My Grandmother’s Fried Chicken

This technique of steaming and then frying the chicken is a traditional method in the South. We’re using vegetable oil for frying here, but Grandmother would have used her own rendered lard, which makes for an absolutely delicious bird! It would be wonderful on a picnic with Lemony Potato Salad with Olives, Corn, and Cashews and a great summer dessert, like Cherry and Almond Cobbler.
