Notes

  1. You can use a regular deep fryer to make this instead of in a skillet.
  2. If you don't want to use frying oil to make gravy, substitute butter or bacon grease.
  3. We use the thin cut chicken you can buy at the store, but you can use a regular chicken breast and slice it in half.
  4. Add more or less seasoning to the flour and gravy to your liking.
