(If you have thing chicken like I did, 2-3 minutes per side.) Flip if necessary to cook evenly on both sides. Once cooked, remove from heat and set aside. Repeat until all chicken is cooked.
Gravy
Heat bacon grease or lard in large frying pan or cast iron. Add all purpose flour. (About half the amount of grease used) Continuously stir together until all clumps are gone. Add more flour as needed. Let cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir in milk. Stir, stir, stir. If too thick, add some water. If too thin, add some flour. Stir and cook until nice and smooth and consistency is to your liking. Season with salt and pepper.
