Deep South Deacon-Fried Chicken

ATLANTA, GEORGIA

Deacon Burton was a minimalist. I don’t suppose he would have approved of my use of thyme. His spice cabinet was bare except for a tin of black pepper, a box of salt. But I am a mere mortal, not able to coax from chicken the stupendous flavor for which the Deacon was known. Herewith, my tribute to the Deacon, my heretical stab at transcendence.

■ 1 chicken weighing 3 to 4 pounds (the

smaller, the better), cut into 8-10 pieces

■ 8 teaspoons salt

■ 1 quart cold water

■ 4 teaspoons black pepper

■ 4 teaspoons thyme

■ 1 cup self-rising flour

■ Lard, or shortening into which you mix

about 3 tablespoons bacon grease
