Favorite piece of fried chicken?
« on: October 25, 2010, 06:25:46 PM »
Me, I like the leg and the thigh. I like the breast, but it isn't as tasty. Mmm! Fried chicken.


And Popeye's or KFC?

KFC orginal is yummy. It is fairly close to mama's. Not quite though.

Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

I had Popeye's today which is what got me thinking about it. It was good. I like their "spicy" gravy for their taters vs. KFC's gravy. But KFC original is good.

There is nothing better (to me) than my mama's fried chicken. Ok, well maybe my great-grandmother's was better, but no one on this planet cooked southern food better than she. But KFC's original comes close for a fast food.

Breast.

Popeye's is okay. Chicken Express' batter is better in my opinion, though.

Both my mother's mother and my step-mother's mother made fabulous fried chicken. They both did it in the big old cast iron skillets that neither could lift when full of chicken.

My grandma also made the best chicken cream gravy I have ever had. She would let the "crispies" left in the skillet get even crispier and then make the gravy. Sooooo good. I don't know how she did it, whenever I've tried to make them crispier, I just end up with a burned up mess.  :bawl:

I don't remember my step-grandma ever making chicken gravy, because it seemed like whenever we were visiting and she was doing fried chicken, it was picnic type food because it was summer holiday time.

We don't have a Chicken Express. I've never heard of it. We do have a Penn's though, and their chicken on a stick is too yummy!! Penn's may be a southern thing though. I am not sure.

I swear I think the older people just could do it better. We've all tried to replicate my great-grandma's stuff, and it doesn't turn out the same no matter what. 1) She couldn't pass down a recipe because she never measured a thing. It was always a heaping half of flour, etc. 2) It may have also been that she killed the chicken, plucked it, cleaned it up, and then cooked it. No one does that these days. At least not many do. Everything was made from scratch and was fresh.

They are mostly in Texas and Oklahoma. They started out in Mineral Wells, TX.

I can remember being a little girl and my grandma teaching me how to properly pluck a chicken. Every little pin feather and the "core" thing left from pulling a feather....had to be removed.

I never participated thankfully. I don't think I could've done it, but I think it made a big difference. Of course, some people just have that natural ability to make anything taste good. I am working on it. Most of my stuff comes out yummy, however, there are some times when I think WTF did I do wrong this time.  :rotf:

The older folks used lard instead of shortening..... ;)

Boobiez!

Concur with the Popeye's thing. Really love their dirty rice, too. It's about the only time I'll ever eat chicken livers is when they're cooked and chopped up inside that dirty rice.
