Fried chicken with mushrooms and onions

Whole chicken is most often baked in the oven. But there's a trick that allows you to cook chicken perfectly in a frying pan without overcooking or drying it out. If you cut and flatten the chicken, it will cook perfectly through. Buttering it prevents burning, and instead browns evenly, beautifully, and deliciously. It's even more delicious if you sauté the fried chicken with mushrooms.

Cooking tips

It's best to buy young, not very large chicken, and chilled rather than frozen. It shouldn't have an unpleasant odor, the skin should be light pink, and the meat should be firm.

It is better to choose small mushrooms, so they will fry faster and more evenly.
