How to Fry Chicken, perfectly every time!
On medium high heat in a large frying pan, melt butter, Crisco and bacon fat. Let heat for about 5 minutes. Place chicken, two at a time, in the hot oil. Turn after about 7 1/2 minutes on each side. Chicken should be golden brown and cooked through until it is white and flaky.
Enjoy!
