Categories     Chicken

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2-3 lbs fryer (cut up)
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
cooking oil (at least 6-8 tablespoons for frying)
8 tablespoons flour
8 tablespoons oil, the oil the chicken was fried in
6 -8 cups water (or a little more)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Wash the chicken pieces and pat it dry with paper towel.
  • Heat the oil to 365 degrees for frying the chicken. Salt and pepper the chicken.
  • Mix the flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder together.
  • When the oil is hot, roll the chicken pieces in the flour and place into the skillet. Cook 3 to 4 pieces at a time on both sides until golden brown and almost done. Drain the chicken on paper towel and place into a baking dish and set aside until the rest of the chicken is done.
  • To prepare the gravy, on medium heat, preferably in the same skillet, & if necessary, spoon out some of the oil, leaving 8 tablespoons of the oil in the skillet. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the water and stir until boiling. Salt and pepper to taste. The gravy will be kind of thin, but it will thicken.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet of gravy. Cover with a splatter screen and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes until gravy is thickened and the chicken is smothered and fork tender.
