Fried Chicken

My irritating SO is 52 today. Yep. We be gettin' old. I asked him what
he wanted for his birthday dinner. So he replies, "fried chicken". I'm
like, huh? I was expecting the usual "grilled steak and salmon" response.
Sheesh... I do NOT feel like making fried chicken today. I wonder if
Hodak's does carry out. Nah... that won't work. He'll notice the kitchen
isn't totally messed up with seasoned flour, oil etc. I haven't made
fried chicken in a long time. Well, here is the method I'll be using. It
was posted by Wayne Boatwright in rfc years ago. I've used the method
before and it works. With the chicken will come fresh mashed and peas
with house made gravy. I'm buying his birthday cake. I hope he chokes
on the chicken (just kidding).

Try this, Michael... Prepare 3 dishes; one with a beaten egg with a
little water or milk added, one with a 3 to 1 mix of flour and
cornstarch, and one with a 3 to 1 mix of flour and cornmeal. Rinse and
dry chicken pieces, dip each piece individually first in egg mixture,
then in flour/cornstarch mixture, then back into egg mixture, and finally
into flour/cornmeal mixture. Place pieces on rack and allow to dry for a
few minutes, then fry as usual. You'll have incredibly crispy chicken
that holds very little oil or grease. After frying, you might want to
place on a rack in a slow oven for 15 minutes or so.

Oh, BTW, both flour mixtures should contain salt and other seasonings you
prefer.

Have you tried the "Chester Fried Chicken" (CFC)? It's usually
available in grocery stores at the fresh deli case. That CFC is sooooo
way much better than KFC too, IMNSHO! Just an idea.

Better than KFC isn't necessarily much of a compliment. It's not

I just don't like KFC. Hodak's is an option. Their chicken is decent and
extremely reasonably priced. I don't get that way too often but make a
point of stopping in when I'm in the area. Their froglegs aren't 1/2 bad
either.

I've managed to tame my wild beast down a bit, too. :~) I always wake him
up with tea or soda and I try to throw some joke in there to make him laugh.
Making him laugh makes me feel good, too. It takes a very special man or
woman to deal with an ornery partner. :~)

I just don't like KFC.
Go for the Popeye's! I've tried fried chicken several times, and mine
can't beat Popeye's. So on those rare occasions that I get fried
chicken, I let someone else deal with the mess.

No I haven't tried it. I can't recall ever seeing it either. But then I'm
usually not looking for it and might have overlooked it. I'll take a look
see.

I *knew* you'd get caught, sweetie. Silly boy. You can't hide bruises that
big! It's okay, I went to the doctor yesterday and learned I have a broken
foot from my panic attack fall in my bathroom a week and a half ago. At
least he got me more Xanax. Wish Steven a happy belated birthday from me.
If his birthday was yesterday, I'll remember it. It was TFM®'s and my
anniversary! (No we didn't celebrate in any way, shape or form, unless you
consider the laundromat, WalMart and the Dr. a celebration.)

flour, oil etc. I haven't made fried chicken in a long time. Well,
here is the method I'll be using. It was posted by Wayne Boatwright
in rfc years ago. I've used the method before and it works. With the
chicken will come fresh mashed and peas with house made gravy. I'm
buying his birthday cake. I hope he chokes on the chicken (just
kidding).
(snipped recipe, which I have in my archives)

I have one of those Lodge cast iron Chicken Fryers (comes with a lid) which
would be perfect for this! I haven't fried chicken for years but I just
might have to do it again. I don't know why I bought the darned thing but
hey, since I have it... ;)

I used to have one of those, though I don't think it was Lodge.
It was my mother's and was seasoned perfectly. I've loaned it to
a close friend on a semi-permanent basis. I've got another,
bigger cast iron pan with a glass lid and I didn't need two -- she
didn't have anything. I've notice her using it from time to time
and I'm glad...

the ability to fry chicken. That whirling sound is the sound of all my

Ginny, I consider myself a GRITS, as you say. I 'can' make biscuits, but
can't remember when I did last. But fried chicken is not one of those
things that I make successfully either. I have two chicken in the freezer
that probably have been there waaayyy too long, that I will try Wayne's
recipe for breading, hoping that will help -- but I'd better get to thinking
about it before the snow flies, because I will not fry chicken in the
kitchen. It will have to be done outside.

i "shake and bake" at 425 degrees in my oven, with olive oil.
turning the chicken just once.

my shake and bake?
whole wheat flour, salt, pepper and paprika, tossed in a plastic bag, along
with clean wet chicken parts.

