With salt and pepper on both sides. Coat each Piece with flour, well coated. In a large frying pan, melt olid Crisco shortening. Black iron skillet is best but not necessary. Grease Should be at least 1-2 inches deep. Test grease For hotness by dropping small amount of water
In it. If it pops, it is ready!!!
Brown one side of chicken, no lid. Turn each piece Over, reduce flame, cover with lid. Cook about
15 or 20 minutes with cover. Remove cover and
finish cooking until chicken is crispy. May have to
turn one or two times more, but no more lid!!
You can test for doneness by inserting a toothpick.
