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 11/2 inches deep) in a heavy frying pan. Put the thickest pieces of chicken in fat first. Do nit 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 30 minutes to cook. After the pieces have been browned, cooking may be finished in a moderate oven (350 degrees), if desired.

3. Drain on wire rack set over paper towels.
