Receta Fried Chicken and Gravy
More experiments in fried chicken recipes have yielded a really good one at last.
A lot of recipes, especially southern ones, call for brining the chicken in buttermilk. I did soak the chicken briefly in half milk, half buttermilk. The crust was nice and crispy, and the chicken was tender and flavorful.
This is my new go-to recipe.

- Soak chicken pieces for an hour in the milks and hot sauce.
- Combine coating ingredients together.
- Beat eggs with water.
- Heat oil to 350 F in a skillet.
- Wipe the chicken as dry as you can with paper towels.
- Roll chicken in flour, dip in egg, roll in flour again.
- Cook in skillet over a medium low heat on all sides. If pieces are browning too quickly, turn heat lower. Thighs take longest to cook.
- Drain pieces on paper towels.
- Pour off all but 2 tbs. of the oil, saving the pieces of crust at the bottom.
- Add the flour, stir, begin slowly adding milk. You might not use all of the 2 cups, especially, if you add the milk too quickly, as the gravy will be thin. Gravy thickens a bit when refrigerated.
