Fried chicken

Put chicken in large bowl and cover with water with 2 tbsp salt. Refrigerate for 4 hrs or overnight.

Pour oil into frying pan or deep skillet 1" deep. Heat oil to 375°F.

Remove chicken from water. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Coat each piece with flour.

Carefully place chicken in oil. Place cover on the pan allowing room for steam. Cook 15 mins.

Turn each chicken piece. Replace cover and cook another 15 mins or until done. Slice chicken to bone to check doneness.
