Chicken Fried Chicken

House Gravy

Herbed Roasted Fingerling Potatoes

Method

Chicken Fried Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder on both sides.

  2. 2

    Dredging Station

    Set up a dredging station with three bowls: one with buttermilk, the second with flour, and the third with a mixture of flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

  3. 3

    Coat the Chicken

    Dip each seasoned chicken breast into the buttermilk, then dredge in the flour mixture until well coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated chicken; fry until golden brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

House Gravy

  1. 5

    Make the Roux

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 2-3 minutes until it turns a light golden color.

  2. 6

    Add Broth

    Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes.

  3. 7

    Season the Gravy

    Season the gravy with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well and remove from heat.

Herbed Roasted Fingerling Potatoes

  1. 8

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Rinse the fingerling potatoes under cold water and pat them dry.

  2. 9

    Season the Potatoes

    In a bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

  3. 10

    Roast the Potatoes

    Spread the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and tender, flipping halfway through.
