How do you fry chicken?

[happylabs]

A HOB IS A MALE FERRET!!!!

It's a cooktop surface!

Thanks! After I wrote that I googled it. I guess I have always had a stove and oven combined. I need to get out more.

KFC and a little home cooking diner fries it for me.

That's it? No description of the fries?

We have a little burger joint that adds season salt to their fries when they come out of the fryer!!

They are crisp and have bite to them!

Ready?

I just cooked up a batch using the basic methods-Everyone's idea will get a chance-I split two thighs and legs, washed them and rolled them in a flour/pepper/garlic and onion powder/season salt mix.

I heated up a steel skillet and dropped them in. I did one side for 15 minutes, flipped them and did 10 minutes, then flipped once more and did a 7 minute turn.

I popped them out and the are cooling at the moment. I took a piece of skin off and it was good-I have to 'adjust' my spice level-it was a little underseasoned from the test, I have to look into this!

I didn't want to kill myself so I put less of what I thought they needed to cook.

You guys really rock.

The next attempt is going to involve paper and cornflakes!

I am off to eat!

The best part about cooking experiments is that the results are usually edible! Enjoy!

Richard, I said they fry it for me. No fries. However, if you have a Five Guys Burgers and Fries, go there! They are the best. They always have fresh potatoes from Idaho and they leave the skins on. They're crisp like you like but I usually ask for them not so crisp. And they have the best hamburgers, too.

Ive only done hot wings, the little ones. I also have a deep fryer.

Hmmm...what are their farming practices. Or, don't I want to know?

If you google "KFC Chicken Farms" all kinds of crazy things come up. It might not be true, but I don't want to take the chance. The place that provides KFC chicken in my area is also a shady place (Sunrise Poultry) so I just choose not to go there. Although, I did hear this year that KFC are implementing new practices and ethics, so maybe I don't have to boycott it for much longer!

THe KFC protesters are pretty easy on the eyes. BS crazy, but still easy to look at.

I tried the Bisquick chicken tonight. It was awesome!!! Tasted like fried but it wasn't. Such a gorgeous color to it too. Thanks to the person that posted that recipe. If you haven't tried it, give it a shot. It is great!!

That is the whole point!!! Feed the ferret with beans and then you'll have the gas supply!!! Pretty logic, no?

For electrical: plug the ferret, oh well use you imagination!

That is what we Maltese use!!! We're just 400,000 in population and use Ferrets. You cracked me up!!!

My hubby's mom made the best fried chicken ever - the traditional way. Her secret was to dip the pices in BBQ sauce before the flour...YUM!!! Gets lots of flavor to the meat and not just to the crunchy outside.Oh and she also used only a cast iron skillet.

We were HOB-bled there for a moment!

DDM,
What do I know?

-----------------

The chicken came out great. The skin was very good and the meat was done perfectly. I want MORE crispy so I'll try the CFs and paper bag style next!

Thanks again....I am looking forward to trying all the suggestions!
