I think I started a thread about this a while ago, but I can't remember.
Anyway, since we are talking about food in other threads, how about fried chicken?
What types do you prefer?
Extra Crispy? Homemade? Spicy? Frozen? KFC? Popeye's?
I prefer homemade myself; my mother makes some fantastic fried chicken.
Nothing too fancy in the marinade; simply white vinegar, garlic and onion powder, some salt and a pinch of pepper. Then let it sit in a Tupperware in the fridge overnight.
As for the coating, she does it in two ways: bread crumbs and ordinary flour. Not together, mind you.
She beats two raw eggs together, puts the chicken into a ziploc bag with the egg mixture and marinade, then shake the whole thing together. Then, put the egg coated chicken into another ziploc bag, this time with either flour or bread crumbs and shake thoroughly.
As for the fry medium, my mom uses plain old vegetable oil.
As for other types of chicken, I will eat Popeye's but I really have to be in the mood for it.
KFC's chicken is all right, but needs a smidge of salt.
Frozen fried chicken is okay, as long as it hasn't been in the freezer too long. I prefer to fry it in oil after thawing it for a bit. Putting it in the microwave just destroys all of the taste.
However, cooking it in a convection oven in a small tray that has been sprayed with a bit of cooking spray gives it a nice flavor.
