Fried chicken

[rcnixon]

Which brings to mind the wonderful "chicken fried bacon-burger"!

Take a 1lb slab of bacon , run it thru a meat grinder , form it into a patty , batter it and deep fry it till done. Put it on a good toasted hard roll , with some gravy on top and enjoy!

Now, I know that I am a damn yankee but I do love the South and especially the food but...you can't get a good kaiser roll (hard roll, aka water roll) here in Dixie. Real bakeries are few and far between as well. Forget entirely about bagels and bialies.

Biscuits are in another class entirely. I had me some biscuits and sausage gravy Sunday at the NC State Farmer's Market restaurant. Mmm, good.

Mom never made fried chicked but I do miss her Sunday pot roast dinners.

The American Association of Cardiologists highly reccomends mkk41's recipe. Mama needs a new Porsche. Don't forget the cheese and salt.

Yep! Found that out when the Navy sent me to Memphis. Went into one place that advertised 'genuine Philly-style hoagies and cheesesteaks'.

NOT!

The so-called 'hoagie' was some sort of chopped luncheon meat , orange cheese , lettuce , tomatos , onions and mayonnaise , on an oversize soft hotdog bun.

The equally poor excuse for a cheesesteak was pitiful , simply pitiful!

There are many great chefs in this world, but if you can't cook good fried chicken, you ain't squat.
Q: What do you call a woman who cooks the best fried chicken in the world?
A: My Wife

FIFY

My late grandmother fixed fried chicken that was so pretty, you didn't know whether to take a picture, or eat it. No pictures.

My mother, and my wife both learned from my grandmother. They make outstanding fried chicken. Haven't had any, anywhere or any better.

Remember, the Colonel's chicken isn't fried, technically. It's done in pressure cookers.

No, actually they are pressure fryers, big difference. Especially don't try to use a pressure cooker to pressure fry.

My southern buddy told of the time they had their preacher over for dinner. His ma had chicken. There was one piece left on the platter. A thunderstorm knocked the power out. A scream was heard and the lights come back on. There were 6 forks sticking in the preachers hand!

I never met a dead chicken I didn't like. Anyway you cook it.

If you feel you need a little fiber in your diet, you can make your gravy with whole wheat flour. I have actually stobbed a good friend with a fork for reaching for a drumstick on my plate. He had been warned, so he had it coming!

A buddy was renting his trailer out in Orlando.
Folks moved out without notice apparently about a month before.
It was summer. It gets HOT in Orlando in the summer.

The electricity had been off for who knows how long and there were 3 chickens in the refrigerator's freezer...

I can't go on

I've not been a chicken fan since

The chart posted showing things that taste like chicken reminded me of a story a friend once told me about something that happened while he was serving in Vietnam as a member of the 5th Special Forces.

He and another 5th SF Trooper were sitting around a fire each cooking a rat on a stick when a patrol came along that had a 2nd LT in charge. This "butterbar" came over by the fire and squatted down between the two cooks and asked "What ya cookin?" They answered "Rat."

He hesitated for a minute and then asked "How do you cook rat?". My friend said that the way he asked the question was as if he wanted to swap recipes. The two cooks responded "On a stick, over a fire."

The butterbar then asked "What does it taste like?"

They answered "Rat."

Experence from my child hood:
A Southern Primitive Baptist Preacher can eat 1 1/2 fried chickens at dinner plus a dozen buttermilk bisquits, six ears of corn, a full plate of mashed potatoes, cup of gravy, pot of coffee, and 3/4 of an apple pie.
Before dinner and after dinner he would ask Dad for a "Snort" of bourban.
If "Preacher" was extra hungry, the dinner blessing would be short.
Later on the front porch preacher would have coffee with a bowl of blueberry cobber with ice cream.
This guy was skinny as a rail!
His weekly house visits with various church members was always at meal time.

World's largest chicken frying skillet:

This is at the World Chicken Festival, London, KY, usually in Sept. (Sept. 27-30, in 2012).

This has been on my bucket list for decades. Finally went this last year and was heavily disappointed:

- They appear to only cook chicken breasts, my wife and I are dark meat eaters.
- They put the fried chicken in coolers for 15 minutes or so, this leaves the crust limp and way too moist, not crunchy at all.
- It was $9 for the plate (one piece of chicken, some beans and one roll), the drink was a $1 more.

For as far as we drove, we could have ordered dang near a tractor load of fried chicken. Oh well, one thing I can take off my bucket list....

My grandma may she rest in peace made the best home made fried chicken i have ever had.
