...and here's a third vote for Popeye's red beans and rice, with a big mess of their deep fried crawfish...to go with some cajun chicken, of course!

Several fried chicken recipes I have call for the chicken to be first soaked in buttermilk!!

I have seen this...usually when I do wings, I soak them in buttermilk (or regular milk) for like a couple of hours before I fry them up...don't ask me why, that's just how I learned it...

Butteermilk tends to produce a darker crust overall. I'm on the fence about it.

I have been trying to eat healthy, but... I do like fried chicken and chicken fried steak. I have not eaten at popeye's for years. I agree with the gentleman from Big D about Babes, but the family owns a small place in Highland Park across from SMU called Bubba's. That is where it is at!!

+1 for Bubba's :aportnoy:

Also, AQ Chicken House in Springdale, AR (the original location, since it has now been turned into a small chain) is legendary for fried chicken.

Heh, I just finished a very unhealthy meal of Kentucky Fried Chicken. I'm starting to get hungry again reading this forum, though :icon_smile_big:

I really like Kentucky Fried Chicken confused: maybe it's growing up in Kansas?), but my problem is that all the near by KFC's have gone out of business.

The nearest one is a couple of miles away (and out of the way!). I guess my community is to foo-foo to support KFC.

I like KFC, but I almost never have it since I've been in my weight loss program.

That stuff has a ton of calories. I do buy just one piece once in a great while. It is pretty good chicken.

I'm a fan of buttermilk as well as brining. Use a cast iron pot, don't crowd it and watch your oil temp like a hawk...

I'll have to try Bubba's. I'm in the PMBA program @ SMU this fall, short walk!

If in Kansas City and the desire for fried chicken strikes, "Strouds" is lengendary and shouldn't be missed.

I realize that this is a 'zombie' thread but the subject is eternal. Should any one of you ever find yourself in South Central L.A., there is a small chain called Golden Bird. Do not hesitate to stop by and order some of theirs. Marvelous.

 

[Howard]

I love Fried Chicken especially when the crust is nice and crispy.

The last time I did battle with a plate of food like that, it was in Yoder's Amish Restaurant on Route US 30 right out side of Grissom ARB, IN. Desert was a two inch deep slab of apple pie. Good gracious, now I'm homesick for Hoosierville. LOL.

The "Colonel" sells a pretty good chicken sandwich, contending all others are just second rate imposters! LOL.

Greek fried chicken and potatoes.
