Off Topic (Fried Chicken Recipe)  

.
kidding aside, THIS has more to do with design than the uber popular palin thread(s)!

R U kidding?
AzureChicken, are you just toying with me? Because I don't think anyone else on here regularly is from the south. Is this like a test?
I'm going to play along. Here is how you fry chicken:
1. Get out a seasoned cast iron skillet.
2. Put an entire stick of butter or a half cup of your favorite cooking oil in the skillet on medium high heat until the oil is hot enough to fry in. (You can test the heat of your oil by flicking flour on it and if it sputters and spurts, your oil is ready to fry in).
3. Get out a big plate or platter or pie pan or something that can hold a good bit of flour. Dump a bunch of white flour, a healthy spoonful of salt and a good bit of pepper onto the platter and mix it up on the platter with a fork. Take your chicken pieces, (i.e. breasts, thighs and wings all with skins intact) and start with the breasts. Coat the breasts on all sides with the flour mixture and put them in the fry pan.
4. Breasts take the longest, so do all the breasts first. Lay them in the skillet and let them cook without the other pieces for about 15 to 20 minutes. Do not turn them. Do not even peek at them. Just let them be.
5. Now add your thighs. Let them cook for about 10 minutes on one side only. Now your breasts will need to be turned. Turn over your breasts. Once. Another ten minutes and your thighs will need to be turned and your wings added.
6. Another ten minutes and you can assess your breasts. Are they evenly crispy and brown on both sides? If not, lay them on the side that needs more cookin'. Ditto with the thighs and wings. Even frying is the key.
7. When each individual piece is done, lay it on a paper towel-lined platter to soak up the excess grease. Serve with cole slaw, butter beans and black eyed peas.
I still think this thread is a joke and y'all are playin' me.

What about a moose burger recipe?

Is that funny?
I knew it. Thanks, AzC. You're a funny guy.

I always
thought he was a little funny -- but its seemed impertinent to say anything.
Maybe if I prefaced my remarks with OFF TOPIC. . .?
I can see we'll not get past this until Nov 4 -- at least !

My recipe is too good for complete disclosion...
However, I will disclose a few tips...
1. Peanut oil. Olive oil stays in the cupboard for this recipe alone.
2. Buttermilk. Soak the chicken in a bath of buttermilk beforehand and the rest will be of little consequence.
3. Sage. Chicken and sage are like ying and yang.
Happy cooking.

Obama fried? or McCain fried? Ohhh Palin fried? Mmmm Delicious!

Where in the world
can you buy a "home" pressure-fryer. Considering my consumption rate at the local KFC, it should pay for itself in a few months.

Your recipe sounds great, except that the first step should be to throw the breasts away.

"Because I don't think anyone else on here regularly is from the south."
What exactly makes you say this?

R I K I
thank you, for your C R I S P, concise, recipe...its a winner...

McCain, Obama, Palin, Biden...

Buttermilk
Obviously Lunchbox is from the south because he knows about the buttermilk secret!
Whitespike, there's a thread on here titled Introduce Yourself Here that tells where people are from.
Gustavo, you are right, you win! You are really from the south. I guess you will have to give us your recipe for fried pollo. 🙂
