HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN FRIED CHICKEN, STEP BY STEP:
- In a pie plate or large shallow bowl add your flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper and garlic powder and whisk until combined.
- In another pie plate or large shallow bowl add your butter milk, hot sauce and egg.
- Whisk until combined and the egg is really spread out, you want to make sure that the whites aren’t saturated in one area.
- Take your chicken breast and first dip it in your flour mixture, coating all sides really well, pressing down to get the flour in there good.
- Transfer over to your buttermilk mixture and again coat each side making sure that the flour is covered.
- Lastly place back in your flour mixture and coat again pressing down to get a good coating on your chicken breast, then fry in oil heated to 325 degrees for 3-5 minutes on each side until done.
How easy can this get? Usually we make this Chicken Fried Chicken in a cast iron skillet with a few inches of oil, but we have also made in in our deep fryer and has worked out perfectly as well.
HOW TO MAKE COUNTRY GRAVY:
- Using about 1/4 cup of your cooking oil add it to a heavy bottomed skillet and heat at medium heat.
- Whisk in flour until combined and keep whisking for about 1 minute.
- Slowly add in your milk a little at a time continually whisking until all lumps are gone and gravy has thickened up.
- Add in salt and pepper to your liking.
We like to use the cooking oil from when we cook the chicken, but if you don’t want to use that, just melt the same amount of butter in a pan and make it that way, or if you keep a stock of bacon fat around you can use that as well.
If you are craving comfort this seriously is the recipe that you need to reach for! I mean seriously, deep fried chicken, gravy, how can you say no to that!
