Most people who cook have at least one fried chicken recipe they turn to when the occasion calls for it. There are probably as many variations on the fried chicken theme as there are people who cook them. So, it's always interesting to read about how others do it.

Fried chicken is a favorite in most homes in the Southern United States and folks in the South have perfected it. There is nothing like a plate full of authentic Southern fried chicken. And again, you'll find many variations on the theme.

Fried chicken works for all seasons and for any casual occasion. You simply can't go wrong serving it.

While we all like to stop at Popeye's or KFC for fried chicken there is really nothing like the homemade real deal. If you've never made fried chicken, you should give it a go. Chances are, after you've had the homemade kind, you'll never want fast food fried chicken again.
