ELLEN'S CRISPY FRIED CHICKEN
Back in the day, I've made a lot of fried chicken for my family but since I've been living alone I just don't often go to the trouble. I just resurrected my recipe because I've missed it and the kids and the boyfriend love it! I hope you will too. 04-25-15

Steps:
- 1. Rinse chicken and pat dry; set aside. In a shallow bowl or flat dish, mix together the flour and the seasonings. Heat oil in a large skillet.
- 2. While the oil is heating, dredge chicken pieces well in the seasoned flour. Be sure to cover all sides. Place coated pieces in the hot oil and set heat on medium high.
- 3. Brown chicken on all sides, being careful not to burn it. When it has browned to your liking, reduce heat to low, add 1/4 cup of water, and cover.
- 4. Cook chicken, covered, for about 40 minutes or until fork-tender. Remove lid, turn heat up to medium-high, and add a little more oil if needed. Re-brown the chicken until it has a crispy crust.
- 5. Remove chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Place in a warm oven while preparing the gravy.
- 6. TO MAKE GRAVY: Pour all but 1/4 cup oil from skillet. Scrape pan to loosen browned pieces of batter. Remove skillet from heat and stir in 1/4 cup seasoned flour. Place skillet over low heat; cook and stir flour until lightly browned. Slowly add 2 cups milk, stirring to reduce lumping. Add more seasoning if desired. Serve with mashed potatoes or biscuits, or bread, and over chicken.
ELLENS CHICKEN RECIPE
This chicken recipe is from a cookbook a group I belong to (Ellen submited this one) put out to raise money - it was a huge success and I get inspiration from it weekly. This is by far my families favorite - the smell while its cooking is unbelievably good! I generally use skinless chicken thighs. Hope you love it as much as we do.

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.

SOUTHERN LIVING'S BEST FRIED CHICKEN
Many modern cooks have never learned to fry. We are convinced that fried food is unhealthy, unpopular and messy. But Norman King, a lifelong Southerner, a registered dietitian and a food editor at Southern Living magazine set out to change that. In "The Way to Fry," he offers both a guide to proper deep-frying technique, and a terrific recipe for crunchy, juicy fried chicken. While at first glance the recipe may resemble every other fried chicken you've ever seen, the differences lie in the precise instructions, ensuring chicken that's cooked through, golden and crisp. A little bacon fat is an option for flavor.

Steps:
- Combine 1 tablespoon salt with 3 quarts water in a large bowl or container. Add chicken, cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight. Drain, rinse with cold water and pat dry.
- Stir together remaining 1 teaspoon salt and the black pepper. Sprinkle half the mixture evenly over chicken.
- In a large sealable plastic bag, combine remaining pepper mixture and flour. Add 2 pieces chicken to bag and shake well to coat. Remove chicken pieces, shaking off extra flour, and set aside. Repeat with remaining chicken.
- Take a large (10- or 12-inch) cast-iron skillet or chicken fryer, for which you have a lid, and fit with a candy or deep-frying thermometer. Add oil and bacon drippings and heat to 360 degrees over medium heat; the oil will ripple and possibly give off a few wisps of smoke.
- Using tongs, immediately add chicken pieces, skin side down (work in batches if necessary to avoid crowding pan). The oil will drop to about 325 degrees, where it should stay; adjust heat so that oil is bubbling gently around the pieces. Cover and cook 6 minutes; uncover and cook 9 minutes. Turn chicken pieces; cover and cook 6 minutes. Uncover and cook another 5 to 9 minutes, depending on size of pieces. If necessary for even browning, turn pieces over a few times toward the end.
- Drain on paper towels or paper bags. Let cool at least 20 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Rinse the chicken pieces and pat dry. Beat the eggs and water together in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, stir together the flour, paprika, salt and pepper. Dip the chicken pieces first in the egg mixture, then in the flour. Coat them well, shaking off any excess. Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or large deep skillet to 375 degrees. It should be hot, but not smoking. Lower the heat slightly, and fry the chicken in the oil in small batches until golden and crisp all over, 10-15 minutes. Drain the chick on paper towels. Serve hot or at room temperature, with lemon wedges.
