    a little cornmeal added tastes better.

    i only eat white meat. guess im a racist at heart or it simply means im a breast man. i cant decide. wings dont really count.

    that doesnt count.

    just be sure not to use the words cottage cheese when mentioning it. i noticed that leads to clamming up.

    i tried to fry chicken a month or so ago. i only eat white meat so i just bought some breasts. i the only thing i have ever fried are fish and small things like that and that is obviously pretty harmless. so i followed my grandmothers recipe but the ratio of chicken and oil was skewed because i only had breasts. halfway through i had a minor fire and went to kfc.

    i wish someone would cook it for me because homemade fried chicken is the best, but it is too messy.

    Probably, . . . the breading is great but they use a deep fryer. My Grandma always fried chicken in a deep black iron skillet in lard or shortening. Looked different, tasted better. Damn strong!

    im not a grandma (or even a mom for that matter) but i use a black iron skillet for frying chicken. thats how my grandmother taught me to make it.

    i am lucky in that my grandmother taught me a lot about cooking from the time i was old enough to sit on the counter and watch.

    I use half Fish-Fri (or Chick-fri) and half flour. Dip it in an egg bath (more water than egg) and coat it with the dry stuff. Hint: add ice to the egg bath and the chicken will be more crispy. You have to fry in a skillet, not deep fry. If you don't turn it with tongs, it ain't homemade fried chicken.

    add a little cornstarch to the flour, or cornmeal, and it's be crispier.
