Most People Are Frying Chicken Wrong! Try These Black Southern Tricks

Most folks aren't frying chicken wrong because they're careless. Nobody ever sat them down and taught them the old way. So pull up a chair, sugar. In this one I share eight fried chicken tricks straight from my mother's kitchen in Alabama, the ones that turn the cheapest cuts in the store into a Sunday supper that feeds a whole family for a couple of dollars. From getting the chicken dry, to the buttermilk soak, to the double dredge, to the one thing nearly everybody throws in the trash that's really the best two meals of the week. Nothing fancy. Nothing wasted. Just the knowing, passed down the way it ought to be. If your grandmother cooked like this, or you wish she'd taught you before she went, subscribe and cook along. I put out one of these old suppers every week. It doesn't cost you a nickel. Keep the old ways.
