COMFORT FOOD RECIPES


Recipe: Southern Chicken Fried Chicken
Serving old time recipes for dinner is a darling way to introduce some nonstalgia. If you've tried and love chicken fried steak, you'll love this Southern Chicken Fried Chicken, which just swaps out the beef for chicken. It's finger-licking good, and the kind of old-fashioned southern comfort food that will have you craving it for weeks. Tender, juicy chicken breasts are coated with a golden, crispy crust then topped with pan gravy. Take one bite and we know you'll want to keep this chicken fried chicken recipe on file.

    Ingredients:
  • 2 large chicken breasts (my 2 chicken breasts were around 1½ lbs)
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 cup flour plus an additional ⅓ cup for the gravy
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk plus an additional 2+ cups for the gravy
  • canola oil for frying
  • more salt and pepper, to taste

    • Preparation Instructions:
  • Pound chicken breasts between two pieces of cling wrap with a meat tenderizer or a rolling pin until they are about ¼ inch thick. Use a trusty rolling pin. Be careful that the chicken doesn't start breaking apart into pieces.
  • Cut the large pieces into smaller ones for easier flipping in the frying pan and to make plate-friendly portion sizes. Cut the large pieces into 3 small ones. Or you can leave the pieces monster huge. It's up to you. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • In a shallow dish (pie plates work well, too) combine the flour, garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper and cayenne pepper The seasoning amounts are just estimates, so feel free to add more or less to your liking. In another shallow dish combine the milk and egg. Beat the egg with a fork or whisk until it's completely combined with the milk.
  • Set up your assembly line. 1. chicken 2. wet mixture 3. dry mixture 4. a clean plate for the coated chicken. Dip the chicken in the wet mixture, then the dry mixture, and repeat again with the wet mixture then the dry mixture. Each piece will be dipped four times before making it to the clean plate at the end.
  • Heat the canola oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat (We like to use cast iron). Use enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan, but not completely cover the chicken when it's added. Make sure it's good and hot before adding the chicken. Don't use high heat for the oil or it will burn the coating of the chicken before the inside cooks through. Fry the chicken in batches for about 3-3½ minutes per side. When you flip it, the coating should be golden and crispy. If it's not, it's not ready to flip. Place the cooked pieces on a paper towel lined plate. The finished chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165° (it never hurts to bust out the meat thermometer and check one of your thicker pieces).
  • After frying all of the chicken, pour off the oil into a measuring cup, keeping as many of the brown bits in the pan as you can. Put about ¼ cup of the oil back into the pan and add ⅓ cup flour, whisking to make a roux. Continue whisking the oil/flour mixture, scraping the brown bits up and continue cooking until the roux is a nice golden brown color.
  • Slowly add the milk to the roux, whisking constantly until all of the milk has been combined. Add additional milk until the gravy is the consistency that you like. Then season, season, season with salt and pepper. Use lots of pepper and salt to taste. Keep adding seasoning and tasting until it tastes yummy. If you don't add enough seasoning, the gravy will just taste like liquid flour which is just plain yucky. If it doesn't taste good, you haven't seasoned it enough. Add, taste, add, taste. It'll get there.
  • Serve with a side of mashed potatoes and slather the chicken and the taters with the pan gravy.
