Favorite Fried Chicken Place!

[Vortigern99]

My wife and I prefer Church's. It's just so dang crunchy! I love the honey-covered biscuits, and my wife loves the smashed potaters.

We are ardently anti-KFC!!

But Golden Chick is okay, and Popeye's is good ifn' ya likes it spicy.

How's about YOU???

The local Church's here went belly up into forclosure. Popeyes is great, dirty rice for a side. BTW, Popeye's does have mild.

If your in Florida or whereever else Publix has grocery stores, their fried chicken is real good as well as their Subs

The Golden Skillet

Best fried chicken EVER.

The crust literally melts in your mouth and the chicken parts have 100% more meat then KFC's sickly birds.

Golden Skillet, baby

I'll except nothing less

Stroud's. It's in Kansas City. Their chicken is pan fried and it is delicious. They also serve these cinnamon bun thingies with your meal that are ridiculously awesome.

You guys are picking chain restaurants. BORING.

Man my arteries are yelling come and get it!

Ooh, Golden Skillet sounds delish! We don't have one in Austin! Waaaahhh!!

Agreed about KFC's stringy non-chicken little wastoids. That's why the wife and I cannot stand those guys.

But despite megoat's disdain, Church's has good healthy birds and damn fine crust as well!

Boy, Hector, that fried chicken sure looks good!

As far as chains go, I like Lee's Famous Recipe a lot. I used to go there in Evansville, Indiana. It's a chain in the some of the midwest and in some of the south.

Man my arteries are yelling come and get it!

It's done Louisiana style...I double dip in buttermilk with flour...it has paprika, a little bit of chili powder, a tad of Tabasco sauce, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin.

Medium heat in a presto pressure cooker...lid shut (I had it open for the picture)...I used canola oil...and each side cooks for about 15 minutes...so both sides are done in about half an hour.

An entire chicken will be done in about an hour...because my pressure cooker only takes one half of a chicken per session...so it's a bit of a slow process...I gotta get me something where I can fit an entire chicken...and be done with the whole process in half an hour.

I don't sumerge the chicken in oil...the oil covers about half the side of the chicken...it comes out less greasy that way.

Crunchy on the outside, juicy moist on the inside.

Delicious!
