country-fried
Dredged and pan-cooked
Country-fried describes food—usually steak or chicken—that's been breaded and pan-fried in the style of Southern American home cooking.
A country-fried steak is a tenderized cut dredged in seasoned flour and fried until crispy, typically served with cream gravy.
The term evokes rustic, hearty fare: We stopped at a diner for country-fried chicken and mashed potatoes.
