1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. paprika or cajun spice could be used.
1/4 tsp. pepper
21/2 to3 lb. frying chicken,cut up or 4 to 8 chicken breasts will work.
salad oil or vegetable oil is what I use for frying
1 pkg. dry onion soup mix
1 1/2 c. hot water
1 can condensed cream of mushroom or chicken soup
Mix flour, salt, paprika or cajun spice and pepper. (I also cook whole chicken breasts for adults and for my kids I make chicken nuggets and strips of chicken breast and trim off fat for my picky eater). Coat chicken with flour mixture. Cook chicken in oil over medium heat about 6 or 7 for crispier chicken for 15 to 20 minutes, I find at 7, 15 minutes in enough. If you want crispier leave in a lil longer. I omit the rest of the recipe the sauce and just eat as fried chicken. Meanwhile , mix onion soup mix with hot water and add mushroom soup. Blend well. Place drained chicken pieces in 2 quart casserole and pour mixture over top. Cover and bake 30 to 40 min at 350. Gravy may be served over rice,potatoes or bread stuffing. If you have some who want the sauce and picky eaters who don't like it leave fried chicken out for the picky eaters then make the rest of the recipe for the rest of the family. I have picky eaters who don't like the sauce some who do, this is how I make the recipe I do fried chicken and once in a while with the sauce for those who like it. Serves 4 to 6
