Owe wow wow wow. Your chicken probably blows my aways big time lol. You have that granny touch that only love and time brings to food. May God Bless you and thank you so much for sharing and watching. Very honored to have you with us Bessie.
I remember riding my bicycle through our neighborhood with the aroma of chicken frying in any one of the homes. The aroma of my youth, wonderful memories!
Grandma always put a pat of butter on each piece towards the end. She always fried chicken in a cast iron pan. Thanks for taking me back. She's in heaven now and I haven't had great fried chicken since 1986.
Your fried chicken recipe is something that I have never seen before. I seen it with the buttermilk recipe, milk recipe, and plenty of salt . I can't wait to try your recipe. I'll be leaving you a comment on how well it came out and how well it taste periods❤ I love the way you prepare your chicken I can't wait to try it as soon as possible.
I fry my chicken the same way that you do. My mother (RIP) taught me and my six siblings how to cut up, clean and fry the chicken. Thank you for sharing.
Our Friday night dinner at my parents in Brooklyn NYC in the Brown stone 3 story walk up. Oh the smell was Heaven. This meal you made was spot on was was on our table every Friday night at 6:00 PM I still have all my Mom's cast Iron skillets. and use them all.Yes they are from her home down in Augusta Georgia. 👍✌
I was transported to that Brownstone on a Friday night in the past. Thanks for sharing. Hold on to those skillets. Wish that I had one of my grandmother’s.
Me too! But I don't like the huge pieces like they sell today. When I was growing up you never saw chicken like that in the grocery store and the flavor was so much better! I had a butcher who showed me how to cut up chicken years ago and once you learn it's so easy. Thanks for showing these young people how to do it!
We've made everything more complicated. We all grew up eating chicken fried this way. Even BBQing... I have 3 different grills with diffuser plates, thermometers and all kinds of accessories... My parents never used none that stuff and the BBQ came out great.
I'm with you brother. My friend was on his smoker with like ten wires hanging in and out of it. I asked him if the thing was on life support or what lol. If I have to hook up all that crap to cook a meal I'm done.
Believe it or not, I am 70 and have never fried chicken. I will follow your video to the T. And get back to you. This was so inspiring ❤ Extremely impressive presentation.
You are very humble and a skilled chef! You make it look easy. Well follow up to my comment.... My chicken was an EPIC FAILURE! The only variation to your process was not buying a whole chicken. They are over $20 here and I refused to do it. My chicken parts I will not even call it fried chicken. They were soggy and terrible! You rock though!
Cast iron, there is no equal. I have a skillet that's been in my family since the 30's i could loose everything else but that damn pan. Cheers mate, much love from Oregon.
Had to subscribe after seeing this! I’m 64, this is the way my grandmother did it. She would let us pick the chicken in the yard, she would catch and it was on!
My grandmother is from Birmingham, Alabama and my mom is from Washington, DC. They both had their own way how to fry chicken. Cast Iron Skillet were their best pan to fry anything. My grandmother cook just like don't need extra stuff to fry chicken old school folks. I'm a 85 baby. I grew up in the 90s. Sunday meals were best at grandmother house. sadly I loss my grandmother the day after Thanksgiving back 2016. My mom is living in a nursing home with stage 2 dementia. I'm 38 years old I cook just like my heroes. I do add some short cuts in the mix. You just brought me to my childhood. Blues and cold Pepsi in my grandmother kitchen. My mom kitchen was old school songs from the 70s-80s soul and R/B with rum and coke mix in her cup.
I plan to go buy two chickens today and fry them up with your recipe! How delicious looking, I am licking my lips already and so is the dog! Thank You, I am 66 and never knew what you taught me today.
Excellent cooking, excellent commentary and excellent attitude sir. Your sharing is caring way of thinking is what is missing in the world today. People should pay attention to this simple fact. 😎👍
Since moving to Georgia 9 yrs ago I've wanted to learn from some real southern cooks. Last year was my biscuit adventure, now I lucked out and found your technique for fried chicken! Thanks for the knowledge 😍
Not only did it look delicious but the sound of the crunch! The beans reminded me of the beans my grandmother made when I stayed with her in Texas. Sometimes we just had the beans with some cornbread! I am looking forward to trying this recipe! Thanks! ❤️ 👍
When I saw you using a fork and not tongs to turn the chicken, it reminded of how my father cooks chicken. All he uses is salt and pepper and his cast iron skillet chicken has the best flavor I’ve ever tasted.. and it’s even better the second day or cold‼️
I can remember my Mamaw had two kinds of Sunday dinner after church. One was the kind where a roast beef and potatoes and carrots had been low cooking all morning while we sat in church, stomachs grumbling. This meal was generally ready a half hour after we got back. But the other meal, the one we looked forward to was skillet fried chicken which took some time, as you demonstrate. I remember hearing the sound and smell of that chicken frying, wanting to eat, but knowing the wait was worth it. I would give anything to eat another drumstick from that skillet, but I reckon you have put it back on me to make it myself. Maybe doing so will inspire memories in my daughter similar to my own. And maybe it won’t take her as long to get started as me. Thank you for the reminder. Can’t seem to find the chicken recipe link but I reckon I can transcribe it.
I love the look of this chicken. It was in the skillet long enough to really reduce the amount of fat in the pieces. And actually the skillet itself is pretty under-rated tool in the kitchen these days. It's kind of old fashioned. BUT it is absolutely the best for even frying. It takes a bit longer but the results speak for themselves.
