I recently purchased your Cook'n Recipe Software and love it! I have tried several other cookbook programs but found them unsatisfactory.

My main goal was to put my own recipes into a system that was easy and quick. I have put in about 20 so far, and I love it. It is so easy to use.

I have tried several of your recipes and they all have been wonderful!

Thank you!!

	Double-Cooked Fried Chicken

Serves: 4

Traditionalists may disagree, but there's more than one way to fry a chicken. My method fries the chicken to form the delicious crust, then bakes it on a wire rack to give grease-free, evenly cooked, perfect final results. Simple ingredients make the best chicken: a tangy buttermilk and hot sauce marinade, and flour, salt, and pepper for the coating. (It's a waste to season the chicken flour with lots of herbs and spices, because they will only scorch and lose their flavor when deep-fried.)

   4 pounds chicken (1 bird)
   2 cups buttermilk
   1 tablespoon red hot pepper sauce, such as Tabasco
   1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
   1 teaspoon salt
   1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
   Vegetable shortening or vegetable oil for deep-frying

1. Using a sharp knife, cut the bird into 8 pieces, leaving about one third of the breast attached to each wing so the wing portion will be more substantial. Rinse the chicken and pat dry with paper towels.

2. In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk and hot pepper sauce. Add the chicken and mix well. Cover and refrigerate, stirring the chicken occasionally, for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.

3. Drain the chicken. Mix the flour, salt, and pepper in a large paper bag or large bowl. A few pieces at a time, toss the chicken in the flour mixture to coat. Place on waxed paper and let stand for 15 minutes at room temperature to set the coating.

4. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place a large wire cake rack over a jelly roll pan. In a deep, large skillet, melt vegetable shortening to a depth of 2 to 3 inches and heat it to 375°F. Add the chicken and deep-fry, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, about 12 minutes. Transfer to the wire racks and bake until the chicken shows no sign of pink when pierced at the bone, about 15 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature. (Fried chicken is best served within 2 hours of frying, and shouldn't be refrigerated, as refrigeration gives the chicken breasts a cottony texture.)
