Sorry Man,

But if you ever come to Chicago you need to check out 2 places.


#1. Uncle Remus
#2. Harolds.

And you HAVE to get mild sauce.

I'll keep that in mind if I visit Chicago. Where I live, we have zero choice in fried chicken outlets, only KFC. Even the nearest Popeye's that I know of is a 5 - 6 hour drive. KFC has no competition in this town. I haven't tried the grilled version but to me it kind of defeats the purpose. The flavour is in the breading. They should consider selling the breading without the meat. :D

I went to my local KFC once and they had no chicken. The cook hadn't shown up. :rolleyes:

Can anyone make good fried chicken?
I need tips. The last time I did it I burnt the crap out of the outside whilst the inside was raw.
Ended up making a whole bunch of small nuggets and frying them instead.

Anyone got any good recipes as well?

Of course I couldnt give you my homemade recipe, but as far as tips:

-make sure the oil is hot, but not too high a temperature. Usually on an electric stove about 4-4 1/2 is good. Gas about a good medium. You'll know when its hot when a pinch of flour thrown in instantly sizzles.

-time usually depends on type of chicken. Wings and breasts cook in a shorter time than thighs and legs. For white meat try about 8 minutes per side, and 12 for dark. After awhile you just know.

-You really dont need alot of seasoning for chicken. Ive been told I have some of the best (even by my grandma), and I only use like 3-4 seasonings. I do season the flour as well. If you have time, marinating/seasoning the chicken the day before lets the seasoning flavor the chicken better and you use less.

-Dont like crispy skin? Use a lid. Frying chicken with a lid makes the skin soft (kinda like KFC orig).

I've found that it depends on which KFC you go to. The first grilled chicken I tried was all dry and not very appealing. But I went to another KFC and it was really good. Very tender and moist and quite tasty. I've had it several times now and I think I like it as well or better than the Original Recipe. Even if that is sacrelige to say.

I don't eat KFC. We have Golden, and Bush's, and Church's. Which all beat KFC, and none of which serve "grilled chicken", which is called barbequed chicken down here, and is purchased at the barbeque place.

Why buy barbeque chicken at a fried chicken place? You want it from the barbeque place, where you know it was cooked on good wood, in a real pit, nice and slow like it is supposed to be.

Those people at KFC must be on drugs.
