Wanted: good old fried chicken recipie,

[asy]

Asy,

`the lady in my life has been wanting to go there for years, so maybe one day I'll take you up on that offer!

It's no idle offer. You'd be more than welcome!

asy :D

asy, I keep forgetting we have a language barrier.  It almost seems that you're speaking English, most of the time. ;) ;D :D :D :D  I don't know what you would call what we call a biscuit, since you've wasted the term on cookies. :

Charles, have you tried the frozen biscuits they have now?  I use'em all the time. They're so easy, and you can bake exactly how many you want.  That may be the only item in the Walmart Super Center that ain't made in China.  :

DanG, I really can't say that we've ever done bought any of them froze biscuits.   At least probably not in 18 or 20 years or so.  And for some reason, I HATE going into that walmart super center.  Even though we've got em at all the towns surrounding us.  Heck, up there in New Albany is a main Walmart Distribution Center that they built a few years ago where they get all that foreign stuff in, unload and stack it, and then mix it up with other stuff to send out to all the stores.  Anyways, I HATE going into them Walmarts.  It seems I tend to find and spend money on stuff up in there that I'd a probably not even thought about I needed or even spent the money on if I hadn't a went in there in the first place.  :

Y'know I often wish that we'd get one day in our lives to reverse stupid purchases.

Like, one full 24 hour period where we sit in something like a Virtual Reality machine and ALL our possessions, past and present are paraded past, and we can hit a "KEEP" or "TOSS" button.

Everything we toss out, we get that $$ credited to our bank accounts...

Everyone gets to pick the day they choose... 

Just one day.   Tomorrow's good for me...  :D

I try to do that when I shop. I think, Would I wish I could take this back in a year's time.

Doesn't always work....   :-[   But I am trying...

(andrew says I'm very trying)

asy :D

Charles, m'boy!  You ain't gotta go to Wally World to gettem. They're in any old grocery store these days.  What it is, is just regular ol' biscuit dough, just like yer Mama made, all rolled out and cut into little circles, then froze and poked into a plastic bag.  I've only been see'in them around for a couple or four years.  Look in the frozen food section of your favorite IGA and give'em a try.

DanG, I know those biscuit you speak of, thay are pretty darn good....

All this talk about fried chicken, got to me today. While at the grocery (Piggly Wiggly around here) this afternoon, I told my dear wife that I was hungry for fried chicken. She rolled her eyes a bit.
I picked up 5 thighs, and came home with some of your thoughts and recipies in mind. I messed up two eggs, poured crisco oil in the fry pan, mixed flour and spices. Trimmed the thighs, egged em good, and floured them. Fried til brown one side, turned them, and covered. Poured the egg batter in another small omlet pan, and fried that (appetizer!).
Dear wife boiled some potatoes and made thick chicken gravy.
I don't know how many years it's been since tasting good fried chicken, but tonight was fantastic.
A fry pan going in our kitchen is a real rarity. I may have just changed that tonight.  ;D
Next time will add the DanG biscuits thanks to DanG.

Thanks to you all, and this thread.  8)

Glad to hear you had a positive poultry experience, Beenthere. 8)  I try to do that about twice a week. ;D

Hi beenthere, how was the trip?

[beenthere]

Furby
Been trying to find the time to put a 'trip report' together, and in summary, it was 'fantastic'. Especially the first 5 weeks.
Then an incident, while 'off-roading', caused by a big 'bump' in the road, put my dear wife in the hospital with a fractured vertebrae. The seatbelt didn't hold her in the seat, and she crashed into the headliner and smacked back into the seat.  Scheduled for surgery, but the surgeon said he wanted to try a brace for 3 months.  In short, she is doing very well considering what it could have been. This happened in rural eastern AZ and we ended up back in Scottsdale, AZ for 10 days, 6 of them waiting for the approval of the Dr. to fly her home (we did enjoy the 75° weather that week however). I followed the plane home in the car (on the ground ;) ).
Home now a couple weeks and with her full body brace, we are getting along pretty DanG good.
I'll try to put together a short monologue of the first, glorious 5 weeks. Almost managed to see Frank_Pender, but that didn't work out for us.

Hiya beenthere...

Read your last post and I really feel for your wife...  I've been there...   :

I have an awfully bad back compounded by full body arthritis which is mainly in my spine... 

It's not fun.

I hope she comes good, and doesn't require surgery...

Am sure thinking of her.

Oh, and, I'm glad the chicken was good!   Next time, try coating it in cornflour before you put the egg on, it helps the egg stick to the chicken and will give you a crispier crust.  ;D

asy :D

[Furby]

WOW, really sorry to hear about your wife!
Hope she's back on her feet soon.

Will be looking for you trip story, but no hurry as you have other things to attend too. ;)
