Fried Chicken:
1 (3 to 3 1/2 pound) chicken, cut up
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt fresh ground black pepper
2 cups peanut oil

Spiced Gravy:
2 tablespoons butter plus drippings from chicken
1/4 cup minced onion
2 tablespoons seasoned flour
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup spiced peaches, chopped
1/4 to 1/2 cup syrup from spiced peaches
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Chicken: Marinate chicken in buttermilk for at least two hours. Heat oil in cast-iron skillet. As oil is preheating, combine dry ingredients in paper bag, drop the chicken pieces in the bag, tossing to coat evenly. Add dark pieces to oil first, followed by white pieces. Reduce heat to medium, cover and fry 15 minutes. Remove cover, turn each piece and fry another 10 to 15 minutes uncovered. Remove chicken to paper towels to drain.

Spiced Gravy: Re-use skillet from frying chicken. Saut the onion in the butter until golden. Whisk in flour and cook until browned. Whisk in chicken stock, bring to boil, turn down heat and add chopped peaches and syrup. Simmer for 4 or 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve over chicken.

Serves 5 to 6.