I do something similar for oven fried chicken. I dredge the chicken in
seasoned flour, then dip the pieces in an egg wash and then toss them in a
back with bread crumbs seasoned with salt and pepper, paprika, a little
garlic powder, chopped parsley and sometimes some oregano. Smear some olive
oil on a pan, add chicken, drizzle with olive oil and bake at 425 for 20
minute, turn and cook another 20-25 minutes.

I sometimes make a variation of that with orange. Dredge in seasoned flour,
then into egg wash made with beaten egg and orange juice concentrate. Add
some grated orange rind to the bread crumbs and use butter melted instead
of olive oil.

Adding the orange juice and zest sounds really good! I bet it'd work
well with lemons too.

"Oven fried chicken" is an oxymoron. You cannot fry chicken in an oven,
period. It is baked chicken, and it can be very good, but it bears
little relation to real fried chicken.

minute, turn and cook another 20-25 minutes.
I sometimes make a variation of that with orange. Dredge in seasoned flour,
then into egg wash made with beaten egg and orange juice concentrate. Add
some grated orange rind to the bread crumbs and use butter melted instead
of olive oil.
"Oven fried chicken" is an oxymoron. You cannot fry chicken in an oven,
period. It is baked chicken, and it can be very good, but it bears
little relation to real fried chicken.
True enough, but it works. The high heat and the drizzled oil or butter
gives results similar to frying. It is very tasty. It is proper the the
single most requested chicken dish in my house.

i "shake and bake" at 425 degrees in my oven, with olive oil.
turning the chicken just once.
my shake and bake?
whole wheat flour, salt, pepper and paprika, tossed in a plastic bag,
along with clean wet chicken parts.
I do something similar for oven fried chicken. I dredge the chicken in
seasoned flour, then dip the pieces in an egg wash and then toss them
in a back with bread crumbs seasoned with salt and pepper, paprika, a
little garlic powder, chopped parsley and sometimes some oregano.
Smear some olive oil on a pan, add chicken, drizzle with olive oil and
bake at 425 for 20 minute, turn and cook another 20-25 minutes.
I sometimes make a variation of that with orange. Dredge in seasoned
flour, then into egg wash made with beaten egg and orange juice
concentrate. Add some grated orange rind to the bread crumbs and use

Rosie and Dave, do your methods allow the chicken to crisp up a lot?
Sounds like it would. I'm curious about the olive oil Rosie posted
about. I'm thinking both of your methods would be good when I next make
chicken strips. I'll be making chicken strips Halloween night. Somehow I
wound up inviting my friends and neighbors across the street to a
Halloween dinner. Of course they'll trick or treat with their kids first
and then come over for chicken strips, grilled brats and kraut and some
Halloweeny type sides which I'll determine later. For the strips I'll
whip up a BBQ sauce and a hot mustard sauce for dipping. I'll do a test
run on the chicken strips using a combo of both your methods and see what
happens.

Yes, it does get quite crispy.

I have done it with chicken fingers too.

It works a little better if you do it a little ahead of time and give the
egg time to set. It helps the crumbs to adhere better.

Chicken strips are good with plum sauce, and even better if you add a
little Chinese hot chili sauce to it. But add the chili sauce a little at a
time because it gets pretty hot. I find most BBQ sauces a little too sweet,
surprisingly more so than plum sauce.

On those rare occasions when I deep fry, I also do it outside. Saves
getting the smell of oil all over the house and having vaporized oil
settle all over the kitchen.

Small house. No ventilation in the kitchen. Convenient outdoor
cooking
facilities, however. Nice stable place to plug in the Fry Daddy and
everything.

However, I never fry often enough to get good at it, so I am
disappointed by
the results and rarely fry. I leave it up to restaurants.

There is a KFC about a block away from me. Their chicken is tender and
juicy, but I like my chicken a little crispier and with more of the fat
rendered out of it. (I hate biting into the big mushy globs of fat in a
piece of Kentucky Fried Chicken.) I keep a Fry Daddy Jr. on the counter
full of lard. Toss the KFC in the Fry Daddy for a couple of minutes and
it's just the way I like it. Almost home made. That's how I (a lazy
bachelor) fry chicken.

Wayne's recipe for breading, hoping that will help -- but I'd better get
to thinking about it before the snow flies, because I will not fry
chicken in the kitchen. It will have to be done outside.

Oh, I doubt you guys are alone in this. I bought one of those giant
electric woks that Wayne is talking about. It sits on this big tripod
thing. I used it exactly twice. I didn't like it and I can't put my
finger on why. I decided to retire it to the seldom, if ever, used
gadgetry spot in the basement. Well, my neighbor was fascinated by it.
He came over to watch me cook in it the second (and last) time I used it.
Well, he bought it from me and took it to his house in Florida. He uses
the thing all the time when they are down there.

