Method

Fried Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

  2. 2

    Prepare Coating

    In a shallow dish, add the all-purpose flour. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour, ensuring an even coating.

  3. 3

    Fry Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated chicken pieces (do not overcrowd). Fry for about 10-15 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove and drain on paper towels.

Country Gravy

  1. 4

    Make Roux

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.

  2. 5

    Add Milk

    Slowly whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes.

  3. 6

    Season Gravy

    Add salt and black pepper to taste. Keep warm while you prepare the side dishes.

Side Dishes

  1. 7

    Cook Green Beans

    In a pot of boiling water, add the trimmed green beans. Blanch for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking.

  2. 8

    Sauté Green Beans

    In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the blanched green beans, season with salt, and toss to coat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
