  • Place chicken in pan/deep fryer and fry on each side 3-5 minutes until golden brown, remove and drain on paper towel lined plate, repeat with all chicken.
  • To make your gravy, in large pan add ¼" of oil from cooking and heat on medium-high, stir in your flour until absorbed and cook for about 1 minute.
  • Slowly add in your milk whisking to blend and heat until thickened then stir in salt and pepper to desired taste.

Notes

You can use a regular deep fryer to make this instead of in a skillet. If you don't want to use frying oil to make gravy, substitute butter or bacon grease. We use thin cut chicken you can buy at the store, but you can use a regular chicken breast and slice it in half. Add more or less seasoning to the flour and gravy to your liking.
