I am not a huge fan of frying chicken.

Oh, I'll eat it, but I really don't care to fry it.

I cook all the time, but I just never thought about frying it- I tossed in two HUGE pieces - whole breasts - the other day because I wanted something different.

I got the pan ready and realized that I don't know jack about making a decent piece of fried chicken.

I tried to bread it with crackers, a little flour and some spices and 'fried' it, but ended up with fried skin and crackers and a 'steamed' chicken.

I covered the pan with a cover because I didn't want to have to clean up the stove again.

I should post this in the Recipe Thread, but this is more a question re: technique more than recipes!

I just want a nice crispy chicken to eat!

P.S.
I have a steel and no stick pans. I do have a few cast iron jobs, but they are put away!!!!! The other thing is that I only cook for myself, so deep frying is more hassle for me-just because of the amount of oil involved!


Thanks!
