1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 (2 1/2 to 3 lb.) broiler-fryer chicken, cut up
Vegetable oil

tablespoons water.) Remove cover during last 5 minutes of cooking to crisp chicken. Remove chicken, drain on paper towels; keep warm.
Prepare creamy gravy, serve with chicken.
CREAMY GRAVY
1/4 cup chicken drippings (fat and juices)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup liquid (meat juices, broth or water)
1 cup milk
Browning sauce (like Kitchen Bouquet, optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Pour drippings from pan into bowl, leaving brown particles in pan. Return 1/4 cup drippings to pan. (Measure accurate as too little fat makes gravy lumpy). Stir in flour. (Measure accurately so gravy is not greasy). Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth and bubbly. Remove from heat; stir in liquid and milk. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. If desired, stir in few drops of browning sauce. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and if desired, paprika.
