Southern Fried Chicken
3 1/2- to 4-lb. chicken, cut into 8 pieces 2 cups buttermilk 1 tsp. black pepper, divided 1/4 tsp. salt 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/2 tsp. seasoned salt, such as Lawry's 1 lb. lard (or solid vegetable shortening) 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
Step 1 Rinse the chicken pieces and blot them with paper towels. In a large bowl combine the buttermilk, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper and the salt, and stir to combine.
Step 2 Add the chicken pieces and turn to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, turning the pieces occasionally.
Step 3 Combine the flour, seasoned salt and the remaining 3/4 teaspoon of black pepper in a shallow baking dish and blend well. Line a baking sheet with three layers of paper towels and place it near the stove.
Step 4 Put the lard and butter in a large cast-iron frying pan or pot big enough to hold the chicken pieces in one layer without touching. Melt over medium-high heat. The fat should be about 1/2-inch deep.
Step 5 Heat until it registers 365 degrees on a candy thermometer or until a small cube of bread dropped in the oil browns in about 1 minute.
Step 6 Using tongs, remove the thighs from the marinade, draining well. Dredge them in the flour mixture, turning to coat evenly. Shake off any excess flour. Place them skin-side down in the center of the pan.
Step 7 Coat the remaining pieces in the same way and add them to the pan in a single layer without touching. Work in batches if necessary.
Step 8 Don't move the chicken for about 5 minutes or until the coating is set and looks firm. Check the underside by lifting with the tongs--it should be deep golden. Cook the pieces between 8 and 20 minutes (depending on size), turning them periodically until crispy brown and cooked through.
Step 9 To test, cut into the thickest part of a piece. The juices should run clear and the meat should be opaque throughout. Place on the paper-lined baking sheet to drain.
Step 10 Arrange the chicken pieces on a platter and serve hot, room temperature or cold.

from Marilynn (chief_cook) « Thread started on: Sep 27th, 2004, 5:02pm » <br> Walk Away Roast Chicken
2 tablespoons Olive oil 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon dried thyme 1 teaspoon dried rosemary Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 lemon cut in half 1 whole roasting chicken *-- 3 to 3 1/2 pounds, rinsed inside and out and patted dry 1 large red onion -- cut into thick rounds 4 medium red potatoes -- washed but not peeled, sliced in half *1/2 cup chicken broth or water
Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the mustard, thyme and rosemary, and season with a little salt and pepper. Squeeze one half of the lemon into this mixture; squeeze the other half into a small bowl. Reserve the juice as well as the squeezed lemon halves. Rub the herb mixture over the chicken and inside the cavity. Put the squeezed lemon halves in the cavity as well.
Put the onion and potatoes in the bottom of the roasting pan and toss with the remaining olive oil and some salt and pepper. Make room for the chicken in the pan and put it in breast side up. Cook until the juices run clear when the thigh is pricked, about 1 1/4 hours; a meat thermometer inserted into the thigh should register 165 to 170 degrees F.
Transfer the vegetables to a serving platter. Pour the juices from inside the chicken's cavity into the roasting pan and transfer the chicken to a cutting board to rest.
Degrease the juices in the roasting pan. Set aside over medium high heat. Add the reserved lemon juice and the chicken broth or water. Bring to a boil, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape up the flavorful browned bits stuck to the pan. Carve the chicken or cut it into pieces and serve it with the potatoes, onions and some of the pan juices poured over all.
Wine Suggestions: If you are in the mood for white wine, try a Mâcon Villages, or a Saint-Véran, both from Burgundy. Reds that would go well with this casual meal include Beaujolais (not Nouveau) or a Spanish Rioja.
*Notes on Degreasing:
Degrease the pan juices or cooking liquid. Certainly a little fat adds flavor to a sauce but too much obscures it. You usually pour off the fat from the roast or saute, which is easy enough to do. Getting rid of the fat that floats on the top of braising liquids can be a little tricky. There are a few ways to do this. At a restaurant, we dip a three ounce ladle into the braising liquid so that the bottom half of the bowl is submerged but not the edges. We slowly move the ladle in circles, starting with small circles in the middle of the pot and gradually increasing the size. The movement pushes the fat toward the edge making it easier to collect. To gather the fat, simply allow the ladle bowl to just break the surface of the liquid so that what flows into it is mainly clear fat. Throw that fat away and repeat the process until you have removed much of the fat. You can also pour the liquid into a gravy separator- a glass or plastic pitcher with a spout on the bottom; pour the juices back into the pan, stopping the fat when the fat on top begins to enter the spout. Both of these methods require a little work and some patience. The easiest and most effective way to remove the fat takes time but no effort; Chill the braising liquid completely. The fast on top will solidify and come off easily with a spoon.
Recipe Notes
If you want to double the recipe don't buy a larger bird; roast two smaller ones in the same pan instead, and double the rest of the ingredients. What is good about this dish is that it cooks the main side dishes at one time. A crisp salad or sauted greens would brighten up the plate.

BUTTERMILK FRIED CHICKEN AND GRAVY
1 cup buttermilk, divided 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1/4 cup yellow cornmeal 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup corn oil 1 cup chicken broth 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, or to taste
Pour 1/2 cup buttermilk into a shallow dish just large enough to hold the chicken. Dip the chicken in the buttermilk, turning to coat completely.
In another shallow dish, combine the cornmeal, 1/4 cup flour, the pepper and salt. Dredge the chicken in the cornmeal, patting the mixture to coat the chicken all over.
In a large skillet, heat the oil. Pan fry the chicken over medium heat, turning once, until it is cooked through and the coating is dark golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
Stir the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour into the pan drippings and cook, stirring constantly, until the flour paste takes on a golden color, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the broth and remaining 1/2 cup buttermilk. Cook, stirring up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan, until the gravy is bubbly. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Season with hot-pepper sauce, salt and pepper.
Serve the chicken with the gravy ladled over it.
Makes 4 servings.

Chicken and Dumplins Southern Style
1 whole fryer chicken cut up minus wings 6-8 celery stalks chopped 6-8 carrots peeled and chooped 1 Large Onion chopped 4 garlic gloves minced 3 Bay Leaves 3T Parsley 2T Salt 1T Pepper 2-3T Cayenne Pepper 4 Cans Chicken Broth
Dumplins: Follow Recipe on Bisquick box Add to dry mix before adding milk: 2T Garlic powder 1T Cayenne Pepper 1T Salt 2T Parsley
Place chicken in large pot, add 4 cans of chicken broth and 2 cans water. Add carrots, celery, onions, garlic, bay leaves, black pepper, salt, parsley & cayenne pepper. Let cook for 2 hours over med low heat after bringing to a boil. Cover.
After 2 hours chicken is ready to take out and set in a separate bowl and placed in fridge to cool for 30-45 minutes.At this point turn burner off. Must remove as much oil as possible from the top of the broth in pot to avoid greasy base after about 15 minutes once cooking stops. (Note: will get some broth so don't worry about it.)
While chicken is cooling make dumplins. When chicken is cool pull off skin and fat and give to your dog or cat for a snack. . Start pulling chicken apart and place in pot. You might think that it's alot of meat but in the end it's really not. Turn heat back on to medium, add dumplins half a teaspoon at a time and bring to a slow boil. After about 15 minutes turn down heat to low and cover, let cook for 25 minutes.
Makes a lot so there is always more for leftovers or you can freeze it.
