Ingredients:
3 1/2 pounds whole cut-up chicken |
2 (5-ounce) packets chicken fry coating (recommended: dixie fry) |
2 tablespoons salt-free chicken seasoning, divided (recommended: mccormick grill mates) |
canola oil, for frying |
2 (12-ounce) jars roasted chicken gravy (recommended: franco american) |
1 teaspoon crushed garlic |
Directions:
1. Cut away excess skin and fat from chicken pieces. Rinse with cold water and set aside; do not pat dry.
2. In a shallow bowl, stir together fry coating and 1 tablespoon chicken seasoning. Dredge chicken pieces in coating mixture; set aside.
3. In a large straight-sided pan, heat 1/2-inch oil over medium-high heat. Oil is ready for frying when a drop of water splatters when dropped in.
4. Fry coated chicken until golden brown, about 8 minutes per side. Remove chicken from pan and drain oil.
5. In a medium bowl, stir together gravy, remaining chicken seasoning, and crushed garlic; set aside.
6. Return chicken to pan over medium heat. Cover with gravy. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 to 20 minutes or until completely done (no pink near the bone).
7. Serve hot.
