Anweisungen

Heat shortening in a large, cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.

Meanwhile, combine flour, salt, and pepper in a brown paper lunch bag. Add two chicken pieces, seal the bag, and toss to coat. Place coated chicken into the hot skillet and repeat with remaining chicken until all pieces are coated and in the skillet.

Fry chicken until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 25 minutes. Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high; continue cooking until chicken is deep golden brown and the juices run clear, about 5 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
