Directions:

Put about one inch of oil in electric frying pan. Preheat to 400 degrees.

Clean chicken pieces with water, and moisten on all sides. Coat each piece thoroughly with flour. Test oil to make sure it's hot enough, by sprinkling in some flour; if it sizzles, oil is ready. Tightly place chicken pieces in pan and cover with lid. Let chicken cook on one side for 10 minutes. Don't pick up the lid during this time to 'peek.' After ten minutes, open lid and gently but quickly turn chicken pieces over. Top of chicken should be golden brown and crunchy appearing. Close lid and cook on other side for 10 more minutes. Remove and put on paper towels to drain.
