How To Make Fried Chicken

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups Flour 
• 1 whole cut-up Chicken
• 3 teaspoons Salt
• 1 ½ to 2 cups Canola Oil (depending on the skillet size)
• 1 tablespoon Ground Black Pepper

Directions:

1. Rinse the pieces of chicken and put them on a large plate. 
2. Sprinkle the pepper and salt on each side of the chicken. Add the flour to a shallow bowl and dredge a piece of the chicken in flour. coat the chicken in flour on all sides. Set aside for some minutes.
3. Heat a large skillet on medium heat and add the oil. Sprinkle a tiny bit of the flour in the oil and if it sizzles add the pieces of flour-coated chicken to the oil.
4. Continue to dredge as many pieces of chicken in the flour that will fit in the skillet. Depending on the size of your skillet
5. Using a cooking or carving fork, turn the chicken regularly as it turns a golden color. Try to poke the fork into the outside edges of the skin when turning the chicken rather than in the middle of the meat (so the juices don’t run out). When turning the chicken, a cooking fork tends to keep the crispy skin looking nicer than when using tongs.
6. Keep an eye on the chicken to see if it’s turning a dark brown color (rather than a golden color) or cooking too quickly. If so, turn the heat down just a bit. Lay a small cooling rack over a large plate and set aside for a moment.
7. Continue to let the chicken cook until all sides are a medium to dark golden color. As the pieces of chicken are done cooking, remove them from the skillet and lay them on top of the cooling rack. 
8. Your fried chicken is ready to be served
