Family Recipe Friday... Grandma's Fried Chicken

Grandma's Fried Chicken

This is a recipe I learned about the age of 5 or 6 from my Grandma Bean.

It has served me well my entire life, and always get raves. It can't be made in a hurry, so figure on a good hour or so to complete this dish. It is a hands on dish and you must be attentive to get the best results!

Ingredients:

1-fryer chicken cut to appropriate pieces [I always cut up my own fryer, and never buy one pre-cut]

3/4 cup plain cornmeal [white or yellow is fine]

1-1/2 cup regular plain flour

4 eggs well beaten

salt and pepper to taste

about 3-4 cups of melted shortening, lard or vegetable oil

Preparation

1. Rinse chicken after cutting it up. Pat dry on paper toweling, or clean dish towel.

2. Set up dredging bowls. Place cornmeal in starter place. Next bowl eggs. And last bowl flour with salt and pepper whisked into it.

3. Place oil in cast iron chicken fryer, or other appropriat deep heavy skillet.  Heat over medium heat until oil is bubnbly when anything added.

4. Dredge chicken first through cornmeal. Shake off excess.

5. Dip chicken into egg, then over into flour. Coat thoroughly. Shake off excess flour and repeat the egg and flour dredge.

6. Place chicken directly into oil in skillet.

7. Place lid on skillet and watch for chicken to turn golden brown on bottom. Turn frequently to allow all sides to get evenly browned.

8. Place cooked chicken onto paper toweling or clean dish towel to allow excess oil to drain properly before serving.

9. This recipe yields approximately 12-14 pieces of golden fried chicken, depending upon method of cutting up carcass before frying.

NOTE: The pan drippings can be used after the chicken is cooked to make the most delicious gravy for putting over the chicken, or for biscuits!

Treasure Chest Thursday... George Carneix Civil War Records

Very little is known of George Carnefix's military service in the Civil War, other than what we find here.

We know he served as a Private in the Virginia Militia's 108th in Company F.

His name appears on a roll of names of individuals who received payment.

And again, he served as a Private.

George Carnefix was married to [1] Susan Elizabeth PATTESON about 1852 or '53. Susan died between 1858 and 1860. And on 02 May 1860, George married Mary Susan Daugherty of Monroe County.

George and Mary had one daughter, Elizabeth, born in 1861.

George is one of the individuals believed to have died in the Battle of Cedar Creek, Virginia on 19 Oct 1864. He never returned home.

Susan later married Jacob Wickline.
