My mom has always made the best fried chicken ever and I've never been able to mimic it---until now.
The key to Mom's great fried chicken is to dredge the chicken in a mixture of flour, salt and pepper, sear it on both sides in oil, and then turn the heat down lower, put the lid on, and let it slowly fry until it's perfectly golden. It's an art, I tell you, but I think I've got it down.
Thanks Mom!
