Ingredients:

Serving

at least
4 pieces each of
chicken drumsticks and
chicken thighs
(i dont use chicken breast, they are too big)
1 cup flour (approx .)
white pepper, freshly ground
1 teasp. salt
1 small tsp sweet red paprika powder
crisco
milk

Directions:

Heat large skillet with at least
1 cup of crisco, high heat
Wash chicken pieces
Put flour, salt, pepper, paprika into plastic bag
Put two chicken pieces at a time into bag, shake
Put chicken pieces in skillet,
After about 2 minutes, reduce heat to min.,
Cover
After 15 minutes, remove lid
Turn chicken carefully, heat on high, about 3-5 minutes
Cover
After about 15 minutes, remove lid
Turn chicken
Turn up heat (careful not to burn or flour will get bitter)
After about 5 minutes, turn heat to medium
Let chicken cook for a few more minutes
Taste for crispyness with finger - then decide if it needs more time, it depends on the chicken you've bought - bio or not, young or old...
Remove chicken from skillet
Drain on paper towels
Tip pan to remove all fat, leaving the beautiful brown residue,
Pour milk into skillet
Bring to boil, stirring constantly
It takes a few minutes, then flour will desolve, making a lovely, goey, tasty gravy.
Your may want to keep adding mild or chicken stock to get the consistence you want.
Normally, you need no more salt or other spices, maybe just a dash of worcester sauce.
