  1. Robb Dabb's, don't know what happened to him but he was a poster on another
    food ng, knows how to make American (southern) Fried Chicken! Here's his
    recipe:

    2-1/2 lbs. cut up chicken
    1/2 c. seasoned flour
    2 Tablespoons salt (that is not a typo)
    1/4 c. butter
    1/2 c. vegetable shortening or lard

    In a shallow bowl, combine flour, salt and pepper. In a large, heavy
    skillet [cast iron preferred] combine equal portions of butter and
    shortening or lard. When butter and shortening are melted, fat should be
    1/4 inch deep. Heat until a drop of water sizzles when flipped into the hot
    fat. Dredge chicken pieces in seasoned flour and place in the skillet.
    Take care not to crowd the pieces. Brown until the chicken is the colour of
    honey oak on one side. Then turn and brown the other side. Brown the meaty
    pieces first. Allow 20-30 minutes to brown the chicken on both sides.
    Cover. Cook on LOW heat 30 minutes or until chicken is tender. For crispy
    chicken, remove cover and increase heat in the last 10 minutes of cooking.
    Turn chicken as needed to prevent over-browning.

    Thank you Jill! This is a very simple recipe! I print also this!
    But I want ask you: What is "vegetable shortening"? Is it like margarine?
    Thank you very much for your recipe!
    Can you send me a photo of a fried chicken?
    Cheers

    Go here (you can use this link to find pictures of anything!):
    http://www.google.com/imghp?hl=en&tab=wi&q=
    And type "fried chicken" into the box.

    Here are some of the results I got:

    This is the type Hag makes (the deep-fried recipe):

    COOL! Here is a chicken leg (drumstick) that looks like a chicken face!

    I don't believe that this is a leg: it is a chicken's head!!!!!!
    In the first link there are very beautiful photos. The chicken seems very
    crispy and brown to the right point! The hag's one seems less cooked!
    Anyway. Now I have a hole in the stomach 🙂)))))))))))))))))
    Carol I don't know how thank you!
    THank you very much for the photos and recipes and ....your kindness!!!!

    OMG, you're right! Give that one to Ariane. She likes chicken feet.
    Maybe she'd like a head, too. 🙂

    Kosher salt is large-grained salt. Larger than table salt. Maybe you
    could use sea salt?

    Vegetable shortening is a white, whipped but solid animal fat substitute.
    Can you get lard (rendered beef fat)? If not, use cooking oil instead (but
    not olive oil, the taste will be too strong for fried chicken) along with
    the butter. It would be healthier than lard but not as authentic.

    I see Damsel already got you some photos of pieces of fried chicken.

    Yeah, well, I got up to use the bathroom and stumbled across a family
    emergency in progress on Yahoo messenger. Now I'm awake, and have nothing
    to do but post pictures of dead chickens. 🙂

    Why don't you call it coarse salt? Is the same thing or Kosher is a sort of
    "coarse and seasoned salt"?

    No, no, no. Ariane is a poster in RFC. She has very adventurous tastes.
    She's definitely not a dog!

    Kosher salt doesn't contain any seasoning. Just use coarse salt when a
    recipe asks for Kosher. 🙂

    Usually "shortening" stays for "strutto". In this case, I don't
    know what we could find in Italy to use as "vegetable
    shortening", but maybe you can use standard strutto.

    It is a bad thing for chickens because this animal feed itself on chicken's
    blood like vampires! First cut with their theeth the head and then sucks
    their blood! 🙁(((((( (poor chickens!!!!).
    Here is a photo:how do you call this animal? I found ""beech-marten" on
    vocabulary, we call it "Faìna".
