I have the pieces already breaded in ap flour, cornstarch and s&p (LOTS of pepper.....) and are on a rack in the refrigerator, uncovered, so the flour can adhere to the meat and not fall off when I fry it in a bit of bacon fat (for flavor) and vegetable shortening.
After fried and crispy I'll hold the meat in a warm oven as I make a gravy with the leftover breading flour mixture and buttermilk/whole milk.
Mashed potatoes & green beans will finish off my meal.
