Categories: Poultry- Chicken

Ingredients

• 1 plump, young chicken
• salt and ground black pepper
• flour, for dusting
• fat or oil, for frying

Directions

1. Cut chicken into serving pieces, or purchase a cut-up chicken. Season with salt and pepper and roll in the flour.

2. Heat fat (about 1 1/2 inches deep) in a heavy frying pan. Put the thickest pieces of chicken in fat first. Do not crowd- leave enough space for the fat to come up around each piece. Cook slowly, turning often. Do not cover pan. The thickest pieces will take from 20 to 35 minutes to cook. After the pieces have been browned, cooking may be finished in a moderate oven (350 degrees), id more convenient.
