Fried chicken

[fat tom]

Our teacher asked what my favorite animal was, and I said, "Fried chicken."
She said I wasn't funny, but she couldn't have been right, because everyone else laughed. My parents told me to always tell the truth. I did. Fried chicken is my favorite animal. I told my dad what happened, and he said my teacher was probably a member of PETA.
He said they love animals very much. I do, too. Especially chicken, pork and beef. Anyway, my teacher sent me to the principal's office.
I told him what happened, and he laughed, too. Then he told me not to do it again.

The next day in class my teacher asked me what my favorite live animal was.
I told her it was chicken. She asked me why, so I told her it was because you could make them into fried chicken.

She sent me back to the principal's office. He laughed, and told me not to do it again.

I don't understand. My parents taught me to be honest, but my teacher doesn't like it when I am.

Today, my teacher asked us to tell her what famous person we admire most. I told her, "Colonel Sanders."
Guess where I am now...

Send your teacher to Buckners Restaurant at exit 201 on I-75 in Georgia. She will be converted. Best fried chicken I have had in many moons.

Buckners? Glad to hear they are still open! But... for the very best fried chicken in this part of the galaxy, forget Buckners, etc. Just sit down to a table on which my wife has just place a platter of her fried chicken. Excellent! Your eyes will not be watering... you'll be crying for joy! Be sure to have 911 on your speed dial. You'll need it. At some point, you or someone who loves you will need to call for emergency assistance. Her fried chicken is so good your tongue will slap the roof of your mouth so hard that you'll get a concussion.

My mom makes a variation of fried chicken. She cooks it like normal but uses mochie powder (Japanese) for batter. Then it goes directly into a mild garlic/soy sauce. She sold them one day when she had a takeout stand; couldn't cook them fast enough.

I may try to make a similar dish using pheasant breast. But using garlic, soy sauce and chili powder for a little spice.

How man suffered until the advent of the frying pan.

 

[wbraswell]

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: Momma.

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.

FRIED CHICKEN...if you're a Baptist you can't enter Heaven without it!

Ah, as the Good Book sez,
"Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble."


Fried chicken, sawmill gravy and hot biscuits, don't get no better.

[bshepherd]

I sure miss my Mom's Fried Chicken.

 

[wbraswell]

Sorry Dave, but you really need some kind of 'tater to go along with that. Just be sure to make extra gravy for it.

Here ..here. Mashed taters smothered in fried chicken gravy on the side. When I was overseas, I missed the mashed taters-n-fried chicken gravy more than the chicken itself. Good fried chicken gravy is an art. I sure miss mommas...

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!

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!

According to the late Jerry Clower,that was "Uncle Versie".

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

 

[wbraswell]

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!

 

[DeadAye]

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

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
