Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Fried Chicken with Creamy Gravy.
Step 1
To start your delicious fried chicken journey, grab a medium bowl and whisk together 1/2 cup of milk and a beaten egg until they’re perfectly blended.
Step 2
Next, take a resealable plastic bag and combine flour, garlic salt, paprika, black pepper, and poultry seasoning for a flavorful coating.
Step 3
Now, it’s time to add the chicken pieces to the bag.
Step 4
Seal it up tight and give it a good shake, ensuring each piece is evenly coated in that tasty flour mixture.
Step 5
For an extra crispy finish, dip each coated chicken piece into the milk and egg mixture, then return it to the flour mixture for a second layer of goodness.
Step 6
Heat up some vegetable oil in a large skillet until it reaches a sizzling 365°F (185°C).
Step 7
Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil, allowing them to brown beautifully on all sides.
Step 8
Once they’re golden and crispy, lower the heat to medium-low and let the chicken cook until it’s tender and juicy, which should take about 30 minutes.
Step 9
When it’s done, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it drain on paper towels to get rid of any excess oil.
Step 10
Now, let’s make a rich and creamy gravy! Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the frying oil from the skillet.
Step 11
Over low heat, stir in 2 tablespoons of the reserved flour mixture, cooking for about 2 minutes while stirring constantly to create a roux.
Step 12
Gradually whisk in chicken broth, making sure to scrape up any delicious browned bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet.
Step 13
Next, add in 1 cup of milk and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring continuously to keep it smooth.
Step 14
Once it’s bubbling, reduce the heat to low and let the gravy simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing those flavors to meld together beautifully.
Step 15
Serve this luscious gravy immediately over your crispy fried chicken, and enjoy a comforting meal that’s sure to impress!.
