Daniel Boone's Favorite Honey-fried Chicken

Ingredients

  • Servings: 8
  • 2 cups shortening, or as needed
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 8 cut up chicken pieces
  • salt and pepper to taste

Recipe

    Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 25 mins Ready Time: 40 mins

  • melt shortening to a depth of 1/2 inch in a large heavy skillet to 350 degrees f (175 degrees c). whisk together the honey and white vinegar; set aside. whisk together the flour, poultry seasoning, and cayenne pepper in a bowl.
  • season the chicken pieces with salt and black pepper. roll chicken in the flour mixture to coat evenly; shake off excess. place the chicken in the preheated skillet, and cook until a light brown crust forms, about 3 minutes per side. turn the chicken pieces over and brown on the other side.
  • reduce heat to low. cover the skillet; cook until the meat is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees f (74 degrees c).
  • remove the cover, turn up the heat, and continue to cook, turning as needed, until the chicken is evenly browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. pour off most of the shortening. pour the honey mixture over the chicken and cook over medium-low heat, turning chicken pieces to coat, until liquid thickens, about 5 minutes.
