Southern Fried Chicken with creamy gravy

Made this on the night of 2/18/06 and it was pretty good. The chicken was very juicy which I'm not used to because I'm always grilling skinless chicken breast. Unfortunately, I think I should eat an all celery diet this week just to compensate. I might try an oven fried version next time to see how it compares.

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons garlic salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 (4 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
3 cups vegetable oil
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup milk


DIRECTIONS:
1. In a medium bowl, mix together flour and spices. Dip chicken in flour mixture and reserve any remaining.

2. In a large skillet, heat oil to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). Place coated chicken in the hot oil, and brown on all sides. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking chicken until tender, about 30 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet, and drain on paper towels.

3. Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the frying oil. Over low heat, stir in 2 tablespoons of the reserved flour mixture. Stirring constantly, cook about 2 minutes. Whisk in chicken stock, scraping browned bits off bottom of skillet. Stir in 1 cup milk, and bring all to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 5 minutes. Serve immediately with the chicken.
