  2. My grandmotber’s Hungarian fried chicken was simple. You dredge the chicken pieces in flour, then dip them in beaten eggs and pulverized Kellogg’s corn flakes to which you’ve added about 1/2 T. paprika per serving. Then you fry in melted lard.

    This blows KFC, Popeye’s, and anyone else’s grandmother’s fried chicken right outta the water. And Muzzies can’t it because of the lard.

  5. Here we go….FAMILY RECIPES!!!!….bring em’ I want to know them…
    The best fried chicken that I ever had was at a neighbors house….Rob and Grace Brannon (may they rest in peace)….they were originally from east Texas and I was too young to pester her about the recipe, but the trick was in the cast iron covered pot that her grandmother brought to the Oklahoma Territories in a prairie schooler during the big land grab….I missed the garage sale after her passing. I look back at them as two of the finest people that I ever knew….NOW, Lets talk fried chicken!…

  9. “Don’t crowd the pieces” is excellent advice. The main reason fried chicken at home doesn’t turn out as well as at the better restaurants is the difficulty keeping the fat at the right temperature in small home-type friers and skillets. You can get close at home if you add one piece of chicken every two or three minutes and stand there watching it all the time. That’s not very easy or convenient, alas.

    KFC used to be pretty good but I found that their quality took a dive maybe five to seven years ago. Too bad.

  12. Two of my best friends in HS worked next door to my Dad’s gas station at the KFC. On nights when I was closing the gas station and they were closing the KFC we ate a lot of the leftover fried chicken. It was good when I was 17 & 18, I don’t think it would be so good now. I very rarely eat fried chicken anymore, I much rather prefer chicken or pork in a good stir fry.

  13. I made this 2 nights ago. Hints – tablespoons instead of teaspoons, soak the chicken in buttermilk 1/2 an hour, add the MSG. The first recipe is good although not strong enough spice mix. Used skinless, boneless chicken white meat ( I am raaaaaycisssss)

  15. We have a chicken joint around here called Church’s. They cut up chicken in pieces I cannot identify. How the he’ll do you make a chicken leg look like a hammock. Oh and DON’T CROWD THE THE CHICKEN. 😉

  19. “Brad….your a fisherman….I’d rather reach into the cooler and grab me some cold fried chicken then some damn sammitch any day…”

    No time to eat while your fishing. And Ice Chest are to heavy. Might lose a MPH or two.

    Why not just go to KFC and save yourself the hassle.
    ———————————–

    The KFC here is gone, closed up 5 years ago. Popeyes took its place. Not bad either – well they screwed my order up once and I haven’t been back.

  25. I worked at KFC in college for a few years. We used to take whole onions before slicing for the coleslaw and slice them into rings. Dredge them in the crispy recipe and toss in the fryer. They were the best onion rings anywhere. And KFC never had onion rings on the menu. We also took the bacon for the chicken sandwiches and ate it right out of the fryer, damn good bacon. That was already more than 20 years ago, geez.

  29. Eternal Cracker:

    Naw, the secret ingredient in fried onion ring batter is BEER.

    My father was friends with the owner of Don’s Drive-in, the most yooogely successful restaurant in the history of Livingston, New Jersey. Every baby boomer who grew up in Essex County went there. I bet Chris Christie and Jason Alexander went there.

    Don’s was famous for its onion rings. They were the most popular menu item; Don had to hire two full-timers who did nothing but make up onion rings to keep up with the demand. One night Don admitted to my dad what the secret ingredient was.

    I can no longer eat deep-fried foods (middle-aged crummy tummy syndrome), but I do soak hot dogs in beer overnight before I grill them. Serve on potato rolls, mmm mmm good!

  30. I lived in Alaska for a three years working as a lineman. We ate salmon everyday.
    At first it was great, now I can’t stand salmon. Then our group moved to an island in the Pacific.
    Chicken every day, well that’s better than salmon.
    I wanted to live in an area that had Angus cattle. I agree with Brad.
    If it’s not premium cuts of beef or lamb I don’t want it.
    My wife buys Kobe And Wagyu beef it’s not cheap but it is really good.
    Of course you will get tired of it if you eat it all the time.

  31. Shoot fire, the Anon was me.

    2nd batch better than KFC. 1st batch used a shallow pan to fry. 2nd batch the H used his big Cajun cast iron pot he uses for gumbo and stews. Fried them not quite done and then baked them done in the oven about 15-20 minutes.
    Delicious and no grease.
