Original Fried Chicken Recipe1 cup shortening
1 tablespoon butter
1 whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces (only cook 4 at a time and reuse shortening)
3 cups flour
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
1 1/2 tablespoons pepper
2 tablespoons Lawry's seasoning salt
3 eggs, beaten (or more if needed)
Clean chicken parts and remove skin if desired. Place shortening and butter in pressure cooker. Mix dry ingredients in a shallow bowl. Beat eggs in another shallow bowl. Heat cooker over medium to medium high heat. Put chicken in flour mixture. Dip in egg, then in flour again. When oil is hot, add 4 pieces and brown on one side; turn. Close cooker. Bring up pressure and cook for 5 to 7 minutes with pressure rocking slowly. Let pressure drop of its own accord for 5 minutes. Release remaining pressure under faucet. Drain on paper towels.
I did tweak this recipe a little. I just used 6 chicken legs and cut the flour mixture in half. The recipe called for cooking it with the pressure on for 10 minutes, but the bottom of the chicken got a little over done, so next time I would time it less....5 to 7 minutes. And, yes, it does say 1 1/2 tablespoons salt and 1 1/2 tablespoons pepper. You don't end up using all the flour mixture, so it's not as much as it sounds like
I haven't made this yet,but will !!!
