Fried Chicken and Gravy
This Fried Chicken and Gravy is so simple and truly a spectacular dish! The chicken has a pan-fried batter that crisps and browns up beautifully and is then baked to tender perfection. The gravy is flavorful and the perfect compliment to the chicken.
Christmas is ONE WEEK from today and I am bursting at the seams with excitement! However, between several family and friend parties and busy season in work, I am overwhelmed when it comes to figuring out dinner. Sometimes keeping flavors simple at meal time is just the ticket to keeping my sanity. Today’s recipe is comfort food at its finest!
I love a good chicken and gravy and this one is a family favorite! The chicken is marinated overnight. It is pan fried then baked. The batter covered chicken is seasoned to perfection. As if the chicken wasn’t delicious enough, it is then smothered in a fantastic simple gravy.
If you need a delicious new dinner idea that the whole family will love, then give this a try! It is outstanding!
