Favorite Ways For Fried Chicken
There are many ways to fry I in a heavy skillet. Cook chicken
a chicken. Many cooks like this
way best; and so do we.
Fried Chicken
Mix 1 cup flour, 1 tablespoon
salt, 2 tablespoons paprika, Vi
teaspoon poultry seasoning and
4 teaspoon pepper in a paper
bag. Shake chicken, a few pieces
at a time, until coated evenly
with flour mixture. Place pieces
on a rack for a few minutes be
fore frying so the coating will
stick. (This is true of all floured
meats, you know.)
Heat Vi inch melted fat or oil
in hot fat until golden brown,
12 to 15 minutes. Turn pieces
occasionally so they will brown
evenly. Place chicken pieces, one
layer deep in shallow baking pan.
Combine Vi cup melted butter
and Vi cup broth or milk; spoon
over chicken. Bake in moderate
oven, 350 degrees, until chicken
is tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Driz
zle more butter mixture over
chicken if pieces appear dry be
fore they are tender. Heap plat
ter with crips, tawny-brown
chicken pieces. Side bowl of
gravy, of course.

the extra special c"ih it Is. The

ple zest, helps fluff the souffle

Just open the cans or jars and
in short order your souffle is
ready for the oven.