Thank-you..!! Just made this reciepie, I didnt have whole chicken, so I cut up chicken breasts into strips and made them into fried chicken fingers, and they were awesome! Thanks for sharing. My grandmother always use to make fresh bread from scratch, wish we had saved her recepie. Appreciate your time, from Texas.
Gramma did this every Sunday for dinner! Difference being she put onions in to fry with the chicken! Mmmmm was so good. Learnt her method and taught my 3 girls the same! Hopefully their hubbys benefit from it all too!
My great aunt Ethelyn (called her Leen) fried chicken this way. Pan was a bit smaller but still cast iron. I do not have the patience to stand there and tend frying chicken. I love it but have no current experience. I'm willing to try this now that I am retired!! It was soooo good.
Thank you for sharing your secret. I am from Texas, my mother was from Tennessee and dad, Georgia. I truly can’t not tell you how mama seasoned her chicken. I do know I have always buttermilked mine. The issue I always have is the outside is crisp while the meat to the bone is not cooked enough. I am going to use your recipe. I love the idea of using mustard as I use that in my meatloaf. Thanks for sharing. Yes, as I scanned the comments I agree your voice and instructions are very professional. Enjoy, Brother.
Here for the first time and once I saw that mustard...and the black iron frying pan and those beans😂😂❤😂Oh I knew I was subscribing. This is how I remember fried chicken and a dinner plate when I was growing up in the 70s. NO FUSS NO ...A MUST.❤❤❤❤Nice job and You have the best voice !!
Awww thank you and welcome so good to have the 70's children in the house bringing back the good old days. We have to keep the traditions so i hope this video helps just that. Please stick around and thank you for sharing your memories.
@@bbqsouthernstyleYour welcome.😊 Oh I forgot to mention I know I have that same knife. 😂😂😂I'm for certain I do. I think I purchased mine from a farmers market here in NJ. Lastly, you made cutting that chicken look easy.😂😂 Its honestly all in the knife. 12bucks that is 😂😂👍😉🥰Loved it. Clean Presentation Perfect!
I love your hat! My mom taught me how to cut up a chicken sixty years ago but I’ve sort of forgotten. Can’t wait to try this. My auntie made the best fried chicken too.
OK, I see "Skilet fried chicken" I think ok, who dosen't love a good Sunday dinner? Next, I see 30.00+ min?. Long video ..BUT....I FOUND MYSELF glued to the screen...WOW! BTY your wife is an outstanding camera operator. Slow steady stable hand. Many channels lose and "Push" valuable footage when they shake and rush the camera. You guys got it solid! Cheers my friends. Mac
I am a 50's baby from the south and my mom used to cut up and prepare chicken the same way. She would fry it in a large cast iron skillet with some lard back then and you could smell that chicken cooking all over the neighborhood. OMG finger licking good. I am so happy to see that you fry chicken the old fashioned way the same as i do. Thank you. From milwaukee
Awesome sauce...I have been doing this for umpteen years...I love the smell it gives off from shallow pan frying as opposed to just a grease smell from deep frying. ❤😊
I fry my chicken just about the same but haven't tried mustard, interesting so next time I'll try that. I'm glad you mentioned don't poke the chicken while frying. I learned from my grandmother and mom to cook because they both were excellent cooks, my grandmother was a cook for the Watson family when Tom was a baby, she knew all the tricks! Only thing I need is gravy made from that oil with all the bits! Nice job man! Cast iron is the best!
I am so happy you believe in sharing information. I go to Walmart and literally ask ppl if they have high blood pressure and tell them about beet root pills, that has saved my life. I am 75 and still active and healthy.
So nice to see this. It's fried CHICKEN, damn it. Not some fried fancy mixture of flour, and spices, and buttermilk, and double dipping, and special incantations with (oh yeah, almost forgot about it) some chicken inside. Thank you so much.
Lol Thank you my friend, my thoughts exactly. Thank you for the very astute observation and for and of course for watching! So glad to have you with us.
I'm doing your recipe tonight. I followed all your instruction. I got my fingers crossed for the best chicken ever. Thank you so much. I'll report back later blessings.
I never saw mustard in fried chicken, but so many little tips and things y’all said made so much sense and answered so many questions I’ve had for decades! Holding the pieces over other chicken so there’s no splash! Awesome! How to cut up a chicken, why no salt in your rub, how much oil, all kinds of good info. Thanks so much!
Wow love this. I still fry my chicken this way, it's an old black southern tradition yes I said it. I talk to people about frying chicken and they tell me all sorts of crazy stuff and it baffles me when it's so simple and good this way. I do one thing different in that I like to put a lid over the top it just seems to give it a better crisp
Lol right! I also put the lid on but, I'd figured I save that for the next fry. All the water falling in the water when you remove the lid may scare some folks lol. I don't think the ready for the that lol. As a kid it always made me sleepy when my mom had the lid on frying, and I'd wake up when she took it off from all the noise.
U just Keep On Rocking! Always Impressive, and Always make me Happy to watch U Cook. Reminds me of my Mother, so Succulent. Everyone wanted to be at Sunday Dinner. OMG what a Sight. She really enjoyed Cooking for Family and Friends. Thank U so much for sharing, I Can Hardly wait to see U in the Wind! Rock On!
Awww thank you! Sounds like it was a great time with lots of fond memories. I hope you make this and keep the Sunday dinners alive. Thank you for watching and sharing.
My Granny, Momma,Aunts, and my sisters, and I all fry chicken this way. It is always the best fried chicken. Thank you for this, I enjoyed watching you make it. Now I want fried chicken! 😂
