Down-home Fried Chicken
1 tbsp. salt
Tap water
6 chicken legs, or thighs or 4 breasts, skinless and boneless
1 cup flour
1tsp. thyme
½ tsp. marjoram
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 large egg
1½ tbsp. milk
½ cup solid shortening or lard, plus more as needed
Dissolve salt in a small amount of water. Add chicken pieces then cover
with more water. Set this in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours.
Remove chicken from fridge 2 hours before you plan to cook. Drain and
pat dry.
Combine flour and seasonings in a paper or plastic bag. Shake gently to
combine ingredients. Mix egg and milk in a bowl. Set a clean plate or platter
on the counter to hold the breaded chicken.
Place one chicken piece at a time in the bag, shake gently to
thoroughly coat, then dip in egg mixture, then return the piece to the bag and
gently shake again. Set chicken on the plate. Repeat the process until all
pieces are coated. Set the uncovered plate in the fridge for at least 30
minutes.
Heat the shortening in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Test
to be sure shortening is hot enough by adding a small piece of bread. It should
sizzle and toast quickly.
Carefully add the chicken pieces. Maintain the temperature, but adjust
it so chicken doesn’t burn and grease doesn’t splatter everywhere.
Turning frequently, brown the chicken on all sides. Cover and cook
20-25 minutes or until juices run clear when pierced with a sharp knife.
Lay pieces on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any oil.
Transfer them to a clean platter and serve.
Here's a brief intro to Book Three of the Naughty Ladies of Nice series
with Don and Claudette.
Spies and lies bring a deadly twist to the City of
Lights.
Interpol agent Claudette D’Laquois is trapped in the hellhole of life
and unable to trust anyone. Desperate to regain control, she flees to the
safety of her uncle’s rundown chateau on the French Riviera. But Claudette soon
learns the countryside has its own dangers when she finds herself alone with a
sexy foreigner.
Uptight accountant Donald Hobbs ditches numbers for dirt to oversee his
friend’s orchard for three weeks. His well deserved vacation is perfect until a
seductive mademoiselle drags him into a dangerous world of intrigue and erotic
fantasy.
Illegal drugs and Russian mobsters take a back seat to a lethal night
of sinful pleasure for Claudette and Don.
EXCERPT
Nothing like an afternoon of hot sex to keep this guy
happy.
Don followed Claudette down the hallway. He scanned her shoulders and
down to her narrow waist and clenched his fists until the knuckles almost
popped. His gaze dropped to her shapely hips that flared over her long legs.
Legs that went on forever. He worked his way back up to her firm ass,
mesmerized by the little swing it did as she nonchalantly strolled ahead of
him. The rose dangled over her shoulder, luring him like a horse to the carrot,
and he was eager to chase after it.
Walking right then wasn’t the easiest thing, but he managed. Her
tapered legs in those sexy heels strapped around her slender ankles were the
added bonus to keep him moving.
She stopped at her open bedroom door and glanced over her shoulder. Her
long auburn hair shimmered with the movement.
Jesus, she was beautiful.
“Mon cher, do not be shy.” Her voice dropped a
couple of octaves. “I am not.”
Obviously, and he loved it.
He followed her to the bed while fumbling with the buttons on his
shirt. She bent and laid the rose on the nightstand, exposing her wet pussy.
His cock jackknifed. He swallowed hard and prayed he didn’t come before he
finally got to touch her.
“You look as if you need help.” Her soft voice came out low, like a
woman who’d been making love for hours.
She turned and reached for his belt. Her large breasts jiggled with the
movement and erased his control.
He stretched out a hand for her, but she eluded him and dropped to her
knees before he could touch her rosy nipples. An herbal aroma drifted up to him
as her hair flowed across her breasts. He scooped it out of the way. The need
to watch her every movement overwhelmed him.
His zipper rasped open. Don forced himself to breathe. His swollen cock
leapt out of his shorts, grazing her moist mouth.
“I like a man who is eager.”
Her warm breath tingled against his swollen head.
He closed his eyes and sent up a silent prayer she followed through on
what he hoped she had in mind.
He held out his hand, wrapped it around hers, and pulled her into his
arms. She was warm and yielding and sexy as hell. He cupped her chin and raised
it toward his mouth...
