Ingredients

2 1/2 - 3	pounds	chicken, whole	broiler or fryer, cut up

1	cup	flour, all-purpose
1 1/2	teaspoon	salt
1/2	teaspoon	black pepper

Directions

Place chicken in a large flat dish. Pour buttermilk over; cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Combine flour, salt and pepper in a double-strength paper bag. Drain chicken pieces; toss, one at a time, in flour mixture. Shake off excess; place on waxed paper for 15 minutes to dry. Heat 1/8 - 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet; fry chicken until browned on all sides. Cover and simmer, turning occasionally, for 40-45 minutes, or until juices run clear and chicken is tender.

Uncover and cook 5 minutes longer. Remove chicken and keep warm. Drain all but 1/4 cup drippings in skillet; stir in flour until bubbly. Add milk and 1 1/2 cups water; cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook 1 minute more. Add remaining water if needed. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with chicken.

Reviews

This recipe was great! I used chicken strips instead. I double dipped them as opposed to just once and that gave them an even cripisier coating. I made this for my younger brothers' birthday dinner and he loved them! He said, "These are so good, I can't even describe them." I'm sure that he'll be requesting them again soon.

Sausage And Mushroom Phyllo Twists

This is a lovely appetizer for parties. If you are in a hurry, try just leaving the phyllow sheets whole and rolling the filling up like a large sausage roll, about a third of the filling to a rectangle made of four sheets, each brushed with the clarified butter. Slice diagonally and separate slightly before baking. Also, for one batch I added a tsp. of chili-garlic sauce, which added a nice heat. These appetizers look great on a tray, and be prepared to make a lot--they disappear fast.
