Soak the chicken in ice water for at least 30 minutes. Mix the coating ingredients and pour them into a paper bag. Place soaked chicken into bag and shake to coat. Add the vegetable oil into a heavy pan and heat to approximately 325° to 350° F. Fry coated chicken for approximately 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown. Remove chicken and place on a cooling rack to drain. Carefully pour frying oil out into a safe container (not plastic) until cool, making certain to leave all of the frying bits from the chicken in your pan for the gravy. Return pan to heat. Add flour to make a roux, making sure to scrape fried chicken bits from bottom of pan. Thin roux by adding chicken stock (preferable) or water. When mixture reaches gravy-like consistency, add salt and pepper to taste. Add chicken back into pan and simmer uncov- ered approximately 10 minutes. Serve over steamed rice. Goes great with a side of fried green toma- toes! Serves 4 to 5 people. • BEST PIZZA IN TOWN • STUDENT SPECIALS 10 $ AFTER 10PM 2 TOPPING MEDIUM Present coupon. Not valid with other offers.
