Prepare the Gravy
  1. In a non stick pan melt the butter then add the flour.
  2. Cook our for 1-2 minutes until the flour smells nutty.
  3. Then begin adding the warmed milk while stirring well. Add approx 2-3 tbsp at a time, combine the flour, then add more.
  4. Continue doing this until you have a thick gravy consistency (adding the milk a little a time will ensure you get no lumps - do not add more milk until you have completely combined the mixture).
  5. Season with salt, white pepper and nutmeg.
  6. Taste and set aside. Prepare the southern style gravy
Fry the Chicken
  1. Heat the oil to a medium heat in a deep frying pan, wok or fryer.
  2. While it heats up prepare the chicken for frying. Dip firstly into the Egg then into the flour. Tip do not shake off all the egg and make sure you get plenty of flour onto the chicken. The excess flour will fry to become golden and crispy so the more the better.
  3. Fry the chicken for about 10-15 minutes. Make sure the oil is not too hot as it will brown the outside leaving the inside raw. Do not cook too many pieces at the same time as it will drop the temperature of the oil.
  4. Once cooked drain and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
  5. Fry the chicken
  6. Serve topped with the gravy and mashed potatoes.
