Am making Southern Fried Chicken!

[Whoa_Nelly]

Mmmmm Mmmmm Good!

Haven't made it in years, but it's one of those things you never forget how to do.

It's double batter dipped. Yum! :9


O! And am enjoying a crisp Barefoot Chardonnay! Double Yum! ;)

1. Please share your batter recipe?

For comparison purposes. No wagering, people.

3. ever so simple

Two bowls:

whole egg whipped with milk

flour seasoned with pepper, garlic, parsely, chives

Dip and roll chicken on egg batter, then roll and pile on the flour mix

Repeat and drop right into the hot oil skillet.

Cover for first 15 minutes, turn chicken, cover again for 10 minutes
Then, toasty up the sides (turn chicken on side to cook) with lid cocked part way off, about 10+ minutes eash toast-ing up side!


Was taught to do it this way by a wonderful old lady back when I was just knee high to a grass hopper and growing up in Oklahoma ;)

4. I made some 'de-boned' chicken the other night

(and I LOVE southern fried chicken, tonight though BBQ'ing it on the grill which is heating up right now).

Basically, boneless chicken breasts, boil, then dip in egg (or milk, or both), dip into flour with a lot of seasonings, then into a skillet with hot butter. While that is cooking the pan I boiled the chicken in (using the same water) cook some noodles, put those over mashed potatoes, and I am in heaven :)

For Southern fried I like to soak the chicken in buttermilk first, then into the egg/flour (which I season with Mrs. Dash, a touch of sage for mom's sake, onion and garlic powder, and salt/pepper) - then into the hot grease (and best in an Iron skillet IMHO).

Damn, I am hungry now :)

9. So you're saying you used butter or lard to deep fry the chicken in?

:D

[Whoa_Nelly]

11. In the old days used lard

Used vegetable oil tonight...haven't used lard in about 30 years...

but, I did find you this nifty pic!

12. it's way better if you use a cornflake batter
