Deep Fried Chicken Recipe

I usually oven-fry my chicken (with breadcrumbs or cornflakes), but it's SOOOO hot deep here in the heart of Texas. So I'm looking for a new twist on Chicken & Gravy without deep frying the crap out of my chicken in 5 inches of oil, and therefore setting myself (& family) up for a heart attack within the next year! Maybe something pan-fried in EVOO, spicy... something unique. I have the most awesome gravy recipe, so that's a given. Butler's Really Good Gravy 2 Tablespoons All-Purpose Flour 2 Heaping Tablespoons Butter (Margarine, Tub Butter) 1/2 Huge TBS Pepper 1 - 2/3 Milk 1-2 TBS Butter Extra for Good Measure Melt Butter in pan or pot. Add Flour & Pepper and blend, making a roux of sorts. Add Milk all at once, stir over medium heat until all thick and bubbly, adding more butter, pepper and salt (depending on taste). If you're not from Texas you might want to thin this a bit with milk, 'cuz it coats heavily.

try gravy and chicken!

Chicken curry and mashed potatoes= yummy

ok this may sound a little weird but...I like to pan fry my chicken (boneless/skinless breast), cut it up, add it to any type of pasta you have, and mix with chicken gravy (or your gravy)...maybe add some fresh veggies (pan seared) like carrot, peas, whatever...its sort of a "whatevers in the cupboard/frig" dish but it is good!

An old Pennsylvania Dutch dish is chicken (Usually baked) with gravy over homemade waffles. Sounds crazy, but it's really good!

How about BBQ'd? Its really tasty.. mmm... As far as being healthy.. you might want to reconsider the gravy part.

You might want to try going to www.allrecipes.com or www.cookinglight.com. All Recipes has a great lookup feature that you can use to add ingredients that you would like to be included or excluded in search results. Cooking Light is a bit more cumbersome to navigate but includes some really tasty dishes. Don't let the name fool you. I haven't been let down by any of the recipes I've gotten from this site. Happy cooking!

When its hot out, I will roast a chicken in my gas grill. I turn the burner on one side of the grill, and put the bird in a pan on the other side. If you want spice, rub some Jerk seasoning on the bird before roasting (might not work with your gravy however) And how about sharing that gravy recipe in add in comments to your question

Boil your chicken pieces until just done, in broth, stock or water. Remove from the heat, let cool until you canm handle them. (Use the broth for soup or gravy.) Dice or shred the chicken, add it to your panfull of cooked gravy. Serve over baking powder bicuits. That's how we do it here in the Northeast. :)))
