Heat the lard in a large iron skillet to 375\u00b0 or until it just starts to smoke lightly.
Just before frying, dredge pieces lightly in flour and fry 2 to 3 pieces at a time.
Breasts take 12 to 15 minutes, drumsticks and backs 9 to 10 minutes.
Pieces can be kept warm in a 200\u00b0 oven while frying others.
