Directions:
Directions:
Wash chicken and soak in buttermilk for 30 minutes. Drain, but do not dry. Sprinkle salt liberally on both sides. Place flour, salt and pepper in a medium brown paper bag. Add chicken; close bag and shake so all pieces are coated evenly and well. Remove chicken and shake to remove excess flour. Put on rack and dry for 20 minutes. Heat oil in large skillet. Hold on high heat for a few minutes until fat is crackling hot or test by sprinkling flour over oil; if the flour sizzles, oil is hot enough. Carefully place chicken in skillet fleshy side down. Cook rapidly until pieces have a firm but light brown crust. Turn over. Continue cooking on high heat for one minute. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook for 20 to 30 minutes until done. Remove from skillet. For gravy: Remove all but 4 tablespoons oil from skillet. Heat oil and brown bits. Over medium heat, sprinkle in the flour and whisk until flour is browned, about 1 minute. Slowly stir in milk and cook until gravy thickens, 5 to 10 minutes, Season with salt and pepper.
