Lemon-Pepper Fried Chicken image

This lemon-pepper chicken was popular with my friends in grad school. We used to do the prep work at our desk and coffee table in the living room since we had only about 1 1/2 square feet of counter space in our tiny kitchenette. Serve chicken over rice with gravy, garnished with freshly ground pepper and lemon zest.

Tips:

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This will help prevent foodborne illness and ensure the chicken is cooked evenly throughout.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken. This will cause the chicken to steam instead of fry, resulting in soggy chicken. Fry the chicken in batches if necessary.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan or Dutch oven for frying the chicken. This will help prevent hot spots and ensure the chicken cooks evenly.
  • Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper before frying. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken.
  • Make sure the chicken is completely coated in the flour mixture before frying. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Fry the chicken until it is golden brown and crispy. This will take about 8-10 minutes per side.
