Old-Fashioned Southern Fried Chicken
Ingredients
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 (4 pound) chicken, cut into pieces
  • 1 quart vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
  • 1 cup sherry
Instructions
1
Combine the dry ingredients of flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a paper bag.
2
Add chicken pieces one by one to the mixture; thoroughly coat each piece and place it on a tray.
3
Heat 1 inch of oil in a large skillet over high heat, allowing it to reach the desired temperature.
4
Cook the chicken in the hot oil until it's golden brown and no longer pink in the center, as indicated by an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
5
Transfer the cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate, allowing excess oil to drip away.
6
Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in some sherry, covering it with a lid.
7
Simmer the chicken for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
