Use "shake & bake" and bake it instead of frying.

Well, this might not pass current health guidelines, but my mother used to fry chicken in a big old well-seasoned cast iron skillet that was out of this world delicious. I can't remember if she left the skin on or not, but she washed the pieces, dried them off, rolled them in flour and fried them in hot grease from what we called streak-ed bacon. Daddy raised and killed two pigs every year, and cured the meat in his smokehouse. He didn't smoke it though, he used salt. And the streak-ed bacon was more lean than fat. Even the fat was not like pork fat today. It was kind of chewy when it was fried just right.

libby (sorry, guess that doesn't help you much. I kinda got carried away thinkin' of the olden days and that good food)

When Grandpa would butcher a hog we'd fry the skin to make pork rinds, some still had hair on it.
I did give up on cooking with lard.
But on fried chicken you get a bowl of egg and milk season to taste, a pan of flour, seasoned to taste, put the chicken in the four, cover, put into the milk/egg, and fry, or you can double dip for more crustyness.
The grease can't be too hot or the crust will blacken and the meat will be raw.

wvchat,
For perfect fried chicken;
Remove the covering from the chicken and potatoes.
Place in a 350 degree oven for 35-40 minutes.
Enjoy.

Any breading/batter/coating for fried chicken will work well if you deep fry it over med-high heat. I used to use a deep cast iron skillet, now I just use a FryDaddy. It comes out perfect every time.

I dream one day of having a broaster, high pressure.

i only fry chicken about two or three times a year now but this is what i do....get a large cast iron skillet or whatever large pan you have...i use the iron skillet. fill it to about a quarter of fresh cooking oil. rinse your chicken of , pat dry and season with salt pepper a little garlic and coat in flour. get the temp on medium or until a small bit of flour  dropped in makes it sizzle. cook on one side until brown then turn to the other  for a few minutes. i usually turn two or three times before it's cooked. drain on paper towels. if you want a good tender chicken, soak in buttermilk over night then season and dredge in flour and fry.

I used to work with a woman who sometimes prepared and sold food at a local Farmer's Market, and she brought me some  for lunch one day. It was all good, but the fried chicken was what stood out - it was delicious - the way I like it, with the chicken not too dry or moist, and a crispy crust. Here's what she wrote down for me:

Deep-Fried Chicken

Batter:
1 egg, 1 1/4 cup milk, 1 cup flour.
Beat until smooth.

Pre-cook chicken (approximately 15 minutes for large pieces). Test by piercing thickest part with a fork -- juices should run clear.

Dip in batter, roll in fine soda cracker crumbs, and fry in oil (375) until crisp and golden.

She didn't mention salt or other seasoning, and what I tasted needed none. I guess the saltines would be make it just about right for most people.

That would kinda defeat the purpose of my  farm raised chickens.
