My Aunt Barb makes the best fried chicken! Unfortunately, we live too far apart for her to make it for me on a regular basis, so I had to call up and learn how to make it for myself. I suppose it was time, I mean, every good southern girl should know how to make fried chicken! Thankfully it’s super easy to make and just as good as I remember, hallelujah!
It’s also just as good cold as it is hot. So, it’s perfect for Sunday dinner or any social distancing picnic, lake trip or road trip you have planned. Y’all let me know what you think!
Aunt Barb’s Fried Chicken
- Total Time: 40 minutes
Description
This fried chicken is just as good cold as it is hot. Perfect for picnics, road trips or just any old time!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2–4 lbs Bonless Skinless Chicken Breast, cut into 4th’s. (Really the amount is up to you!)
- All-Purpose Flour
- Lawry’s Season Salt
- Salt & Pepper
- Canola Oil
Instructions
- Cut chicken breast in to 4th’s and put into a big bowl of water.
- Add canola oil to deep skillet until about an inch deep. Heat canola oil on med-high heat until very hot.
- Add all-purpose flour to a pie pan, and take the chicken breast directly from the water into the flour.
- Once coated with flour, sprinkle the chicken with Lawry’s, salt & pepper. Place in hot oil seasoned side down.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes – season other side of chicken with Lawry’s, salt & pepper then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes
- Once crispy and cooked through I normally turn one more time and then place on paper towels to drain.
Notes
- Aunt Barb will buy a large bag of frozen chicken breast and it works just fine, you’ll just need to thaw them.
- Aunt barb covers the pan while cooking make sure the chicken is cooked through, then removes the lid and flips once more to make it crispy – mine were thin enough that I didn’t have to, but will definitely help cook through if yours are thicker without burning the the flour!
- Do not season the flour – season the chicken after coating with flour.
