Grandma’s Simple Fried Chicken
In our family, grandma actually goes by “Nanny”. I also really (really) like her cookin’. Her grandchildren also love her simple fried chicken. My brother especially asks for this chicken on a frequent basis and eats it with an abnormally large side of ketchup. Turns out, Nanny’s Simple Fried Chicken recipe is SUPER easy and besides the chicken and a bit of S&P and the oil for frying, it only requires 2 other ingredients.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
In a large baggy or large bowl, let the chicken strips soak in the buttermilk. Make sure that your contain is covered/ sealed and placed in the fridge for an hour and a half.
- Step 2
Take out of the fridge and let sit on the counter for an additional 30 minutes. You don't want the chicken to be too cold or else it will lower the temperature of the oil and it will not cook properly.
- Step 3
Heat your oil according to your fryer instructions. If you're using a dutch oven, heat your oil to 350 degrees F.
- Step 4
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and pepper.
- Step 5
Take the strips of chicken one at a time, dip them in the flour mixture so that they are thoroughly coated. Place in the frying oil and cook for 4-5 minutes each or until completely done. Check for doneness with a meat thermometer making sure that the chicken is cooked through to 165 degrees F. If you do not have a thermometer, You can cut one of the strips open to make sure it's done and that there's no pink left.
- Step 6
Let the fried chicken rest on a paper towel to cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
