So, when you gentlemen are talking about Crisco, are you talking the white solid, or the oil?

Thanks!
My cardiologist considers canola oil to be the least of evils.
If it were not for my cardiologist, I might be posting from six feet under. Not much of that going around.

bad thing about canola oil when heated is the fishy taste

If it were not for my cardiologist, I might be posting from six feet under. Not much of that going around. Cardiovascular disease is caused by a high starch diet, not by animal fat consumption. Sure, if the interior walls of your arteries are damaged from a high starch diet, blood cholesterol will indeed contribute to plaque formation (which forms like scabs for the purpose of healing the damaged arterial walls), but addressing the cholesterol without addressing the cause of the problem to start with is putting the cart before the horse. You're supposed to have cholesterol in your blood ... both kinds. It serves several vital functions in your body. What you're not supposed to have are chronically damaged interior arterial walls from a high starch diet, which walls are thus prone to plaque formation, buildup, and eventual occlusion. Quit the starch and arteries heal up. That's what cardiologists should be telling folks.

Try this method
Dredge the pieces in flour with some salt and pepper added
Heat your oil of choice pretty hot and brown the chicken on both sides.(some fresh garlic in the oil is a good thing) We aren't trying to cook it through, just brown it.
Add a little water to the pan reduce heat and cover
Steam the pieces for awhile without turning them.
Remove the lid and turn up the heat until the water is gone and the chicken is browned. Turn it and brown the other side.
Sorry, I can't give you cooking times.
This is the way my Grandmother fried chicken and it is very good
I know she used lard. Ken

fried chicken dang sure ain't hard. That's cuz your an expert!  .... an internet expert that is. He's a little better than that. I've shared camp with Keith and looking forward to again next month. Chicken always benefits from brining. Whether it's fried, grilled or baked. It makes a huge difference! I don't fry chicken often any more, but when I do I use an electric skillet with peanut oil. Do multiple batches so you don't crowd it. All I add to the flower is salt, pepper and tarragon. Now I want some. Bob

I sure wished you fellows would stop talking about Fried Chicken!!! Just Makes my mouth water ever time I read this thread!  Makes me think about my Grandmaw on the farm ringing a chickens neck, cuttin it up, & deep frying it in her big old iron skillet using good ole lard for the grease. Along with home made french fries & white gravy made in that same skillet! And home maid sourdough bisquite to go with it. One of my favorite childhood memories! I've still got her ole iron skillet, but no matter what I do, I can't cook it as good as she did!

I use a cast iron skillet, coat the chicken with poultry seasonings, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, then coat with flour. I usually use olive oil to cook.
The girls and I love it, but then again, I am a single Dad, so they better!!!!!! I actually use an original Griswold cast iron "Chicken Fryer" pan with matching cast iron lid. Works awesome. This thread inspired me to bid on an old Griswold "Chicken Fryer" pan on Ebay. The sucker went past $200!  I didn't buy it. I had no idea old cast iron was that pricey. Eric

The best fried chicken I have ever had is the way my wife does it.
She soaks it in buttermilk, overnight in the refrigerator, then rolls it in flour to coat.
She deep fries it in an old Dutch Oven, using Olive Oil, or other deep frying oil.
Her's is so much better, I won't order it when we go out, because I have never tasted restaurant chicken near as good.
