A fried chicken thread without a recipe? Where the heck is everyone?
Publix fried chicken is THE BEST!
BonChon!!
Is it just me or has Popeye’s made their spicy Cajun recipe less spicy? Their fried chicken just doesn’t seem as spicy as it used to be.
Is that an appeasement offer to the BLM herd?
Anyone know why KFC’s wings are now so small they look like pigeon wings? They’re also all broken and I’m not the only one who’s noticed. Did the chickens owe loan sharks money? Does KFC’s slaughterhouses only hire sadistic chicken abusers?
This is my favorite recipe to use for ‘Fried’ Chicken. SO GOOD! :)
Jean Anderson’s Oven Fried Chicken is perfect for a crowd. It is a little messy to make (I usually end up breading my hands, too), but it is worth the mess, and you will become very popular.
Makes 4 to 6 servings
Hands on Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Prep Time: 1 hour and 20 minutes
Ingredients
16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups fresh bread crumbs* (see method below)
1 cup (1 ½ ounces) freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano** (see Cook’s Notes below)
2 teaspoons Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
One 3 1/2-pound chicken, cut into 10 pieces (or all thighs, wings, or breasts if desired)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Combine the butter and garlic in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat until the butter has melted. Pour into a large bowl and cool to room temperature.
Mix the bread crumbs, cheese, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Dip each chicken piece, one at a time, into the melted garlic butter. Transfer to the bread crumb mixture and turn until coated on all sides.
Arrange the chicken in one flat layer on a large baking sheet. Drizzle on any of the remaining melted butter. Bake until lightly browned and just cooked through, 50 to 60 minutes.
*Homemade Bread Crumbs
You can buy bread crumbs at a supermarket, but it’s so easy to make your own that it’s ridiculous not to! You can use them right away or freeze them. If you freeze them, you need to dry them out in a 350 oven for about 5 minutes.
Makes about 2 1/2 cups
**Grating Parmigiano-Reggiano
When you grate Parmigiano-Reggiano you will get a different yield (volume) if you grate it on a microplane or on the fine side of a 4 sided grater. A microplane produces a fluffier, airier end result, roughly double the volume of what you would have gotten on a box grater. So, for this recipe, which calls for 1 ½ ounces of grated cheese, you will end up with 1 cup if you grate it on a microplane and ½ cup if you grate it on a box grater.

That chain used to be called Bob's Big Boy. I first ate at their original restaurant in Burbank, Calif. in 1957--and my last visit there was in 2018. In the '60's and '70's, Bob's Big Boy restaurants were found all over Southern California, but they began to disappear in the '80's, and now there are only about five left.
I can’t believe Churches Chicken didn’t make the list.
That is racist /s What about National Watermelon day? /s
You mean fried chicken and watermelons are still legal to eat?
In and around Fort Worth area.
Believe it or not, some of the best fried chicken in Maryland is at a chain of gas stations called Royal Farms.
Back in the day, when I was music minister of a church that reached out to bikers, the pastor, deacons, and officers of the church would go on our bikes, wearing our colors, to Popeye’s for some serious FRIED CHICKEN.
The franchise, in Ft. Lauderdale, was owned and operated by Black People. The treated us very well and greeted us by name every Thursday. It was a weekly ride that I looked forward to, and now miss very much.
Your posting brought back a nice memory. Thanks!

For decades, the Chicken Dinner Restaurant at Knott’s Berry Farm, an amusement park in Buena Park, Calif. has been serving fried chicken with mashed potatoes, gravy, and biscuits with boysenberry jam. My mother worked there as a waitress in 1942, and her boss was the wife of the Farm’s owner, Walter Knott. At the time, it was still a berry farm.
In the 1950’s, some of theeir chickens came from my uncle’s ranch, which was, as my mother described it at the time, “way out in the country.” Disneyland now sits on the site.
Knott was a big supporter of conservative causes. His family sold the Farm about 20 years ago, but their chicken is still good, and you can now take it home through their KFC-style takeout service.

Browns (Chicago area)

I could eat fried chicken 3-4 days a week.
