How To Make southern fried chicken

• Step 1
  Day One: You noticed I didn't put legs thighs or my favorite breasts and wings on the ingredient list. Adjust this to what YOU like . I'm just giving you the Techniques and tricks of good chicken. Weather It skinless boneless , with bone and skin. Place chicken in a salt water marinade (like sea water) Fairly loose so the chicken is swimming . Put in fridge.
• Step 2
  Day 2: My recipe states 2 cups of allpurpose flour. That is my base. Add to your taste .... season all , pepper, poultry seasoning. My flour mix is usually little pink in color but you get a bite from the pepper and taste the sage of poultry seasoning too. Place mix in paper bag. Mix an egg with a tablespoon of water . Dip chicken pieces into egg then into bag . Shake after each addition. After all chicken is coated place bag in fridge overnight.
• Step 3
  PRE-Heat your fry pan (1 inch of oil) to 300 degrees. Don't crowd your chicken . Breasts are usually 20 to 30 (bone in) minutes per side. Other pieces shorter. Internal Temp 170 degrees
• Step 4
  After all the chicken is cooked. Drain oil saving all the krispies of the chicken. Add a tablespoon of butter to pan and a tablespoon of flour to heated pan making a rouge. When bubbly and and cooked for a minute, add 1 cup of water or chicken stock or milk . Re add the krispies . NOTE : More chicken more gravy so this gravy recipe is for one cup .. just double it :P
