The cast-iron skillet is a crucial tool in making fried chicken at home.

For sure.

Make sure the grease is not too hot, that will leave middle under cooked unless you burn the outside.

The best fried chicken is Southern Fried, at a low heat, to keep the moisture in the chicken.
It's a learned art, and takes a long time to learn how to do it right.

Another helpful tip. Try not to make fried chicken while only wearing swimming trunks or in the nude.

Fried chicken was one of my mothers specialties, along with meatloaf and egg custard. I have eaten my weight in those 3 things. Mom's gone now but Mr Ditter fries my chicken for me and I make him meatloaf. We have given up on the egg custard.

What is making fried chicken or cooking bacon?

I'll have things not to do while naked for $1000, Alex.

Good fried chicken is a learned form of art. It’s very difficult to get it perfect without a lot of practice and patience.

Cast iron skillet; let the raw chicken get to room temp right before frying (so it cooks more evenly); marinate it in brine for at least half a day, season the chicken itself and not the breading (before breading; there’s so much more.....

It’s not difficult, but it can be messy. Years ago I read a prize winning recipe that included a few drops of yellow food coloring in the oil to give it more of a golden color :) I’ve been known to do just that!

My wife ( an old Southern Georgia Girl) fries the best chicken you can filnd.It is not a major undertaking for her she basically follows the ideas in the above article. Southern Fried Chicken is a tradition in the South on Sunday after Church, along with mashed potatoes, milk gravy, sliced tomatoes, and of course home made biscuits. Of course it is necessary to have a Old Southern Cook to prepare this feast while you have been in Church. Ummmmmm Good. Then what you do after this feast is take a nap
