Salli's Fried Chicken image

This pan-fried chicken is manna for the health conscious, as it actually absorbs very little oil -- only two-and-three-quarter tablespoons for four servings (two pieces per serving).

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 3-pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Pinch of ground, cinnamon
1 cup whole milk, or buttermilk
Solid vegetable shortening, for frying

Steps:

  • Place chicken iIn a large bowl; cover with ice water. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, and place in refrigerator to allow chicken to soak overnight. Pat chicken dry, and sprinkle with salt.
  • In a large shallow bowl or dish, season flour with pepper and cinnamon. Toss chicken pieces in flour, then shake off excess. Let dry for 15 minutes.
  • Pour milk into another shallow bowl, and dip chicken pieces into milk. Coat the pieces again with flour.
  • In a large, heavy skillet, melt enough shortening over high heat so that it fills pan to 2 inches. Brown chicken pieces on both sides, starting with the meat side down and turning frequently. Lower heat, cover skillet, and cook until chicken is just done, 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of piece. Remove cover, raise heat, and fry until chicken is crisp on both sides. Remove from skillet. Drain the pieces on a wire rack. Serve.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best fried chicken he's ever had. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great. I used a cast iron skillet and the chicken cooked evenly. The coating was crispy and the chicken was juicy. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was overcooked and the coating was too thick. I won't be making this again.

The chicken was a little dry, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try brining the chicken next time to see if that helps.
