  • seems like a lot of work. I am sure with all those ingredients you have to buy its cheaper just to go to KFC.

  • Martha, the ultimate endorsement for crooking... Err, I mean Crookpotting... I mean, well, you know what I mean.

  • Bock-Bock the Chicken says "Why Corn Starch"? You brine/marinate, roll it in the powder, then slap all the stuff off it before you dump it in the fryer. Why do you prefer extra-wimpy instead of extra crispy?

    Because of health reasons, I stopped having a chilidog for breakfast, and I only have 2 drumsticks on my way to work. I know fried chicken, and you, sir, don't. Emmie at the Stop 'N Go on Poplar in Memphis TN has more frying skills than you. And you get a free grape jelly with every purchas

  • ...then you serve the frying fat on the side as a beverage, preferrably warm.  Thank you!

  • 16 hour chicken

  • Good fried chicken is moist already, by definition. Brining the chicken is just a freakin waste of time.

    Brining a bird (one container to clean), and going through the process of setting it on a wire rack after the buttermilk soak (two more items to clean) is simply pretentious.

    If a person chooses to hand squeeze the extra buttermik ( a great idea from the chef!), dirtying up more kitchen hardware is gonna make it so NOBODY will ever actually follow this recipe.

  • @ZombiedustXXX Why would nobody follow this recipe? I did. Came out amazingly well. Took a whole extra minute to wash the 2 pans and wire rack...

    And according to my friend who is a chef (not a guy who cooks at a restaurant) of 8 years ,brining chicken in a gallon of water mixed with a half cup of sea salt is the biggest difference you can make to make the meat that much more flavorful.

  • @AinSophAur31 Congrats, on the brine and the recipe results!

    I have never had a dry piece of freshly fried chicken in my life. I prefer the sodium content be in the hot sauce while eating.

    Blow your mind time: I did a deep-fried batch of 6 or 8 chicken thighs, and ended up with more oil and chicken fat than I started with! I wanted to re-use the oil back in its original container after filtering. The volume of oil and fat rendered while frying would not fit back into the originial container!

  • First of all, if the lard is natural, not processed, its way better for you than trans-fat. Secondly, if you eat this kind of stuff once in a while as a treat, and NOT EVERY DAY, and are physically active, your heart will be just fine.

  • i cant believe with all this shutting down restaurants because of trans fat and they still sell lard...double standards.

  • a heart attack waiting to happen,... but hey, I'll die happy!

  • did yah see the lard.

  • stop complaining how much fat there is on the food, shut the fuck up, stop being fucking lazy, and WORK OUT!!!!!

  • This is about the same way I fry my chicken except I use Canola Oil and I add some Cayene Pepper too the flour spread.

  • is EVERYONE GAY IN THIS WORLD! WTF

  • why he got to be gay

  • @FkyGGGG no just the talented smart good looking and rich ones

  • Martha is black!!

  • jesus christ, talk about a heart attck waiting to happen.

  • Well, if you fry at a high enough temp then the amount of fat in the food won't be TOO extremely high. I'm a athlete so I wathc my diet as much as I can but I can't resist really good fried chicken.

  • good grief...just hook an IV in my arm and let the lard flow...its going to anyway.

  • Scott didn't say so but the Edna to whom he referred is a black woman and southern blacks have the most unhealthy diets. Slaves and poor people got whatever was left over and since they were the cooks southerners really developed a taste for this type of food. "Country" ham is cured in salt and lard is rendered, congealed pork fat. A chicken can be brined for frying in 30 minutes if cut into pieces. This meal is eaten weekly down south. You can cook a lower fat, equally delicious fried chicken.

  • good lard goes good for fried chicken yummy

  • of course its going to be all lots of buttermilk + lard + butter

  • Im sure this is absolutely delicious but all of that fat inv9olved sorta turns me off. I'll have mine fried in plain ol' canola oil.

  • I know this is like a heart attack on a plate!! all that salt and fat it's just insanity!!

  • That looked disgusting.

  • delicious
