CHICKEN FRIED CHICKEN & CREAM GRAVY

Steps:

• Mix Flour, saltines, Lawry's, Tony Chachere's, black pepper, ground red pepper, and baking powder in a shallow dish. Mix eggs and milk in a separate dish. Dredge chicken cutlets in the flour mixture, then the milk mixture and again in the flour mixture. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow the flour to adhere to the chicken. Pour oil 1/4 in deep in a large frying pan over medium high heat. Add 2 TBSP bacon grease to the oil. After oil is heated, add the cutlets to the pan, cooking 4 at a time. Fry until golden brown on both sides and cooked through. (It took me between 10 - 12 minutes total for each batch, a meat thermometer helps!) Remove that batch of cutlets onto a paper towel covered pan or plate. Add more oil as needed and finish the second batch.
• Once the chicken is done cooking, it is time to make the gravy. Remove all but 1/4 cup of drippings in the pan, making sure to leave all the tiny bits in the bottom. Over medium heat, whisk in the flour until smooth then add in the milk and keep whisking until it starts to thicken. Add the salt and pepper and taste to adjust for seasonings. Serve the gravy over your chicken with some mashed potatoes and something GREEN!!!!

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK WITH CREAM GRAVY

Steps:

• To make Chicken Fried Steak: Heat a deep, heavy skillet with at least 1/2-inch of oil to 340 degrees F. Alternatively, heat oil in a deep fryer to 340 degrees F.
• Cut steak into 1/2-inch thick slices to make 6 (6-ounce) portions and remove any fat or gristle. Pound it with the coarse side of a tenderizing mallet until it is double in size and half as thick. In a shallow bowl, make an egg wash by combining the eggs and milk. In another shallow bowl or pan, make a seasoned breading by combining the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the steak in the seasoned flour, dip it in the egg wash, and then return it to the flour and push the flour into the steak with your fingers so that there are no moist spots. Immediately slide the steak into the hot oil, in batches as necessary to prevent overcrowding, and fry on 1 side until golden and crispy; then turn over and cook the rest of the way. The steaks are done when you lift them with a pair of tongs and they are stiff, not floppy. Keep warm while making the gravy.
• To make Cream Gravy: Mix the canola oil and flour in a saucepan and cook this roux over medium heat until it looks grainy and becomes slightly golden in color, just a couple of minutes. Remove from heat. Add pepper and salt and mix well. Add milk, return the pan to the heat, and increase heat to high. Whisk until mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Add hot water to thin, if gravy is too thick. Remove from heat to prevent scorching. The gravy should be as thick as pancake batter. Pour over chicken fried steak and serve.
