COUNTRY FRIED CHICKEN

I really like fried chicken a lot, but I do not like it greasy. This recipe is great because you fry your chicken for just a minute and then bake it the rest of the way. This helps it to not be so greasy. I love this meal at restaurants, so I decided to start making it from home. I have always made fried chicken before, but I love eating it with Country gravy...which I just started making.

Ingredients:
Chicken Breasts
Flour
Eggs
Oil
Country Gravy Packet

Directions:
1. Heat up some oil in a skillet on medium-high. Preheat oven to 250. Grease your casserole dish.

2. If your chicken is a thick breast, then pound it flat. I like my fried chicken to be thinner, about 1/2 in thickness or so...and even in flatness. On a plate put down a lot of flour. To season your chicken you are going to season it on this step. Pour TONS of your seasonings on your plate of flour. I like to season mine with Lawry's (seasoning salt), Garlic, and Pepper. Make sure to pour a ton of seasonings...be VERY VERY generous.

3. Crack open a couple eggs in a bowl and beat them. Dip your chicken breast into the egg and cover it on both sides. Take the chicken out of the egg and put it on the plate of flour. I use a spoon and spoon on tons of flour on the top of the chicken. Turn it over and do the same to the other side. Dip it in the egg again and repeat the same step in the flour again.

4. Take the chicken from the flour and set it in the hot oil. Once it gets golden brown on one side which just takes a minute, turn it to the other side to brown. Watch your chicken carefully so that you don't burn your chicken in the oil. Transfer your chicken into your greased dish. Put your chicken in the oven and cook for 2 hours. If you like your batter to be crispy then crank up the heat to 450 for about 10 minutes at the very end of cooking it.

(Cooking it on a low temperature for 2 hours will cook it slowly and help your chicken to not dry out)

5. When you chicken is finished, pull it out of the oven to start cooling. In the meantime, prepare your country gravy as it says on the packet. Sometimes the gravy can be quite thick, so add more liquid to it if you desire. You can also add some salt and pepper to the gravy if you'd like so it would add a little more flavor.

6. Pour your gravy over the chicken breasts and serve.

(1 packet gravy should be enough for 2-3 chicken breasts)