My irritating SO is 52 today. Yep. We be gettin' old. I asked him what
he wanted for his birthday dinner. So he replies, "fried chicken". I'm
like, huh? I was expecting the usual "grilled steak and salmon" response.
Sheesh... I do NOT feel like making fried chicken today. I wonder if
Hodak's does carry out. Nah... that won't work. He'll notice the kitchen
isn't totally messed up with seasoned flour, oil etc. I haven't made
fried chicken in a long time. Well, here is the method I'll be using. It
was posted by Wayne Boatwright in rfc years ago. I've used the method
before and it works. With the chicken will come fresh mashed and peas
with house made gravy. I'm buying his birthday cake. I hope he chokes
on the chicken (just kidding).
Show quoted text -
Try this, Michael... Prepare 3 dishes; one with a beaten egg with a
little water or milk added, one with a 3 to 1 mix of flour and
cornstarch, and one with a 3 to 1 mix of flour and cornmeal. Rinse and
dry chicken pieces, dip each piece individually first in egg mixture,
then in flour/cornstarch mixture, then back into egg mixture, and finally
into flour/cornmeal mixture. Place pieces on rack and allow to dry for a
few minutes, then fry as usual. You'll have incredibly crispy chicken
that holds very little oil or grease. After frying, you might want to
place on a rack in a slow oven for 15 minutes or so.
Oh, BTW, both flour mixtures should contain salt and other seasonings you
prefer.

I feel your pain. Mine never lives up to what my grandma could do.
Hers was perfection - I think her coating was just seasoned flour. I
wouldn't ever put cornmeal in the coating - that type of coating
belongs on fish. ;-) I think double-dipping and air-drying the dipped
pieces a little before frying is the key.

As to pans - I would never put a lid on fried chicken - even if you
uncover it for the last few minutes, it won't crisp up again, at least
in my experience.

Ginny, REALLY, you should be able to do this. I've posted several
different recipes for fried chicken over the past couple of years. The one
Michael quoted was one I posted especially for him, because he was looking
for extra crunch. It works. The one I usually make for myself uses only
seasoned flour/cornstarch as a coating.

Huh? I've never considered myself good at frying chicken. Mine is

and some garlic powder. It turned out pretty tasty tonight.

After years of failure I finally got the common sense knocked into my
head about the actual frying process. I have to keep telling myself to
be patient and don't crowd the pan. Just fry a few pieces at a time or
the temp will get too low and the chicken will wind up soggy, or worse
yet, the crust will just completely disintegrate. Patience has never
been, and probably never will be, a strong character trait of mine.
Don't know the dynamics frying chicken, but I now make a passable fried
chicken that I'm not ashamed of.

Glad it was at least pretty tasty. My Mama does the perfect fried chicken.
Even following her every step, I can't duplicate it. I have given up.
Biscuits I have mastered. Gravy isn't a problem. Fried chicken. Not a

No, 52 isn't old. And Fatty, whatever his current incarnation, is a

I've been lurking for a bit, but had not seen any of his posts.

not a problem at all. I am trying to learn more about photography, so
any criticism is welcome :)

Ellie *is* very tall for her age. she's only 5. You're right, time does
fly. It wasn't that long ago that I was looking at the ultrasound
picture, trying to imagine what she's look like.

My irritating SO is 52 today. Yep. We be gettin' old. I asked him
what he wanted for his birthday dinner. So he replies, "fried
chicken". I'm like, huh? I was expecting the usual "grilled steak
and salmon" response. Sheesh... I do NOT feel like making fried
chicken today. I wonder if Hodak's does carry out. Nah... that won't
work. He'll notice the kitchen isn't totally messed up with seasoned
flour, oil etc.
Come on, Michael! You can toss a little flour around, get some on your face
and clothes. Spritz some oil on the stove. Get creative LOL

Just say you cooked it outside in the stable.
If you haven't got a stable, don't mention it until after the first

Hodak's does carry out. Nah... that won't work. He'll notice the kitchen
isn't totally messed up with seasoned flour, oil etc. I haven't made
fried chicken in a long time. Well, here is the method I'll be using. It
was posted by Wayne Boatwright in rfc years ago. I've used the method
before and it works. With the chicken will come fresh mashed and peas
with house made gravy. I'm buying his birthday cake. I hope he chokes
on the chicken (just kidding).
Show quoted text -
Try this, Michael... Prepare 3 dishes; one with a beaten egg with a
little water or milk added, one with a 3 to 1 mix of flour and
cornstarch, and one with a 3 to 1 mix of flour and cornmeal. Rinse and
dry chicken pieces, dip each piece individually first in egg mixture,
then in flour/cornstarch mixture, then back into egg mixture, and finally
into flour/cornmeal mixture. Place pieces on rack and allow to dry for a
few minutes, then fry as usual. You'll have incredibly crispy chicken
that holds very little oil or grease. After frying, you might want to
place on a rack in a slow oven for 15 minutes or so.
Oh, BTW, both flour mixtures should contain salt and other seasonings you
prefer.
Wayne
Hmmm, interesting! I've never done cornmeal for fried chicken,
although I have tried crackermeal and it's quite good. I'm glad Steven
is over his flu -- tell him I said "happy bday"... :-)

