Easy and fast
Fried Chicken
6 to 8 pieces skinless white chicken meat with or without bones
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 to 1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
Trim off all fat and discoloration, etc. with kitchen shears or a sharp knife from the chicken. Wash under cold water. Put the flour into a plastic bag. While the pieces are still very wet, place them 1 at a time into the flour. Shake the bag to coat each piece. Melt about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of shortening in a pan on medium heat. Shake the bag again to keep the pieces from sticking together.
When the shortening is melted and very hot, remove the chicken from the bag. Gently shake off the excess flour and lay into the hot fat. When all the pieces are in the pan, cover with a lid and allow to fry about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove cover and check each piece to see how brown it is. When it is lightly golden brown, turn to fry the other side. Add salt and fresh ground pepper to each piece on the browned side. Cover again and allow the other side to brown. Season the second side. At this point, you may remove the cover and continue to fry the chicken to the desired “browness” you prefer. Turn often.
It should be nicely browned with a very crisp outside and a moist, tender inside. You may want to reduce the heat a little after you have browned the second side. Boneless, skinless chicken cooks much faster than meat with the bone in. Place the fried pieces on a wire rack covered with a paper towel to drain off the excess grease. For best flavor and texture, serve about 7 to 10 minutes after you remove from the pan.

Its too late.
OK, seasoning salt and flour is all you need. First rinse the chicken under warm water pour on plenty of seasoning salt rub into chicken then bury it in flour. Sprinkle a bit more seasoning salt before frying. Make sure the temperature is at medium or 350 degrees. Let fry for 15 minutes and let the grease drain off for 5 minutes before serving. That’s how my man likes. Good luck!

Got this from an old magazine and it’s delicious!
Fried Chicken
1 cut-up chicken -8 pieces
1 c. buttermilk
1 1/2 tsp. salt, divided
1 tsp. red pepper sauce
1 c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. freshly ground pepper
2 c. vegetable shortening
1. Cut each chicken ****** in half crosswise.
2. Combine buttermilk, 1/2 tsp. salt and red pepper
sauce in a large 2-gallon resealable plastic storage
bag; add chicken. Seal bag and turn chicken with
buttermilk mixture to coat. Refrigerate 4 hours or
overnight, turning bag over once.
3. Combine flour, paprika, pepper and remaining 1 tsp.
salt in pie plate or shallow dish. Work with several
pieces of chicken at a time: Remove chicken from
buttermilk, shaking off excess. Add to flour mixture,
turning to coat evenly. Transfer pieces to a wire
rack. Repeat process with remaining chicken; let
stand 30 minutes on rack.
4. Meanwhile, heat oven to 250 degrees. Line a jelly-roll
pan with a double layer of paper towels. Heat
shortening in a 10 inch cast iron skillet over medium
heat, until temperature reaches 360 degrees on a
deep-fry thermometer. Add several pieces of
chicken, skin side down. CVover skillet and cook
until bottoms of pieces are golden, about 5 minutes.
Turn piece and cook, covered (adjusting heat to med.
low) 7 to 10 minutes more for white meat and 12 to
15 minutes for dark meat, turning pieces every 4 to
5 minutes until deep-golden and cooked through.
Drain pieces on paper towels; transfer to baking
sheet and keep warm in oven. Repeat process,
cooking remaining chicken.
Make 10 pieces.
This seems like alot of instructions, but it’s really easy.
Just make sure you marinate chicken pieces in the buttermilk. I like to marinate overnight. Also, be sure to let the pieces sit on a wire rack for the 30 minutes. This keeps the crunchy coating on, even after cooking.

Southern Style Soul Food Fried Chicken
I learned this from a lady who knows how to cook soul food!
Get any kind of boneless chicken you want, breast, tenderloins, or nuggets. Whatever you want. Make sure to thouroughly rinse the chicken prior to doing anything else.
If you are cooking tenders, it will take about 8-10 minutes. If you are cooking whole chicken ****** it can take anywhere from 15-18 minutes.
1.) Get about 1 & 1/2 or 2 c. of Flour, add any seasonings you want:
Salt & Pepper
Garlic
Season Salt
Anything you Like
Put in a plastic ziploc bag (Freezer Size)
2.) Put chicken in the bag and shake until thouroughly covered in the flour and seasoning mixture.
3.) Use Vegetable Oil or Crisco, but use enough in your pot (It’s best to use a cast iron one, but I used a tall metal one like you would boil spaghetti noodles and it worked fine) to cover the entire piece of chicken. (You will need a large bottle of oil)
Since you are using enough oil to cover each piece of chicken completely, you will not have to really turn the chicken (I do sometimes…just to make sure it’s evenly browned)
Prior to putting the chicken into the oil, test and make sure the oil is hot enough at a medium setting. The oil is hot enough when you splash a few drops of water in it and it sizzles and pops slightly.
Place cooked chicken on paper towels to absorb the grease.
Some recipies call for eggs and milk, but this is the best one I have ever found!!!!
I had an “issue” making fried chicken once, but this was a hit with my boyfriend.
