Fried Chicken


This is Tommy's family's recipe for fried chicken and Tommy's all time favorite food. He made it Sunday and its delish!

What you need:
Chicken (Tommy likes drumsticks, I like tenderloins so we do both)
1 Quart Buttermilk (or however much is needed to cover chicken in bowl, depending on how many pieces you cook)
4ish cups of all purpose flour
Crisco
S&P

What you need to do:
Remove skin from chicken, put in large bowl and cover with buttermilk. Soak for at least 30 minutes. Add S&P to buttermilk (probably 1 tablespoon each). Melt Crisco on medium to medium high heat so that there is approximately 1/2 inch of melted oil in skillet. Put flour in large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons each of S&P. Place each individual piece of chicken in flour and coat well with flour. Place in hot Crisco and cook on each side until golden brown (approximately 10 - 12 minutes per side).
