New Orleans Fried Chicken
- 1 1/2 cups peanut oil, for frying
- One 12-ounce can evaporated milk
- 1 cup water
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- Salt and freshly ground white pepper
- One 3- to 3 1/2-pound chickenrinsed, patted dry and cut into 8 pieces
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chopped dill pickles
- 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
- In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil to 350.
- In a bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk, water and egg and season generously with salt and white pepper.
- Season the chicken with salt and white pepper and dip each piece in the milk mixture and then in the flour.
- Add the chicken to the skillet and cook over moderate heat, turning often, until golden and cooked through, about 25 minutes; lower the heat so that the chicken doesn't brown too quickly.
- Transfer the chicken to a rack to drain, then arrange the pieces on a platter, sprinkle with the pickles and parsley and serve.
