PAN FRIED ITALIAN CHICKEN THIGHS
This flavorful chicken dinner requires just a few minutes time to prepare. The hardest part of this recipe is waiting while the chicken slowly cooks on its own.

Steps:
- Pour the oil into a large stainless or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. (A non-stick skillet will work as well, although it isn't required.) Generously sprinkle the skin side of the chicken thighs with spices and then place them in the hot skillet, skin side down. Sprinkle the other side of the thighs and then, without moving them, cook uncovered for about 20-25 minutes. Let them cook until the fat has rendered and the skin is deep golden brown and crisp; this could take as long as 30 minutes.
- If the skin is sticking to the pan, it likely isn't finished on that side. Reduce the heat as needed if the skin starts to burn before it is evenly golden brown. Turn the thighs over and continue to cook for about 20 more minutes. When the meat closest to the bone is cooked through, the chicken is done. Enjoy!
ITALIAN STYLE FRIED CHICKEN
I made this on a whim. Had the stuff and a taste for something different. My daughter is home from college for the summer and my husband was home so we all sat down for a family "table" dinner. I served corn on the cob and rice with this chicken. They loved it! Even made sandwiches with the left overs.

Steps:

- In a shallow plate or bowl, mix the flour, seasoned salt, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

- Dip the chicken pieces in egg and roll or shake in flour mixture. Dip back into eggs and then back into flour mixture for double coating.
- In a large skillet, heat oil for frying.
- Fry coated chicken on each side for about 5 minutes.
- Cover skillet and cook on lower heat for about 10 minutes.
- Remove cover, turn up heat and fry for 5 minutes on each side to make chicken crispy.
- **Chicken is done when no longer pink inside and juices run clear.**.
- Drain fried chicken on paper towels and keep warm in oven until ready to serve.
- In fryer, I heat to 350-400 degrees F.
- Drop chicken in the basket and fry for about 7 minutes or until chicken is crispy and fully cooked. *This is the reason that I partially cook the chicken - to make sure that it gets thoroughly cooked and so it stays juicy*
- Eat with favorite dipping sauce or just crispy! ENJOY!

ITALIAN PAN-FRIED CHICKEN
I love this recipe for many reasons-but mostly because it is both simple and delicious. It was passed down from an Italian grandmother and I modified it slightly to suit my family's taste. - Karen Mahlke, Estero, Florida
