I fry absolutely nothing indoors. I don't want the oil stench or the
grease vapor all over my kitchen. I either the side burner on the
gas grill or an electric skillet or wok.

Glad to hear that I'm not alone in this frying business.

Oh, I doubt you guys are alone in this. I bought one of those giant
electric woks that Wayne is talking about. It sits on this big tripod
thing. I used it exactly twice. I didn't like it and I can't put my
finger on why. I decided to retire it to the seldom, if ever, used
gadgetry spot in the basement. Well, my neighbor was fascinated by it.
He came over to watch me cook in it the second (and last) time I used it.
Well, he bought it from me and took it to his house in Florida. He uses
the thing all the time when they are down there.

My irritating SO is 52 today. Yep. We be gettin' old. I asked him
what he wanted for his birthday dinner. So he replies, "fried
chicken". I'm like, huh? I was expecting the usual "grilled steak
and salmon" response. Sheesh... I do NOT feel like making fried
chicken today. I wonder if Hodak's does carry out. Nah... that won't
work. He'll notice the kitchen isn't totally messed up with seasoned
flour, oil etc.

Come on, Michael! You can toss a little flour around, get some on
your face and clothes. Spritz some oil on the stove. Get creative
LOL

LOL... The only time I would ever try that is if my mother is coming for
dinner. She'd never know the difference between home made and KFC. Now
wine is a different issue with her entirely 😉

Just say you cooked it outside in the stable.
If you haven't got a stable, don't mention it until after the first

I don't have a stable but I do board my horse out in a stable. Hmmm...

Michael, I hope all went well and the chicken turned out to Steven's
liking. Wish him a Happy Birthday from David and me!

It went great! Oh, except it took him about 3 hours to 'get' what the
birthday card meant. He's an eBay junkie when he has some time to spare. I
found this card with a chicken on it proudly wearing this outrageous plume
of ostrich feathers. On the inside the card reads "I found it on eBay". I
thought he would get a kick out of it since he wanted fried chicken for
dinner. Well, he didn't get it... for hours and then he couldn't stop
laughing. I swear, the smarter they are the more you'd like to slap 'em 🙂
His cake is a white cake with strawberries and the icing is fresh whipped
cream. The cake is awesome. I bought a large cake so I'd have some fuel
for tomorrow. I had to laugh. I looked up the date when you first posted
that fried chicken recipe for me. You posted it in 2004. How time flits
by.

I envy you the ability to fry chicken.

Huh? I've never considered myself good at frying chicken. Mine is
passable IMO but nothing special. I did put a smidge of cayenne in the
flour mixture with some s&p and a couple of dashes of poultry seasoning
and some garlic powder. It turned out pretty tasty tonight.

Glad it was at least pretty tasty. My Mama does the perfect fried chicken.
Even following her every step, I can't duplicate it. I have given up.
Biscuits I have mastered. Gravy isn't a problem. Fried chicken. Not a
freakin chance. Glad someone else is brave enough to give it a go.

Happy Birthinday to your Steve. Hope his illness earlier in the week didn't
interfere with his appetite.

That whirling sound is the sound
of all my southern aunties when I state I am probably one of very few
GRITS (Girls Raised In The South) that cannot make fried chicken or
biscuits that are fit to eat.I can cook most anything else, but fried
chicken still stumps me. -ginny

After years of failure I finally got the common sense knocked into my
head about the actual frying process. I have to keep telling myself to
be patient and don't crowd the pan. Just fry a few pieces at a time or
the temp will get too low and the chicken will wind up soggy, or worse
yet, the crust will just completely disintegrate. Patience has never
been, and probably never will be, a strong character trait of mine.
Don't know the dynamics frying chicken, but I now make a passable fried
chicken that I'm not ashamed of.

I don't like the clean up after it. I don't mind making it but I'm
disorganized in the kitchen and I hate the aftermath of frying chicken.

Glad to hear all went well. That card is hilarious! I would love to see
it. Today is David's birthday and I haven't bought card, gift, or anything
yet. I hope I find a card as funny. As for food, I'm going to have to
pick up something to bring home, as I still can't stand long enough to
really cook a nice meal and I have to work all day anyway. He is still
housebound recuperating with his new knee, so anything tasty will seem like
a treat. A local bakery makes an authentic black forest cake that he
loves, so that's already been ordered. 2004? Yikes, that was a while ago!

Cheers,
Wayne
