FRIED CHICKEN
Here is a little trivia for you; until the latter part of the 20th century, fried chicken was mostly eaten in the spring and the summer. Two reason; Fried Chicken kept well in the heat of spring and summer, and because young chickens were used for the meat was tender and could stand up to the quick cooking and high temperatures used in deep frying. Pan fried or smothered chicken was prepared the other times of the year because it was cooked slower on at a lower heat. The older chicken is less tender and cooking it slow and low to make the meat fall apart.
My favorite fried chicken is the way my grandmother made it. slow cooked in a cast iron skillet using lard, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and a heaping helping of grandmotherly love. Makes it kinda hard to replicate. My mother used the same spices but would deep fry it.
Both were great hot and fresh or cold for lunch or on a picnic. That is what I’m looking for when I get Fried Chicken. Not only does it taste great fresh but is also great the next day for lunch
