1 chicken, cut up
1 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
2 sm. cans Crisco

Put flour, salt and pepper in a double paper bag and shake. Drop in a few pieces of chicken and shake until well coated. Heat about 1 can of Crisco in a large cast iron skillet until very hot, then gently place the floured chicken in. Cook until a dark golden brown is on both sides. Then repeat the process until all pieces of chicken have been cooked. Add more Crisco if needed.
