This is the way my entire family likes their chicken cooked.

My kids call it 'sloppy chicken.' I think the recipe has been passed down through several generations.

Start with one nice-sized frying chicken, cut into serving size pieces.

Shake the chicken pieces in a large paper bag to which you have added a cup of flour, a teaspoon of salt, some pepper, a teaspoon of paprika, and a shake or two of garlic powder.

Melt shortening in a frying pan. Lard or butter is best, but it's probably a better idea to use Crisco or oil.

Brown the chicken pieces on all sides and place in a small roaster or baking pan with a tight lid.

A cast iron dutch oven is preferable as the chicken always seems to taste better if one is used.

Slice one onion over the chicken and pour one cup of buttermilk over the top.

You can use cream or milk but it isn't as flavorful.

Place the lid on the pan and bake in the oven at 350 for at least an hour, or more if the chicken is large.
