Easy Fried Chicken Recipe
Directions
  • Salt and pepper the cut up chicken.
  • Heat (on medium-high)  2 tablespoons canola oil in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the chicken pieces in a single layer. When the oil is hot, add the chicken, skin side down, and cook until nicely browned, about 5 minutes. Brown the other side. Reduce heat to  medium and continue to cook the chicken, turning occasionally, for about 20 minutes or until done.
  • Serve immediately, or remove to a warmed platter  and deglaze the pan with 1/2 cup wine or broth, stirring to get up all the browned bits. Taste for seasoning, pour over chicken and serve.
