Fried Spring Chicken the Perfect BBQ Menu Addition

One of the many benefits of outdoor cooking is that it allows you to take advantage of seasonal produce and ingredients. For example, in the springtime you can easily find fresh young chickens at your local farmers market. And what's more perfect for a spring barbecue than fried chicken?

When frying chicken, make sure to use a neutral oil like canola or grapeseed oil. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook for about 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce on the side.

For a complete spring BBQ menu, try pairing your fried chicken with some grilled asparagus wrapped in prosciutto, and serve it all up with a refreshing arugula salad on the side. Your guests will be loving this!
