So far this week we’ve covered baking, but now it’s time to post a recipe for a fried treat that doubles as an American classic: Chicken and biscuits! You don’t have to come down South to get a real fried chicken dinner with a golden, crispy exterior and moist, mouth-watering center. As long as you have some chicken, a kitchen, and MERRILEE66’s Crisp Chicken and Biscuits, you’ve got it made.

Just recently, Kat, here at Key Ingredient, cloned this recipe and also followed the one for Traditional Southern Biscuits, which she claims are the best she’s ever made. Kat explains that she initially planned on oven-frying the chicken, but after the butter and shortening started to sizzle and smoke (right before the fire alarm went off!), she realized it’d be a much safer idea to use an iron skillet and some heated canola oil to fry it instead. She later used the oven to finish cooking the chicken and bake the biscuits at the same time - what a great way to save energy! Kat really liked how the salt, pepper, and paprika flavored the chicken, and she thoroughly enjoyed eating her homemade meal with a green salad.
