July 6 Today is NATIONAL FRIED CHICKEN DAY What is your favorite piece?

Fried Chicken is my first of 2 favorite foods, the other one is NC Eastern Style Pork BBQ.

I just love wings. {#emotions_dlg.thumbup} {#emotions_dlg.thumbup}

I have many cookbooks on Fried Chicken:

John T. Edge, Fried Chicken

Damon Lee Fowler, The World's Best Recipes Fried Chicken

Leonard Thomas, Cooking with the Chicken Man

Joie Warner, The New Complete Book of Chicken Wings

I have this one on wait list on Amazon. Fried & True: More than 50 Recipes for America's Best Fried Chicken and Sides.

I love watching Triple D, when Guy goes to a restaurant and they are frying chicken.

Here is a recipe I found on the net: Soak the chicken pieces, overnight in a brine, then soak it in buttermilk, with a little hot sauce for 5 hours. Then dredge it in seasoned flour and fry it in oil/bacon grease.

I made it w/o the bacon grease. Make sure you get off as much of the buttermilk as you can before dredging it in flour. The chicken tends to get too dark when fried if you don't.

I heard Gordonsville, VA is the Fried Chicken Capital of the World.

Go out and have some Fried Chicken today!!!!! Smiley Happy Smiley Happy Smiley Happy

White meat is 1st choice but do like chicken drummies and boneless thigh meat for soup recipes.

Breasts and Wings for me, thanks. I never fry chicken at home. There's a restaurant in Shipshewana, Indiana called The Blue Gate that serves an Amish family style meal. The fried chicken there is the best I've ever eaten. I don't know how they do it, but it's pretty incredible fried chicken.
