Picnic Main Course - Fried Chicken

This has been a good series of recipes the last few days. We are ending with the the main course of our picnic meal... Mouth-watering and appetite pleasing fried chicken. This is the greatest recipe. Good hot or cold and it goes great with the potato salad and baked beans from yesterdays post.

Garlic Fried Chicken

2, 2 1/2 pound frying chickens cut in pieces
2 tablespoon of lemon juice
1 cup of sour cream
1 clove of garlic, grated
1/4 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
1/4 teaspoon of celery salt

Wipe the chicken pieces with a damp cloth and store in container with tight fitting lid.

Mix all ingredients together, pour over chicken, and let marinate in the refrigerator overnight.

When ready to fry, drain the liquid from the chicken pieces and dredge them in flour, heat some vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat and brown the chicken pieces on all sides.

Lower the heat and cover skillet and cook for 35-40 minutes.

I am fond of boneless chicken breast for picnics because there are no bones to dispose of and it also cooks quicker but with the availability pre-cut chicken it is a snap to prepare.

Have a great picnic and we will see you next week.
