FRIED CHICKEN - Marie Rogers
(Everone likes this !)
Cut up chicken, remove as much skin and fat as possible. Soak in water for 2 hrs or overnite in refrigerator. Drain and dredge in 2-3 cups of flour and 2 Tablespoons of salt which has been mixed in a large plastic bag, a few pieces at a time. Fry in 1/2 to 1 inch of MAZOLA CORN OIL, brownin on one side and then the other. I use a heavy iron skillet for this. Drain on paper towels until served.
