aka Heart Attack in A Skillet , but, according to the elderly Louisiana gentleman who shared this recipe, the genuine thing. It's been a long time since I made this but I do remember how good it was. Cook time includes marinating time. Ingredients:
1 cup vegetable oil |
1 egg, beaten |
1/2 teaspoon oregano |
1/2 teaspoon rosemary |
1/2 teaspoon tarragon |
1/2 teaspoon paprika |
1 clove garlic, crushed |
8 pieces chicken, 1 cut-up fryer,washed and patted dry |
2 cups shortening or 2 cups vegetable oil |
1 cup flour, seasoned with |
salt and pepper |
salt |
Directions:
1. Marinade: Combine marinade ingredients and chicken pieces in a plastic bag and refrigerate for 2 hours.
2. Chicken: Heat oil in skillet until it sizzles when tested with a drop of water; place seasoned flour in a plastic bag; remove chicken from marinade and add to flour; shake to thoroughly coat; brown chicken quickly on all sides.
3. Cover, reduce heat and cook SLOWLY until chicken is tender and cooked through, about 20 minutes; salt the chicken generously as it fries, poultry absorbs a lot of salt.
