on all sides.
• You can either finish the chicken in oven or lower the heat, so it doesn't burn, and cook the chicken through in the pan.

Steps:

• 1. Combine flour, old bay, salt and pepper in a large zip.lock bag, close bag and shake until ingredients are mixed.
• 2. Drop in chicken pieces, seal bag and shake until pieces are evenly coated. (Alternately, you may also combine dry ingredients with a fork in a pie plate or a similar shallow container, and dredge chicken pieces in the flour mixture to coat.)
• 3. Heat oil in frying pan over high heat until a drop of water sizzles.Take chicken pieces and place them in the pan, skin side down. COVER, reduce heat to Med./High and cook for 15 minutes.
• 4. Remove lid, turn chicken over and cook for 15 more minutes. (if chicken is not browning enough increase heat to High for last 15 minutes)
• 5. When chicken is done, drain on paper towels. Serve immediately or keep warm in 190 degree oven.
