KFC Chicken

6 cups Crisco cooking oil

1 egg beaten

2 cups milk

2 cups all-purpose flour

4 tablespoons of salt

2 teaspoons black pepper

3 tablespoons spice mixture (recipe follows)

2 frying chickens with skin, each cut into 8 pieces

Pour the oil into pressure cooker and heat over medium heat to about 400º.

In a small bowl combine the egg and milk.

In a separate bowl, combine the remaining dry ingredients.

Dip chicken pieces in the egg and milk mixture. Roll the moistened

chicken in the flour mixture until completely coated.

In groups of 4 or 5 pieces, drop the coated chicken pieces into the

oil and lock the lid in place.

When steam begins shooting through the pressure release, set the timer

for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, release the pressure according to the manufacturer’s

instructions and remove the chicken to paper towels or metal rack to

drain. Repeat with remaining chicken.

note: you may not have a pressure cooker, but this recipe is good

frying in the standard way. just adjust your timing until chicken is

done. but, if you have a pressure cooker, please use it….it’s great!

this spice mixture can be made and kept in a tightly sealed jar and

used to flavor soup, sprinkle on roasting chicken, for stuffing, etc.
