Mama's Fried Chicken Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken

   In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture until fully coated.

2. 2

   Fry the Chicken

   Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated chicken breasts and fry for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

3. 3

   Cook the Corn

   Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add corn on the cob and cook for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Drain and serve with butter.

4. 4

   Make Mashed Potatoes

   Peel and chop potatoes, then boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash with butter and milk until smooth. Season with salt to taste.

5. 5

   Prepare Gravy

   In a saucepan, use the leftover oil from frying chicken to make a roux by adding equal parts flour and chicken broth. Cook until thickened, stirring constantly.
