Genuine Kentucky fried chicken must be sampled to be fully appreciated. Cut up your chicken and soak it for about an hour in salted water. Season some flour with sage or prepared poultry dressing, pepper and salt and roll the pieces of chicken in it. Put into a frying-pan just enough lard to a little more than cover the bottom of the pan. This will insure that delicate brown which always distinguishes genuine Kentucky fried chicken. Put the pan in the oven, instead of on the top of the stove, as the chicken will cook more evenly and thoroughly and will not burn before done, as otherwise it is apt to do. Lard is preferable to either butter or pork because it does not burn so quickly. If the oven is not too hot, and the frying has not been too rapid, by the time the chicken is nicely browned you can depend upon its being thoroughly cooked. - Miss Helen M. Richardson, Massachusetts.
