SOUTHERN CHICKEN FRIED STEAK
It took me many tries before I felt I had a really good Chicken Fried Steak. This fries up extra crispy, so I pour a little gravy on the plate and place steak on top. This way you get to enjoy the crispy with the gravy and your steak coating won't get soggy. Enough gravy for mashed potatoes, too! I hope you like it as much as we do.

Steps:
- In medium bowl, place first 7 "dry" ingredients and mix well. Set aside.
- In another medium bowl, place the next 4 "liquid" ingredients and use whisk to mix well. Set aside.
- Carefully transfer dry mixture onto a dinner plate.
- Start heating oil of your choice to a medium high heat in large skillet (Cast Iron is true Southern style).
- The oil should be about 1/4" to 1/2" deep and should not cover the entire cutlet.
- Take a cutlet and dredge in flour mixture.
- Take same cutlet and dip in egg mixture until entirely coated.
- REPEAT dredging same cutlet in flour mixture.
- Repeat process for each cutlet.
- Discard unused egg and flour mixtures.
- In well heated oil, carefully place cutlets and fry until golden brown on bottom.
- Turn each cutlet over to brown the other side.
- Each side should take about 4 - 5 minutes.
- Place fried cutlets on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Pour off all but 1/4 C grease from skillet.
- Heat to a Medium High temperature.
- Slowly add Flour whisking until well blended. (Don't use leftover flour/cornmeal mixture).
- When the color slightly begins to darken, slowly add milk.
- Continue whisking to prevent lumps.
- Gravy will begin to bubble and thicken.
- Add evaporated milk and whisk well.
- Add chicken stock and whisk well.
- Add Salt and Pepper, blending well.
- Allow gravy to simmer 2 minutes on low heat.
- Turn off heat and allow to sit 2-5 minutes before serving.
- Gravy will thicken nicely.
CHICKEN FRIED STEAK W/ COUNTRY GRAVY
Steps:
- To season the tenderized steaks, mix together sea salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Season both sides of steaks. Set aside.
- In a large dish (I use a glass casserole dish) , whisk together flour, and all of the remaining coating mix seasonings until combined.
- In another large dish, place ½ cup of the seasoned flour into the dish. Add in the egg and enough milk to create a thick batter.
- Dip the steak in the flour mixture first, lightly coating both sides.
- Next dip the steak into the batter mixture, coating both sides and letting the excess drip off.
- Finally place the steak back into the flour mixture, being sure to press the flour into the steaks, coating both sides. Repeat until all steaks have been coated.
- Preheat your oven to 200 F. Place a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet and place it into the oven. (This will be where you will keep the cooked steaks to keep them warm until you are ready to serve).
- Fill a large deep skillet with about an inch of canola oil and heat to 350 F.
- Fry the steaks 1-2 at a time, (about 2-3 minutes per side) until golden. Place finished steaks on the cooling rack in the oven. Repeat until all steaks have been fried.
- Carefully drain the oil from the pan and wipe out the pan. (You can leave the flavorful brown bits in the bottom of the pan if desired. If you do, this will result in a tan and not white gravy though)
- Add butter to the pan over medium heat.
- Once the butter has melted, add flour to the pan.
- Cooked while stirring constantly until golden brown,(about 2-3 minutes). This will remove the raw flour taste.
- Gently whisk in the broth and milk a little at a time.
- Cook while stirring constantly to remove any lumps and until the mixture begins to thicken to your liking. (Cook longer if you want thicker gravy or add more milk if you want thinner gravy)
- Season gravy with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and a bit of thyme until your desired flavor is reached (Be sure to taste after each seasoning to prevent overseasoning the gravy. Let your tastebuds be your guide. The end result should taste good enough to eat plain!)

Steps:
- Put the steaks on a board and bash with a rolling pin until about half the original thickness. Mix the eggs with the cayenne in a bowl. Combine the ingredients for the spice mix with a large pinch of salt in a separate shallow dish.
- Dip the steaks into the egg, then the spice mix, turning to coat. Pour the oil into a large non-stick frying pan until the base of the pan is covered. Fry the steaks over a high heat for 2 mins until crisp, then turn and fry for 2 mins more. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
- If you're making the sauce, pour away all but 1 tbsp oil from the pan and stir in the flour, cooking until browned. Crumble in the stock cube. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking until smooth and fully incorporated. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 4-5 mins. Season. Add the thyme and plenty of black pepper, then squeeze in the lemon juice to taste. Serve the steaks with the sauce, and greens and corn, if you like.

THE BEST CHICKEN FRIED STEAK
I received this recipe from a co-worker about 5 years ago. This is by far the best chicken fried steak I've ever had. I've made this numerous times for my picky eater son and my southern-raised better half, as well as other family and friends. I get nothing but rave reviews each time.

Steps:
- Pound the steaks to about 1/4-inch thickness. Place 2 cups of flour in a shallow bowl. Stir together the baking powder, baking soda, pepper, and salt in a separate shallow bowl; stir in the buttermilk, egg, Tabasco Sauce, and garlic. Dredge each steak first in the flour, then in the batter, and again in the flour. Pat the flour onto the surface of each steak so they are completely coated with dry flour.
- Heat the shortening in a deep cast-iron skillet to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Fry the steaks until evenly golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Place fried steaks on a plate with paper towels to drain. Drain the fat from the skillet, reserving 1/4 cup of the liquid and as much of the solid remnants as possible.
- Return the skillet to medium-low heat with the reserved oil. Whisk the remaining flour into the oil. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a spatula to release solids into the gravy. Stir in the milk, raise the heat to medium, and bring the gravy to a simmer, cook until thick, 6 to 7 minutes. Season with kosher salt and pepper. Spoon the gravy over the steaks to serve.

REAL SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN
As a Yankee originally from Vermont, I didn't know one fried chicken from another. They all seemed pretty much the same to me. Tasting the Southern version opened my eyes! A side of hot biscuits served with butter and honey is practically mandatory. -Lily Julow, Lawrenceville, Georgia
