Fried Chicken

Ingredients:
1 broiler fryer chicken (2-1/2 to 3 pounds), cut into pieces
1 cup all purpose flour
2 teaspoons seasoning salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
vegetable oil

Wash and lightly dry chicken pieces.

Combine the flour, salt and pepper in brown paper or plastic bag. Place one or two pieces of chicken in the bag at a time and shake well to coat. Repeat process for remaining pieces of chicken.

Heat vegetable oil in deep fryer according to instructions. Once oil is sufficiently hot, fry chicken in batches until chicken is golden brown. Drain on paper towels before serving.

Enjoy your fried chicken.

• If you don't have a deep fryer, you can place the oil in a pan or pot, deep enough to cover the chicken. BE VERY CAREFUL and do not fill the pot more than half way or the hot oil may overflow when the chicken is added. This is NOT the recommended way to cook fried chicken. A proper deep fryer is always advised.

Makes about 4 servings.
