Fried Chicken with GravyI don't know about you, but I love gravy with almost any meat. Chicken gravy ranks among my favorite.1/2 cup flour 1 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon perrper 2 1/2 - 3 pounds chicken pieces cooking oil In a plastic bag, combine the flour, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Add the pieces of chicken 2 or 3 at a time and shake them up to coat them. Add oil to a heavy skillet - about 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep. Heat the skillet over a medium heat until it is hot (test by adding a drop of water - it should sizzle) Add the chicken and do not crowd it together.Cook it uncovered for about 15 minutes, turning it so that it browns evenly. Reduce the heat and cover it. You want to cook the chicken until it is not pink, maybe another 15 minutes or so. Remove the pieces of chicken and drain on paper towels, then transfer to a serving plate and keep warm. You can also brown the chicken and then place the pieces into a deep baking pan and put them in the oven (with all the drippings) at about 375 degrees for 30 - 40 minutes. I prefer this method as I can easily keep my chicken warm by turning the oven to warm when I prepare the gravy. To make the chicken gravy, pour the drippings into a skillet. Add 2 tablespoons flour, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and stir until smooth. Add 1 2/3 cup milk and cook while stirring for another minute or so, until the gravy is thick and bubbling.
