So far, almost one million people have watched a video of a man in a Tricorne hat demonstrating how colonists made fried chicken in the 18th century.
The recipe, first published in Nathan Bailey's 1736 cookbook, "Dictionarium Domesticum," utilizes quartered chicken, malt vinegar and green onions as a three-hour marinade, flour and white wine as a frying batter, and if you really want to go authentic lard or clarified butter as frying oil.
"The tartness of the marinade contrasted to the sweetness of the batter really sets this dish off," costumed video host Jonathan Townsend says in the video description.

I’m trying to connect the dots between murders in Chicago and fried chicken.

“Each and every month as many people are murdered in Chicago, on average, as were murdered in Orlando in the recent massacre.
Chicago: massacre capital of the USA, home to Obama, by coincidence.”
Black on black crime. Fried chicken.. I’m seeing a connection!
the bones always screw me up so I debone thighs, soak ‘em in buttermilk marinade, roll ‘em in flour and black pepper, salt, thyme, rosemary, red pepper, cayenne pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and occasionally oregano and then fry them at 360 degres in canola oil for about 12-15 minutes and then serve them slathered with the easy black pepper gravy you get in a pouch for $.99. I do wings differently-without the buttermilk and rub them with spices before egg dredge and spiced up flour and then submerge them in BBQ sauce as soon as they come out of the deep fryer. I like to do a general tso’s style fried chicken that is out of this world too.
