Tennessee Fried Chicken
Ingredients:
1 Chicken about 3 lbs. cut into pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup buttermilk
Vegetable oil
Preparation:
Rinse chicken in cold water and pat dry. Combine the salt, flour, black pepper and cayenne pepper in a large shallow bowl. Dredge chicken in mixture and set aside for 15 minutes.
Pour the buttermilk in a separate bowl. Dip chicken into buttermilk and then dredge again in flour mixture.
In a heavy bottomed dutch-oven heat about 4 inches vegetable oil over medium heat until temperature reaches 360 degrees. Put chicken into oil with tongs. Add pieces one at a time slowly so that the oil temperature stays the same. Cook in batches so that chicken fries seperately. Cook until golden brown turning once. Cook for about 10 to 20 minutes depending on the sizes of the pieces. Check for doneness by piercing the chicken and juices should run clear. Drain the chicken on paper towels set over wire rack.
