Use 2 fryers weighing about 2-½ to 3 lbs each. Pour boiling water over pieces and let stand for 15 minutes. Drain and dry between towels. Roll in flour seasoned with salt, pepper, paprika and 1 tsp ground ginger. Heat shortening, composed of two thirds lard and one third butter, in a heavy skillet. Shortening should be ½ inch deep. When hot, add chicken pieces and brown on all sides. Reduce heat, cover, and cook slowly until chicken is tender. This will take about 45 minutes. Place chicken pieces on heated serving platter; garnish with parsley and brandied peaches. Makes 6-8 servings.