It went great! Oh, except it took him about 3 hours to 'get' what the
birthday card meant. He's an eBay junkie when he has some time to spare. I
found this card with a chicken on it proudly wearing this outrageous plume
of ostrich feathers. On the inside the card reads "I found it on eBay". I
thought he would get a kick out of it since he wanted fried chicken for
dinner. Well, he didn't get it... for hours and then he couldn't stop
laughing. I swear, the smarter they are the more you'd like to slap 'em :)
His cake is a white cake with strawberries and the icing is fresh whipped
cream. The cake is awesome. I bought a large cake so I'd have some fuel
for tomorrow. I had to laugh. I looked up the date when you first posted
that fried chicken recipe for me. You posted it in 2004. How time flits
by.

Glad to hear all went well. That card is hilarious! I would love to see
it. Today is David's birthday and I haven't bought card, gift, or anything
yet. I hope I find a card as funny. As for food, I'm going to have to
pick up something to bring home, as I still can't stand long enough to
really cook a nice meal and I have to work all day anyway. He is still
housebound recuperating with his new knee, so anything tasty will seem like
a treat. A local bakery makes an authentic black forest cake that he
loves, so that's already been ordered. 2004? Yikes, that was a while ago!

Cheers,
Wayne

Take out Chinese could be kind of romantic and cozy, but that doesn't quite
fit the cake. I don't know, what goes with black forest cake? Pork? You
can't just pick up pork as take out, though. Well, you know your area, you
know what's available and you know what David likes. In any case, wish him

Take out Chinese could be kind of romantic and cozy, but that doesn't
quite fit the cake. I don't know, what goes with black forest cake?
Pork? You can't just pick up pork as take out, though. Well, you
know your area, you know what's available and you know what David
likes. In any case, wish him a happy birthday from me. :~)

Thanks, kili! There's a good German restaurant not too far where I
could pick up weiner schnitzel, and another place where I could get
some good chicken fried steak, both of which he loves. It will
probably be one of those, unless I dream up something entirely
diferent. :-)
Ohhh... do it! Weiner schnitzel sounds really good.
Michael
I ended up getting the weiner schnitzel with späetzles and paprikas gravy,
red cabbage, cucumber and sour cream salad, and a dobosh torte. He was
delighted! They packed it up so nicely that it was piping hot and the
schnitzel was still nice and crisp. We just finished eating our meal a
short while ago, so haven't cut into the torte yet.

Glad to hear all went well. That card is hilarious! I would love to
see it. Today is David's birthday and I haven't bought card, gift, or
anything yet. I hope I find a card as funny.
Tell David happy b'day from us. I found the card at either Petsmart or
Petco. They have some really funny animal type cards for all occassions.

As for food, I'm going
to have to pick up something to bring home, as I still can't stand
long enough to really cook a nice meal and I have to work all day
anyway. He is still housebound recuperating with his new knee, so
anything tasty will seem like a treat.
Hmmmm... carryout. If he has a favorite restaurant you might see if
they'll fix you up with a carry out. Do you have a Sam's Club? They make
an awesome roasted chicken. I couldn't believe how good it was when I
bought one. I'm sure it's injected with fluid but when in a crunch what
is one to do ;) Do you guys still drink alcohol? A really nice bottle of
wine would go nicely. Steven doesn't drink much, maybe 2 or 3 glasses of
wine about every 3 years so I don't bother. I can't drink these day
either. The liquor cabinet sits there all neglected. You could do a nice
picnic type thing. Really good food, tablecloth, wine. Jesus, I sound
like my mother.

A local bakery makes an
authentic black forest cake that he loves, so that's already been
ordered. 2004? Yikes, that was a while ago!
Cheers,
Wayne

We have a Sam's club, but not nearby. We go to Costco. However, almost
any restaurant out here will package entire meals for as many people as you
want to serve, so that's handy. Many will also deliver, but not the German
one I went to. I did do it up right. :-) We ate in the dining room,
tablecloth, candles, flowers...the whole works. No, we don't drink
anymore, but I will make espresso to go with the dobosh torte.
