That is usually the case. And the real reason for such articles.

Corporations aren’t evil - they’re just being controlled by goons and thugs from the ‘intelligence’ services.

Ever wonder why there’s no car company ads on Fox News even when Fox has a much larger audience? It’s because government thugs in the FBI and CIA and Homeland intimidate private business. It’s call fascism.

“If you advertise with FoxNews we will hurt you seven ways from Sunday.

Bullies and Thugs... the hellhole way...

Except our heart and souls... but i am sure they are working on that too.
Its just a matter of time before they require people be tested .

T/F? A man can not be a women.

If you answered true.. you must report to your superiors for further evaluation.

There is an extensive write up of his very public complaints about whomever ruined his recipe. So maybe it was Hublein or RJ Reynolds. He actually went to restaurant sites for “promotional” cameos of cooking, and physically cooked their recipe and on camera threw it in the garbage, then served his recipe to attendees. This got around quite a bit. KFC of today is terrible. Am not a cult fanatic but there are very live websites on the entire story, including the still available source of the herbs and spices in a single container you can buy. It has to be pressure cooked during frying as understand.

You got it! People ought to try Mama B’s in NC, or some of the Quaker places, or Hursey’s, etc.

Crunch of the skin, not overbreaded, breading seasoned correctly and meat maybe even injected. Cajuns know how to do this, and they really know how to cook Cachon du Lait (piglets milk soaked and radiant cooked— whole festival down in LA. In Mansura, LA 100k people come!)

Granted this is NOT fried chicken. It IS mo bettah! Acadians.

Many times 30 years ago when in Savannah. Get there early for the first seating with big lazy susan on rollers with the servings on it— seated in the round. And, everyone first in— there was a Blessing of the food being served, and those there. For a long time prior it was a true boarding house... rent a room and included meals. Quite a place.

Sweet tea understand... leads to sweet pee (an old test for diabetes, docs would touch and finger to the tongue. Yuck).
If one was “spilling sugar” early or even late diagnosiis for the old phrased “sugar diabetes” (insulin resistance was not known). Funny remembering olde doctors and their brilliant practical knowledge. The middle ages up to 1800s not so much, heh!

Chachere’s and other Cajun chefs— get around that in straight fryers. They do use peanut oil, and they inject the meat before the seasoned breading goes on. Inject their own marinade style recipes. Does not cover the chicken flavor if done right.

Thanks for the info on the pressure cook method. Know a lot of cardiologists who try to warn people— but secretly they chow down on this! Heh. And light up ceeegars!

“The Chicken Dinner Restaurant at Knott’s Berry Farm, an amusement park in Buena Park, Calif. still turns out good fried chicken......”

Good to hear, my Sister worked there as well for a year or so in the mid 70’s. I haven’t eaten there probably since. I’ll need to get back there again.

Yep, you could get a room and a Great meal. Since Mrs. Wilkes passed, I doubt that the boarding house will ever reopen, but, the food holds up. During Covid, they were doing “to go” out the back door.

Those folks just love to cook!

BUT, if you ever go to Beaufort, SC, go over the steel bridge to Lady’s Island. Q’s Chicken Shack is a small building (NOT a Shack) on the right. They give Mrs. Wilkes a GREAT run for their money.
