Serves 4
This is fried chicken in its simplest form. It's good enough so that the
last time I made it, the grandchildren were making off with pieces almost as
fast as I could cook them. Frank's daughter Anne Oliviero particularly
recommends basic fried chicken served cold the next day for picnics. She and
her family love to explore some of the islands off the coast of Maine, where
they live, and cold fried chicken is just about always on the menu.
1/3 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper or to taste
1 chicken cut in serving pieces
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
In a large plastic bag combine flour with salt and pepper. Shake chicken in
bag with mixture. In a large, deep skillet over medium heat, melt
shortening. Cook chicken uncovered, heat for 20 to 30 minutes on each
side or until cooked through.
