Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Vegetable Shortening
- 4 tbsp Butter or Margarine
- 1 cup Flour
- 2 tbsp Flour
- 2 tsp Paprika
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- Freshly Ground Pepper
- 1 ea Chicken 3 pounds, cut up
- 1 can Refrigerator Biscuits 6 ounces
- 1 can Cling Peach Halves 30 ounces, drained

- 1 1/2 cups Hot Milk
Instructions
- 1) Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place shortening and butter in 1 13x9x2 inch baking dish and set in oven until melted. In a plastic or paper bag, combine 1 cup flour, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add chicken, a few pieces at a time, and shake to coat thoroughly. Place chicken skin side down in hot shortening. Bake 45 minutes, then turn.
- 2) Push chicken to one end of pan. At the other end, arrange uncooked biscuits in a single layer, without draining off shortening. Stick each peach half with a clove and place on top of chicken. Bake 15 minutes.
- 3) To make gravy, remove chicken, biscuits, and peaches to a serving platter. Pour pan drippings into a medium-size saucepan and place over medium heat. Whisk in 2 tablespoons flour and cook for 1 minute without browning. Whisk in milk, bring to a boil, and cook, stirring, until thick and smooth. Serve with chicken and biscuits.
