Best Fried Chicken Italian Style Millies Recipes

PAN FRIED ITALIAN CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Pour the oil into a large stainless or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. (A non-stick skillet will work as well, although it isn't required.) Generously sprinkle the skin side of the chicken thighs with spices and then place them in the hot skillet, skin side down. Sprinkle the other side of the thighs and then, without moving them, cook uncovered for about 20-25 minutes. Let them cook until the fat has rendered and the skin is deep golden brown and crisp; this could take as long as 30 minutes.
• If the skin is sticking to the pan, it likely isn't finished on that side. Reduce the heat as needed if the skin starts to burn before it is evenly golden brown. Turn the thighs over and continue to cook for about 20 more minutes. When the meat closest to the bone is cooked through, the chicken is done. Enjoy!

ITALIAN PAN-FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Sprinkle chicken with pepper. Combine rosemary, oregano and basil; sprinkle half the herb mixture over chicken. In a large skillet over medium heat add chicken, skin side down. Brown chicken on both sides. Add 8 garlic cloves; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in vinegars and chicken base. Cook, covered, on low heat until a thermometer reads 170°-175°, 15-20 minutes., Remove chicken to a serving platter; keep warm. Add chardonnay to pan; increase heat to medium-high. Bring to a boil; cook, uncovered, until liquid is reduced by half, 8-10 minutes, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Strain sauce. Return to pan and add remaining garlic clove and herb mixture; heat through. Stir in cream; remove from heat. Whisk in butter until creamy. If needed, return pan briefly to very low heat to soften the butter. (Do not allow butter to melt completely or sauce may separate.) Serve with chicken. If desired, garnish with additional basil and rosemary.
