Notes

• You can use a regular deep fryer to make this instead of in a skillet.
• If you don't want to use frying oil to make gravy, substitute butter or bacon grease.
• 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.
• Add more or less seasoning to the flour and gravy to your liking.
