So... I'm your typical Southern Californian (Fried food is BAD! It will make you fat and give you heart attacks!!) but this was sooooo goooood!

I saw the pictures and I just had to try it. Something about the buttermilk, I think. The chicken was so tender and had a hint of that buttermilk flavor. I seasoned the flour with lemon pepper. Mmmm mmmm.

Miss Prissy how long would you cook chicken breasts
and Chicken legs for without the thigh attached? Approx. ??

and would you cover the pan? Merci

Glad you all are enjoying the chicken.

For chicken breasts make sure you have a 'fryer' and not a roaster. Those thick breasts are likely to burn before they cook through. Mine cook about the same time as the legs in general.

I use a thinnner breasted young cockeral for frying. We rarely buy chicken.

Using MP's suggestion to actually turn the heat down to 325 we made
our best fried chicken ever. We used our small deep fryer with a peanut/
vegie oil blend and tried a few batched with regular bread crumbs and
a few batches with seasoned flour. Double dipping helped a lot too.

The prep:

Reg bread crumbs:

Seasoned flour: YUMB

Yummmy! I pan fry with bread crumb coating. See my parmigiana thread.
