INDIANA FRIED CHICKEN
This superb style of fried chicken, found in southeastern Indiana, relies on a heavy use of black pepper. Wagner's Village Inn, a bar and restaurant in Oldenburg, stays true to the old-school method of skillet-frying in lard, and makes some of the best fried chicken in the area. The use of lard results in a very rich flavor, but canola oil is an acceptable substitute. At Wagner's, the cooks add two tablespoons of water to the skillet just before removing the fried chicken, believing it "seals in the flavor." Maybe, maybe not, but it's a festive finish to this exquisitely simple dish.

Steps:
- Remove the legs from the chicken at the joint. Separate the drumsticks from the thighs at the joint by placing the leg skin side down and following the line of fat that runs directly above the joint. Remove the wings at the joint. Place the chicken neck side down and separate the back from the breast using a knife or kitchen shears. Cut the breast into quarters. Cut the back in half crosswise.
- Transfer the chicken pieces to a large bowl. Sprinkle evenly with the salt and pepper and toss to coat, rubbing the chicken pieces to make sure the seasoning is uniformly distributed.
- Add the lard or oil to a large, deep cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven. You should have about 1 inch of fat, enough that the chicken will be submerged about three-quarters of the way up. Heat over high until the oil reaches 350 degrees, reducing the temperature as needed to medium or medium-high to keep it around 350 degrees.
- Add the flour to a large bowl and dredge the chicken in the flour until thoroughly coated. Working in 2 batches, carefully lay half the chicken into the hot fat and pan-fry, turning the pieces frequently for even cooking, until the chicken is golden brown and the thighs are cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes per batch.
- Just before removing the chicken, turn off the heat. Carefully add 2 tablespoons of water to the fat. (It will boil up immediately. Add the water directly to the fat at a close range in the center of the skillet to minimize splatter; feel free to use a ladle if you don't want to get too close.) When the water has cooked off and the vigorous bubbling has subsided, transfer the chicken to a paper-towel-lined plate. Turn the heat back on, bringing the oil back to 350 degrees, and fry the remaining batch of chicken, turning off the heat before adding the final 2 tablespoons of water. Transfer chicken to another paper towel-lined plate and serve immediately.
CURRY FRIED CHICKEN WITH ROASTED SWEET POTATOES
These crispy chicken thighs seasoned with a tangy yogurt curry sauce get coated with rice cereal for extra crunch. A common technique in India, marinating with yogurt tenderizes more gently and evenly and adds extra moisture to meats.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Mix 1/4 cup yogurt, the garlic, 2 teaspoons curry powder, 1 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of black pepper and the cayenne in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat; set aside.
- Pierce the sweet potatoes all over with a fork. Bake on a baking sheet until tender, about 25 minutes. Meanwhile, pulse the cereal in a food processor until finely ground; season with salt, black pepper and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon curry powder. Transfer to a shallow baking dish.
- Heat 1/2 inch peanut oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Press the chicken into the cereal, turning to coat. Add half of the chicken to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack set on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Transfer to the oven and bake until cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- Mix the ketchup with the steak sauce and cilantro. Split open the sweet potatoes; top with the remaining 1/2 cup yogurt and season with salt and black pepper. Serve the chicken with the potatoes and ketchup; top with more cilantro.

- Combine flour, pepper, and salt in a brown paper lunch bag; close bag, and shake vigorously until pepper and salt are evenly distributed. Working with 1 piece at a time, add chicken to flour mixture; close bag, and shake to coat chicken. Place coated chicken on a baking sheet.
- Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium to 350°F. (Oil should remain at 350°F for frying, so adjust heat from medium to medium-high as needed to maintain temperature.)
- Working in 3 or 4 batches, add chicken to hot oil, being sure not to overcrowd Dutch oven. Fry chicken, turning often to ensure even cooking, until skin is crispy and browned and a thermometer inserted in thickest portion of meat registers 165°F, 10 to 15 minutes for drumsticks, thighs, and wings and 15 to 20 minutes for breasts (depending on size of pieces).
- Transfer cooked chicken to a bowl or baking sheet lined with paper towels; sprinkle with salt to taste.
