Down Home Chicken

This is a real Southern chicken dish. The buttermilk tenderizes the bird and the bacon fat brings back the down home flavor!

Step: 1

Place the cut up chicken into a large resealable bag or a 9x13 inch casserole dish. Pour the buttermilk over the chicken, seal or cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.

Step: 2

Remove the chicken from the buttermilk. In a bowl, stir together the salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, thyme, flour and sugar; pour onto a plate.

Step: 3

Heat the shortening and bacon drippings in a large skillet or electric skillet to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture and place it into the hot fat. Fry on one side for 10 minutes, then turn and fry 10 minutes on the reverse side. If softer skin is desired, cover the skillet for the last 10 minutes. Remove and drain on brown paper grocery bags. (The smaller pieces will be finished first. The chicken is done when the juices run clear.)

Depriving yourself can lead to lot of eat , 2.00 AM snacking, and mindless eating and it’s for this reason that Riner encourages people to indulge in “fun” foods every once in a while.

Avoidance on 2.00 AM snacking and cravings , it is much important to include some easy foods (or what one may perceive as unnecessary ). It means , if we can be order the healthiest thing on the menu but come home and graze on chips, perhaps we really will the burger and should have just pleased it in the first place."

When it comes to dinner , overeating or eating too much of the bad kinds of food can lead to bad habit on sleeping. On the other side, a daylight food that is not eating to much food than satiating can leave you wanting more and resulting in reaching for an unhealthy late-night snack even closer to bedtime .
