GWEN'S FRIED CHICKEN WITH MILK GRAVY



Gwen's Fried Chicken with Milk Gravy image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 serving pieces chicken, light or dark meat
Salt
2 cups peanut oil, more if needed
Black pepper
2 cups all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons oil from fried chicken
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Put the chicken pieces in a large bowl and cover them with water. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons salt in the water, cover the bowl, and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. When you soak the chicken overnight in salt brine, the salt infuses into the meat and makes it so tasty!
  • Pour oil into an electric frying pan or deep, heavy skillet to a 1-inch depth and heat the oil to 375 degrees F. Check the temperature by sprinkling flour over the oil. If the flour sizzles, the oil is hot enough.
  • Drain the water from the chicken, sprinkle each piece with some salt and pepper, and coat the pieces with flour, shaking off any excess. Carefully place the chicken in the hot oil. Place the cover on the pan, leaving a small opening for steam to escape. Cook for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the cover and, using tongs, turn each piece of chicken. Replace the cover and cook for 15 minutes more, or until done. Use a sharp, thin-bladed knife to check for doneness by slicing a drumstick to the bone. Neither the meat nor the juices should be pink. Drain the chicken on paper towels and keep warm.
  • For the gravy: Spoon about 4 tablespoons of oil that the chicken was fried in plus the brown bits into a medium skillet. Over medium heat, sprinkle in the flour and cook while whisking, until the flour is browned, about 1 minute.
  • Slowly stir in the milk and cook until the gravy thickens, 5 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve with the chicken.

SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN MILK GRAVY



Southern Fried Chicken Milk Gravy image

I love a thick milk gravy with fried chicken. It's pure comfort food for me. I start out with these proportions but I end up finishing the gravy by 'feel'. I usually add more milk by the end.....just a little bit at a time until I'm happy with the consistency. If you like your gravy thinner....go ahead and add some water until you're happy with it.

2 tablespoon(s) grease from fried chicken
