Looking for good fried chicken recipes.

[JoeSixPack1]

Is that a pan fry or a deep fry? Or does it matter? :-)

Well first let the chicken out of the coop. Go to the store, Buy a Porterhouse Steak. Go home. If that chicken is still hanging around let him watch you BBQ the meat. Eat steak put chicken back in coop Check back to this thread for a good recipe then repeat above until crispy

I've done it in a pressure cooker as well...it's excellent

Thanks for the Idea its right down the street I was married there and had the chicken for our reception awesome chicken and rasalberry pie

Get "Progresso Bread Crumbs, Garlic and Herbs."

Add Paprika, Sage and Black Pepper to taste. Bake, not fry.

Just reading that makes me want to slap my mama. Just kidding. But that sounds really tasty.

[Randy Larsen]

Wow!, That recipe reminds me of my younger days!

[RandallFlagg]

Just curious. How many requests have there been for a section on FR for FReeper's Recipes?

Whatever recipe you use.. Soaking the chicken overnight in buttermilk will make it awesome. I always buy whole chickens and cut them up myself. I also use a cast iron frying pan... everything else is secondary and done to taste.. But it's that buttermilk that makes it oh so good.

I agree, i have pan fried, baked deep fried but pressure frying is the way to go for me.

[Jeff Gordon]

Damn! That sounds GOOD.

[al baby]

How are you feeling ?

Try soaking them in yogurt, it works really well too.
Indian style.

Randy, reading aft_lizard's recipe, aft_lizard must either have been the cook at the Clayton Cafe or kidnapped her:

Clayton Cafe
50 North Main Street, Clayton, GA 30525
(706) 782-5438
Hours: 6:30 a.m.-2 p.m. Monday-Saturday.
Serves chicken daily.

The Clayton Cafe soaks their chicken breasts in buttermilk and uses a pressure cooker. The result: chicken that is absolutely GBD and crunchy on the outside, and steamy tender on the inside.

Your recipe looks good. I've never used a pressure cooker though.. Looks like I'll have to pick one up...

[nhoward14]

OMG! You've found a way to mix pancakes and fried chicken??? Will you marry me? :D

[Humidston]

That is sooooo bad! ;-)

[aft_lizard]

LOL actually I modified it from a supposably KFC knock-off recipe but all they had was salt pepper and accent and they didnt soak it buttermilk. I tweaked the seasonings and of course added the buttermilk with hotsauce. I also lowered the temp as the seasonings get into the meat better that way, a higher temp will make it crunchier but it loses a little glavor in the process.

We used to have FReeper cookbook...later became the CLinton Cookbook I think. It was great. I got a recipie for Ronald Reagan soup in it but I don't think my hamburgers marinated in maple syrup made it...sigh.

RjayneJ used to have link on her website but she passed awhile back and I havent' been able to find it since.

Ayone know where it went?

I like to give my chicken parts a soak in buttermilk for 12-24 hours before I season them, dredge them in flour and fry them in a cast iron skillet with about three sticks of shortening. As far as seasoning goes, I just use sea salt and maybe some paprika.

It's not my own recipe, as I blatantly stole it from Alton Brown. Forgive me for my lack of originality in the realm of fried chicken :)
