Steps:
- Wash chicken pieces and place in a deep bowl. Cover with buttermilk and hot sauce, and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
- Melt shortening in a cast iron skillet to a depth of about 1 inch.
- Heat to about 370º. (No thermometer needed, really. It'll get hot enough while chicken rests AFTER coating if you have your flame on about medium.) If it starts to smoke, turn it down immediately a bit.
- In a doubled brown paper lunch sack, mix together all of the dry ingredients.
- Remove chicken from bowl.
- Using additional seasoned salt and pepper, lightly coat to season chicken.
- Place chicken in bag, one piece at a time. Shake well until thoroughly coated.
- Dip each piece in the buttermilk and coat with flour once again.
- Shake off excess; place on waxed paper for 15 minutes or until dry.
- Place chicken, skin side down, in hot shortening.
- Do not crowd skillet.
- Brown until golden on bottom (good)(skin) side. When chicken pieces are golden on one side, turn pieces over, cover with tight fitting lid, and reduce heat to a simmer, turning chicken pieces ocaisionally, for 35 to 40 minutes or until juices run clear and chicken is tender. *When lid is placed on, and heat is reduced to a good simmer, the good side of pieces are the top sides. After about 10 minutes, turn back to skin-side down. After another 10 minutes or so, turn back to skin-side up for the last 10-15 minutes.).
- Uncover and cook 5 minutes longer for "crispy on the outside" crust. Remove at once, skipping this step, if a softer outside is preferred. My grandma and great aunts always drained their fried chicken on brown paper grocery bags. This seems to work best for me, too. Paper towels work "ok", too. *If doubling or making alot of chicken, or just wanting to keep it warm til the rest of your side dishes are done and ready to serve, place chicken on brown paper bag-lined cookie sheet in very low oven. GREAT cold, too!
- 4-6 servings.
- To make chicken fingers:.
- Use 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips about a 1/2-3/4 " thick. I skipped the buttermilk and hot sauce part, and dipped them into the flour mixture first, then into 1 egg beaten with about a half of a cup of half and half cream and a little hot sauce. Then back into the flour mixture. Worked out PERFECTLY. I lightly browned them in hot oil on one side, turned them, then put a lid on them. I then only cooked them for 8 minutes. I removed the lid, turned them and cooked them another minute. Drained them on paper towel.YUM!
- *One extra tip: Don't ever turn chicken by piercing with a fork, all the juices will run out and the meat will be dry. Always use tongs and have a sharp spatula handy to get underneath just in case a little bit wants to stick. You don't want to lose that good breading! :).

GRANDMA'S DIXIE FRIED CHICKEN
This was something my grandmother used to make. She passed away a few years ago, and I just recently was given her recipe indexes. I will be posting some of my childhood favorites as a tribute to her. Like many old time recipes, the spices are pretty bland. Feel free to kick this one up with garlic, chili peppers, or whatever you'd like!

GREAT GRANDMA'S FRIED CHICKEN!
Great Grandmother Kennedy use to make this for us at least once a week. This was her small batch! We had a very large family... The Great Grandmother, The Grandmother, my parents, my siblings and myself, and there were usually about 12 cousins and friends hanging around! Great Grandmother would make big batches of chicken up...

DIXIE FRIED CHICKEN
I think "Dixie Fry" boxed chicken breading makes the best coating for fried chicken. Why waste precious time salting and peppering flour? Marinating in canned chicken stock really brings out the chicken flavor, and I think chicken stock makes a better liquid to seal the breading with, than say plain water, or milk:

Steps:
- Pour canned Chicken Stock into wide shallow pan.
- Marinate chicken in the chicken stock overnight in the refrigerator, or for two to three hours in fridge.
- If using unsalted chicken stock, salt and pepper chicken on both sides, go easy on the salt, though.
- Pour enough corn oil into electric skillet to come only 1/4 up the sides of skillet.
- Set heat at 375-400.
- Have electric skillet pre-heated before you begin to coat chicken.
- Pour out 1 packet of Dixie Fry onto flat dish or pan.
- Have another large flat pan ready to hold the just-coated chicken in.
- Dredge the wet/marinated chicken in Dixie Fry, making sure the chicken is fully covered with coating, place in empty pan.
- Shake off excess.
- Once all chicken is coated, place all pieces of chicken in 400-420 electric skillet.
- Make sure to keep the lid on while chicken fries, as this will seal in the flavors and juices.
- Cook approximately 15-20 minutes on each side.
- I like to use tongs to turn chicken.
- Chicken should be golden brown when done.
- Drain/cool on paper towels for at least 5 minutes.
- Enjoy.
