Description
Most people fry chicken in vegetable oil because that is what they were shown. My grandmother never touched it. She used lard, a cast iron skillet, and a method that has been disappearing from Southern kitchens for fifty years. In this video I am going to show you exactly what she did — the fat, the overnight soak, the coat, and the one thing she did with the hot fat after every piece of chicken was done that nobody in the neighborhood knew about. Stay to the end.
