Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
3½ pounds Chicken; (1 whole chicken)
1 large Egg
1½ cup Buttermilk
1 cup Flour
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
½ teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
1½ quart Vegetable oil

Directions

In a soup kettle bring two inches of water to a boil. Place a rack over the water, setting the chicken on top. Cover the pot and steam the chicken until it is almost cooked, approximately 15 to 18 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and cool. Cut into 8 serving pieces. In a medium bowl whisk the egg and buttermilk together. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt and pepper. Marinate the chicken in the buttermilk mixture for a few minutes; remove from the buttermilk and then dredge in the seasoned flour. In a large skillet or Dutch oven heat oil to 365 degrees. Fry the chicken in batches, if necessary, for approximately 7 minutes. Turn chicken and fry till golden brown about 7 minutes more. Remove the chicken and place onto paper towels and drain. Serve immediately. This recipe yields 4 servings.
