Southern-Fried Chicken





1 3 lb chicken, cut up


1/3 cup butter milk


1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper


1/2 cup flour


1 teaspoon salt


2/3 cup lard





1. Combine flour, salt and pepper in a paper or plastic bag. Dip chicken in the buttermilk. Shake one or two pieces of chicken in bag to coat.





2. In a large deep cast iron frying pan, melt lard over medium-high heat to 375 degrees. I use the splatter test, put a little water on your fingers and flip it into the grease, when it splatters the heat is right. Add chicken pieces and cook turning frequently until brown and crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain on paler towels
