We all loved this fried chicken. My Mom always fried her chicken in a skillet instead of deep frying. The book says it's a bit healthier this way since you don't use as much oil. It has you coating in a mixture of all-purpose and whole wheat flours and some spices. Then in fridge on a rack over a sheet pan for while. You take it out 30 minutes before frying. I used a cast iron skillet. You turn the chicken every 5 minutes for a total of 25 minutes. Mine didn't seem completely done at that point so I did another five minutes. It was perfect. You let drain on a paper bag for another 5 minutes. I used paper towels instead.
