2 1/2 pounds chicken fryer — cut up

salt and pepper 2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon oil

2 thick scallions

1/2 cup chicken broth

Clean chicken. In 12″ skillet, over medium heat, melt butter. When bubbly, add chicken pieces, skin side down. Saute 20 minutes till deep golden-brown color. Shake pan now and then so chicken doesn’t stick to the bottom.
