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:
- Cut chicken in eight pieces. Season well with salt and pepper. Set aside. Mix eggs, milk, and water. Pour mixture over chicken. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- In a heavy paper bag, mix flour, paprika, ground thyme, and granulated garlic. Place chicken in bag with flour mixture. Shake until chicken is well coated.
- Heat oil in a Magnalite fryer - oil should reach 350°F. Place chicken in hot oil. Fry, turning as chicken browns. Heavy parts such as breast, thighs, and legs will take 15 to 20 minutes, wings about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain chicken on paper towels.
OZARKS FRIED CHICKEN
Fried chicken is a staple in the Ozarks, with cream gravy to boot. My preference is cold fried chicken made the day before. Great picnic food!

Steps:
- Cover chicken with water in large bowl. Stir 2 tablespoons salt into water. Refrigerate 12 hours or over night.
- Blend flour, cracker crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika in large, heavy duty, plastic freezer zip-type bag. Pour buttermilk into medium bowl.
- Remove chicken from water. Do not rinse. Pat chicken dry. Dredge each piece of chicken in flour mixture and place on large baking sheet to dry. Dip floured chicken pieces into buttermilk and re-dredge them in flour mixture a second time, placing back on baking sheet to dry.
- Heat oil over medium-high heat in large cast iron or electric skillet until hot but not smoking. Oil should be half way up sides of skillet. Carefully add chicken pieces and fry without crowding until golden brown and cooked through, about 15 minutes per side. If chicken browns too quickly, turn heat down to medium and watch carefully. Do not cover skillet or chicken will be steamed and not crispy.
- Drain and cool cooked chicken pieces on paper towels or brown grocery bag. Serve immediately or cool completely and store in refrigerator. Use skillet drippings to make cream gravy!

Steps:
- Sprinkle the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, and place them in a deep-sided baking dish.
- Whisk together the buttermilk, hot pepper sauce, and 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper in a bowl. Pour the mixture over the chicken, stir to coat all sides of the chicken pieces, and cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for about 2 hours to marinate.
- Remove the chicken pieces from the buttermilk mixture, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining buttermilk mixture.
- Place the flour, 1 tablespoon of cayenne pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and salt and pepper to taste in a large plastic zipper bag, and shake well to combine. Place 2 or 3 pieces of chicken at a time into the plastic bag, and shake well to coat the chicken pieces with seasoned flour.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Gently place chicken pieces into the hot oil, and fry until chicken is cooked through and golden brown, 8-10 minutes (breasts and wings) or 13 to 15 minutes (thighs and drumsticks). Drain the fried chicken on paper towels.
