My Mother made the best fried chicken. One day when she was around 80 I asked for her recipe. She rolled the pieces in flour with salt and pepper.

She fried it in lard. She did get the grease pretty hot. She also did not get it quite as crispy as most.

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.

The REAL secret to fantastic fried chicken is to let it soak in fresh clean water at least 12 hours before you fry it. That’s an old-time secret. Draws the blood out, purifies it, and betters the taste.

My family are reenactors. His videos are great! The ones on building and baking with an earth (mud) are worth watching especially if you are a prepper.

My patriot ancestor was a famous chef during the time of the Revolution. He was trying a new recipe one night when he heard a commotion in the hen house.

He grabbed his musket, ran out and captured a loyalist looter.

In honor of the poultry which raised the alarm — he named his new dish “Chicken Catch a Tory”

Did he kill and pluck it himself?

I’ve been subscribed to this channel for a while - I even used to get their catalog in the mail back when I thought about reenacting. I’m glad he’s getting the notice he deserves. He’s the fun kind of prepper, and has an adorable family.

For me fried chicken must not be super greasy. Ideally the cook blots some off with paper towels. I like dark meat and have the salt shaker nearby and the hot sauce too. I retrain myself on using salt but not when it comes to fried chicken.

A1 Steak Sauce is great on fried chicken
