Southern Fried Chicken

Description

The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Heat the fat in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. In a brown paper bag, mix together flour, salt, and pepper. Place two pieces of chicken in the bag at a time and shake to coat with flour, then transfer them to the skillet. Repeat until all the chicken pieces are floured and placed in the skillet. Fry the chicken over medium heat until all pieces are browned on both sides. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover with a lid, and simmer for 25 minutes. Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Continue frying until the chicken pieces turn golden brown; the dish is ready when the juices run clear. Serve the dish hot.
