go buy whatever chicken parts you wanna eat.
buy peanut oil. moms won’t use anything else.
get some flour.
wash the chicken and put it in a bowl of salt water, throw it in the fridge, and let it soak in it all night. plenty of salt.
put the peanut oil in it the pan and let it get really hot. take a few drops of water and flick it in the oil. when it pops loudly, it’s hot enough.
get a ziplock baggie and put flour, salt and pepper in it.
take the chicken, rinse it off in cold water and put a piece in the bag, close it and shake it. not only that, though, press the chicken into the flour so it’s completely covered.
place the chicken in the pan on high to fairly high heat. let the bottom side brown a bit, not too much, though.
turn the pieces over and let that side brown.
the trick is in the flame. when both sides have browned, turn the flame down and COVER THE CHICKEN with the lid. this is very important in the process of dogtown chicken cooking.
check on it after about 5 minutes or so, turn it over a few times.
when the chicken is golden brown, take the lid off and turn the flame all the way up.
turn it over a few more times.
make some gravy with the grease, using flour. it goes well with mashed potatoes and a green vegetable like asparagus.
i’ll kill men who come in-between me and it.

wow, thank you so much, allison! a while back, i was tempted to delete it, thinking it was a little much on the corny side.
