2. "Fied" chicken?

I usually just take some flour, garlic salt, black pepper, paprika, and a dash of thyme and mix it together.

Then I rinse the chicken, coat it with the flour and fie the shit out of it.

3. Bake forty minutes per pound...

... and every three minutes, stand in front of the oven, point at the chicken, and exclaim, "Fie on you!"

Don't expect it to taste very good, either.

4. fried?

Seriously, the most important thing in frying chicken is having the right pan. I'm not kidding. You want something heavy, such as a cast iron Dutch oven. Preferably, with a cover.

The best coating is seasoned flour. Shake the chicken pieces in it and let them sit for a bit. The longer they sit, the thicker the coating. At least half an hour.

Heat about two inches of oil until a crouton dropped into it sits for a second before it starts to sizzle. If it sizzles immediately, the oil is too hot. If it sits for any length of time before sizzling, it's too cold. (I think the right temp is about 350, but I don't use a thermometer, so someone will have to correct me on this one.)

Add a few pieces of chicken at a time. Don't overcrowd. Steam will rise for a second or two, so wait a bit before you cover the chicken. After you cover it, cook for 7 minutes. Turn the chicken, cook another 7 minutes. Remove cover. Turn chicken again and cook until the crust is nice and brown.

One Dutch oven will cook four leg pieces (four large thighs, for example). That's about right for the dh and me.

6. Drive to Popeyes... :-)

Just kidding here it is:

- Season the chicken with salt and pepper (I also like to put a little Mrs.Dash original)
- Marinate the chicken in buttermilk for at least 2 hours
- Mix some breadcrumbs with some white flour in a bowl
- Put the marinated chicken in the breadcrumb mix and deep fry the chicken in very hot oil until it is golden brown

It is pretty heavy but it is tasty! And it is easy to make.

7. I understand that Hugh Hefner does

seriously.

It was his mom's recipe and it's supposed to be killer.
The recipe is in "Hef's Little Black Book" and many libraries
have copies. Of course, and I kid you not, the recipe calls
for over sized breasts.

8. If you mean Fried Chicken...

Yepper, sure do, but the way I learned it from my mother, who was from Ben Avon SC, is more intuitive than a recipe.

Add some salt, pepper, cayenne pepper(Not too much. This is not supposed to be a hot dish. Cayenne, in small amounts, acts in your mouth like MSG) to good flour. Put the whole thing in a brown paper bag. Rinse chicken, leave wet. Put in bag and shake hell out of it. Hear an inch or so of peanut oil in a cast-iron skillet(important! Cast iron holds heat the best!). Fry till done. Drain, but leave the solids on the bottom of the pan. Reheat the pan to about medium. Melt about two tsps of butter or margarine in the pan. Stir in whole milk and cook until thickened. Serve gravy over white rice.

Swoon.

This is not health food.

Oh, one thing: You can add other herbs and spices to the flour, as suits you. Onion powder, garlic powder, different dried and well-ground herbs...I have used them all. Experiment. It's fun.

9. i think a good fied chicken recipe includes some

fieing, followed by baking, unless you have a deep fat fier.

sorry to give ya shit about a typo...

i'm a vegetarian now...but i do remember the coating of the bird bits with a flour, paprika, s&p, then it being fried until browned on the surface, then baked until done...has to do with tough v tender. even heat...

10. Fee-FIED-Fo-Fum, I smell the blood of chicken being done.

Using Peanut oil will make for a better tasting Chicken.
