Default Fried Chicken

I made 4 pieces of fried chicken today. My entire place smells like
cooking oil. It has been 20-30 yrs since the last time I tried and I
conclude that KFC is worth every penny!

It was good, though I had to refry as I removed it too soon. When it
looks pretty...fry longer, and then let it rest longer after removing-it
continues cooking inside.

My Oneida 5inch deep 10inch wide pot with ultrathick stainless steel
bottom was perfect for this-nothing stuck.

I didnt wash the chicken. I lost count of the number of surfaces I
managed to bring raw chicken into contact with anyway. I used half a
roll of paper towels, two paper plates, two bowls, pot, tongs, slotted
spoon, kitchen shears, and numerous chlorox wipes, and I still feel like
I need to wash the kitchen down. No wonder my mother only made it twice
in my childhood.

Yup, KFC :-)

ps it took 14oz cooking oil-what do I do with 13oz hot cooking oil?
