I didn't have a cast-iron skillet, so I used a regular one. I think the cast-iron is the key because my chicken stuck to the pan a little. Other than that, the chicken was really good. Mine came out pretty juicy and the coating was crispy. I'm going to try this again (with the cast-iron skillet) for my next family get-together. Thanks, Marilyn!

This was just like my mom used to make. It was good and basic. An iron skillet is really a must. I didn't really change anything. In the end, I drained off most of the oil and made cream gravy with the drippings. Great over rice. I also looked at the Fried Chicken Recipe by Shirley. They are very similar and combined the instructions for both recipes. I gave this one an extra star because of the great tips it included.

I have chicken thawing at home and wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it, until I remembered this recipe. My Mom made the best fried chicken, but of course she doesn't use a recipe. I have never had any luck trying to recreate the taste and texture of her chicken until I tried this recipe. It came out just like Mom's, maybe even a little better!!!! Thanks for a wonderful recipe and all the great tips!

I was craving Fried chicken, so when i came upon this recipe i was stunned to see how simple it looked. I loved it. I did add a little more salt and pepper, and i used oil instead of shortening. I will be making this again. AND so true about the cast iron skillet. didn't stick at all!

Thanks so much for the tip on using a heavy skillet. I always had problems with the chicken sticking before. I marinated the chicken with buttermilk and garlic for a couple hours before coating with flour and frying. Delicious and juicy!!

YUMMMMM!!! I made this tonight, and hubby loved it!! I added a Tablespoon each of garlic and onion powder to the flour, and since all I had was butter flavored Crisco, I used 1/2 cup of that with 1/2 cup canola oil, and it was great!!! Try it, it's easy to make and tastes great!

This was the first time I was ever able to make fried chicken not burnt chicken. The cast iron skillet is the key. Very very good. My husband and daughter loved it!

Very yummy. I'm a college student and living on my own for the first time. This was my first attempt at fried chicken and it turned out great. Easy recipe and so good that I went home to make it for my parents. The pan makes all the difference, defnitely use cast iron.

Just like the chicken I remember my Grandmother making in North Carolina. This will remain around in our house for years to come.

Although the outcome was good, I think additional seasoning is needed to give it an extra kick. I really liked using the shortening rather than oil to fry the chicken. It was less messy and did not splatter like oil will.

This recipe is easy and the results are wonderful. I've tried various and often complicated fried chicken recipes to find the perfect one, but sometimes the simpliest is the best.

I know all about this recipe, it was MY grandma's recipe, too! There's just no other way to make good fried chicken. And it is true, you do need a good iron skillet, or it's just not the same. I love the Christmas Day idea, too, I might have to adopt that tradition. ENJOY!!
