Yep I can do most things.............except fried chicken. It's my achellies heel in the kitchen and now I'm gonna face it! It never comes out good. I always cook it other ways. Bit of irony, I make great restauant style buffalo wings...... Any tips? Or any recipies passed down you can share?

I do chicken strips for the kids, just slice a chicken breast into like 4 strips. Dip each strip in milk, then coat with flour that has some garlic powder, onion powder and pepper in it, then coat in scrambled egg, then coat with breadcrumbs. Any ol' breadcrumbs will do just fine, I like to smash up ritz crackers and cornflakes (leave it a bit chunky), then add italian seasoning and some more garlic powder. I'll put some vegetable oil (1/8" in the bottom of the pan) in a frying pan on medium heat, cook until one side is brown then flip it and cook the other side. Remove to paper towels for a few minutes then serve with whatever dippign sauce you want. I've never made it the same twice but it's always a hit.

Dry/wet, buttermilk/eggs, flour? I like the seasoned flower mixture Evan, but I might be over my skiis using crushed crackers and bread crumbs. I'm sure it tastes great, but knowing me it sounds like I might burn the exterior. ----------------------- *There is nothing better than clear skies, calm water, and fish on!!*

Truly, it's not rocket science, just try it and I'm sure it will come out just fine. This recipe seems real simple and has rave reviews - http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chicken-Fried-Chicken/Detail.aspx. I often use a well reviewed recipe like this as a jumping off point, I make it as it's listed, then modify it based on personal taste the next time around. Edited by Evan : March 9, 2010, 11:39 am

The bigger pieces like the breasts I do for about 10 mintues and then finish in the oven. Panko bread crumbs work great too.

Thanks for clearing up the buttermilk thing because I thought it was a simple dunk. BTW we all could use some of your favorite recipies here when you get a chance. Our common buds Sunshine and Hoss rave about your cooking. And I never will forget your photag tip... ----------------------- *There is nothing better than clear skies, calm water, and fish on!!*
