he fries a pretty mean chikin at his Kentucky Fried Chikin joints!

That's what I was going to say!

My dad bought a tub of Mountain High yogurt at Costco. It's much thicker than Dannon, richer flavor. I've read that you can marinate chicken in buttermilk before frying, but I'd like to try Medusa's method with yogurt and corn flake crumbs, especially with Mountain High yogurt.

Light meat for me, please.

I have never actually fried chicken, either. It's The Colonel for me. Dark meat, please. Preferably thighs.

white meat for me, i use Ladys Humans style, mostly...i use hot peanut oil in a DEEP pan to fry, flame on high i start breast side down/bone side up, 8 to 9 minutes, more if very meaty breasts, less if boneless. using tongs(don't puncture the meat) flip the breast. watch to decide your level of browness, for me the second side is usually 5-7 minutes. after i flip it i turn the flames down to 2/3 of what i started with then drain the cooked breasts on paper towel on top of old newspapers. Richard, there are mesh covers to limit spattering while frying and metal 3 sided shields to limit the spatter behind the pan. if that doesn't work....well the top of the stove gets washed with a good grease cutting dishsoap and rinsed, then the counters get washed then the front on the cupboards.....

I love KFC too! Just tried the new oven roasted last week. Very juicy and tasty.

Believe it or not....I have a Weight Watcher recipe for baked chicken - low fat buttermilk and then dredge in corn flakes. I made it a couple weeks ago - had some leftover buttermilk...couldn't find cornflakes so I used Special K (rice flakes) delicious!
