Fried Chicken

Biscuits

Sausage Gravy

Red Skin Potatoes

Method

Fried Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs and buttermilk. Make sure the chicken is fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Prepare Coating

    In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Fry Chicken

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and dredge each piece in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Fry the chicken in the hot oil for 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Biscuits

  1. 4

    Prepare Biscuit Dough

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  2. 5

    Add Milk

    Make a well in the center and pour in the milk. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

  3. 6

    Bake Biscuits

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat into a 1-inch thick round. Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a glass. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Sausage Gravy

  1. 7

    Cook Sausage

    In a skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 8

    Make Gravy

    Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then gradually whisk in the milk. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens. Season with black pepper and salt to taste.

Red Skin Potatoes

  1. 9

    Prepare Potatoes

    Wash and scrub the red skin potatoes. Cut them into quarters or halves, depending on their size.

  2. 10

    Boil Potatoes

    Place the potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.

  3. 11

    Season and Serve

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to combine. Garnish with parsley before serving.
