Cooking Time10 min

Ingredients

6 to 10 pieces fresh chicken (never frozen)
2 cups buttermilk (to tenderize and flavor the chicken)
lard or oil (soybean, peanut or corn)
1 tablespoon bacon grease
1 1/2 cup flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Wash chicken in cold water, dry with towels, place in large bowl, and add buttermilk.
Turn all pieces to coat with buttermilk and place in refrigerator for one hour.
Chicken is crispiest when fried in two inches of oil. Heat oil to 350 to 360 decrees F. This is the right temperature to brown the outside while sealing moisture inside. Bacon grease can be added at this time to add flavor.
Remove chicken from buttermilk and dredge in the mixture of flour, salt and pepper. Place chicken in hot oil and cover. Chicken should be turned just once while cooking. Fry ten minutes or until chicken is fully cooked.
