Cold Skillet Fried Chicken?

Does anyone have the recipe from the original Cooking.com site? I believe it belonged to CJS and was made in an electric skillet.

Gosh, Pea, I don't have that one. Possibly a pm to Lisa would get a connection to CJS ~ she had many of the email addresses of the members....

Sorry I couldn't help.

I found it on another site by Googling it, took me several tries and wordings but finally found it, and I'll post it.

COLD OIL CHICKEN
You don't really need an electric skillet, it just makes it so much easier. From CJS of original Cooking.com site.

2/3 c flour
1 tsp each: garlic salt & seasoned salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp each: pepper, rubbed sage, thyme leaves, & dried basil
3 c oil (approx.)
Chicken pieces

In a bag, combine all the seasonings. In a deep electric frying pan, pour in 1/2" of oil. Shake each piece of chicken in flour mixture & place skin side down in the cold oil. Cover the pan & turn to 350°. When you hear the chicken frying & sizzling loudly, set a timer & cook for 15 min. Remove cover & turn pieces over. Cook, uncovered for 10 min. longer or till meat next to bone is done.

Now how cool is that? Good internet investigating, Pea!

And now that I see the recipe I remember reading it before!

Good job ~ thanks!

Jean has her own forum.I can never remember the name. I can find it. later.

I always thought you had the oil hot..
