Fried chicken - Page 5

BTW, I think the absolute best fast food fried chicken is made by Churches Fried Chicken--always GBD (golden brown and delicious). They're sides are great too--real mashed potatoes, fluffy biscuits, corn on the cob, two kinds of gravy and fried okra too. The chicken is always so moist and tender, and the pieces are a nice size, not like those over priced pigeon size parts Popeye's sells here. Even my cast iron skillet chicken frying mama loved Churches. Can't even find a knockoff recipe on the internet.

Sad to say there aren't any more near where I live.

You have to soak the chicken in buttermilk,for at leat 6 hours, and yes only fry in a cast iron skillet.

When you lose some one you L~O~V~E, that Memory of them, becomes a TREASURE.

Is there really any difference between "fried chicken" and "southern fried chicken"? If so, what ?

Southern Fried Chicken....according to my late granny who made the best, must be
Cooked in a cast iron frying pan with Crisco on medium high heat...and it gets the perfect "scald" on it, which is the best southern fried taste....yum!

@shell garden thank you so much for this post as I was trying to remember how my mom made her fried chicken and Crisco was the ingredient I was missing. She would pan fry the pieces and finish baking them in the oven . . . delicious (and thanks again for reminding me)!

@ChazzyLady I so agree with how good Churches Fried Chicken is (and unfortunately they are no longer anywhere near where I live).

I didn't grow up with very much fast food so it was always a treat when we had it and I can still remember how delicious their chicken and sides were.

@momtochloe....you are so welcome. I sincerely think you need to think about going to the grocery store....buying some chicken and crisco and pull out your cast iron frying pan and fry you up some of mom's fried chicken. If not now, then certainly in the fall or winter time and you will certainly smile thinking of your mom, not to mention a hug of good ole comfort food. I hope you do!

My father loved fried chicken and luckily my mother made the best, so he asked if it could be their Sunday dinner. They often invited guests and many of them started dropping by uninvited every Sunday at dinner time.

Pretty soon my mother was feeding a crowd every Sunday until she finally said enough!

She was a really good cook. She could make anything including ethnic food and delicate baking, but she almost never made fried chicken after that

Hi @Noel7!

Ohh, your Mom's fried chicken sounds sooo delicious!

My Mom used to make really good fried chicken too, and she would make it with warm German potato salad on the side.

She would especially make this for when we would go on a family picnic with my maternal Gramma and her sister, too.

Lots of good happy family memories there.

I don't ever eat or make fried chicken.

I do occasionally (rare) make an oven fried chicken.

I dip the chicken in egg and use Corn Flake crumbs to coat the chicken. I bake it in the oven until golden brown. I've used it with boneless chicken breasts and chicken on the bone.

Cooking time depends on what kind of chicken you use and how big they are.

Very tasty!

Hi @bri20,

I think that I must have a similar recipe for making that oven fried chicken with Corn Flake crumbs. It's really good that way. It turns out really moist. So yummy!

I used to make fried chicken on the stove top, and then I started to do it in the oven with the Corn Flake crumbs, and that became my preferred way of making it.
