FRIED CHICKEN (LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE)

Steps:

• Place chicken pieces in a large bowl and sprinkle with vinegar and salt.
• Cover with cold water and set aside (I put it in the fridge) for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• After 30 minutes (or so) heat the oil in a frying pan (I use a cast iron skillet) over medium/high heat. Let the oil come up 1/4 to 1/2 way up the sides of the pan.
• Drain chicken and, one at a time, coat with flour.
• Fry the chicken in hot oil until brown on all sides.
• You can either finish the chicken in oven or lower the heat, so it doesn't burn, and cook the chicken through in the pan.

MILLIE PASQUINELLI'S FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a shallow plate or bowl, mix the flour, seasoned salt, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Roll or shake the chicken pieces in the flour mixture and place on a platter. Then dip each chicken piece in the egg and roll again in flour mixture.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Fry coated chicken pieces in hot oil for about 5 minutes on each side. 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 it is no longer pink inside and its juices run clear. Drain fried chicken on paper towels and keep warm in oven until ready to serve.

CINNAMON FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• 1. Wash your chicken and set it aside to drain.
• 2. Mix the flour and spices together.
• 3. Heat a frying pan with the crisco or oil on low to medium heat.
• 4. Dip your chicken in cold water and shake the excess off. Place in the egg whites to coat. Shake off excess egg white. Roll the chicken to coat all sided, shake off excess and place on rack to dry slightly.
• 5. Place your chicken in the hot oil carefully and brown on all sides. Lower heat and cook uncovered until done..about 45 minutes. Sometimes I don't want a crispy chicken, so I leave te lid a jar.
• 6. When the chicken is done. Drain all the fat and return 2-3 tablespoons of fat to the frying pan. Add the same amount of flour and stir to make a Roux. Add milk to make a gravy and cook to the thickness you like. If it's too thick add a little more milk. Sorry folks forgot to say, you serve this in the gravy.
