Directions:
- Cut the chicken into pieces.
- Remove skin and extra fat from each piece (except wings - too hard!).
- When all pieces are skinned and rinsed, salt each piece on both sides and put into a large bowl.
- Cover bowl and allow to sit in refrigerator overnight, if possible, but at least for an hour or two.
- Heat your recylced shortening (see below) in dutch oven.
- Pour milk into a medium bowl, and flour into another.
- When the shortening is hot enough, roll a piece of chicken in the flour, then dip into the milk, then roll in flour again.
- Carefully drop each piece into hot oil. If the shortening is hot enough, the chicken will float. Depending on the size of your kettle, a whole chicken might be 4-6 batches; just don't overload the kettle.
- Larger pieces may need to be turned over.
- Remove pieces with tongs when golden brown; place on paper towels to drain.
- Serve hot, but it's great cold the next day!
- Recycled shortening: Crisco, for example, comes in a 3-lb. can (in quotes because it's cardboard, not metal). The first time you make this chicken, use a full can. When the cooking is done and the shortening has cooled somewhat, pour the liquid into a container (metal coffee can, or similar) except for the brown sludge at the bottom (residue from flour, etc,) which is thrown out. Save the shortening, covered, in your refrigerator until next time. Add enough fresh shortening to the kettle to replace the part you threw out. P.S. When starting with all fresh shortening, adding a little bacon grease will improve flavor of your first batch of chicken.
