3/4 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 frying chicken (2 1/2 - 3 lb.), cut up
1/3 c. Crisco

In paper bag or plastic, combine flour, salt and pepper. Add chicken, a few pieces at a time, shake and coat. Preheat Crisco in electric skillet to 360 degrees or use medium high heat on range. Fry chicken for 30 minutes to 40 minutes, uncovered without lowering the heat. Turn chicken 4 to 5 times during frying for even browning.
