COUNTRY FRIED CHICKEN

One of the best basic fried chicken recipes I've found!



INGREDIENTS:
2 teaspoons Kosher salt 
2 cups buttermilk
1 frying chicken, cut into pieces or your favorite pieces 
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour 
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper 
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt 
1 1/2 cups Crisco™ shortening

In a bowl, mix 2 teaspoons salt with 2 cups buttermilk. Put in
 the chicken parts and let soak for 15 to 20 minutes. Drain.
Mix together the flour, pepper and salt and batter the chicken
 by dipping the pieces in the flour mixture until they are
coated on all sides, shaking off excess flour.


In a skillet, over medium heat, heat the shortening. It should
be at 350 degrees. If the shortening appears too hot,
remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool a little. Brown
the chicken on all sides, reducing the heat if needed as it
cooks. It takes about 20 minutes to fry chicken for it to be
well done. Lightly salt the chicken immediately after 
removing from oil.


Yield: 4 to 5 servings
