Fried Chicken
For the most part, the chicken we prepare around here is grilled or baked, but every once in a while, it’s fun to change things up a bit. Last weekend for a football-heavy Sunday, we made this recipe, which didn’t disappoint. The herbed oil added such a nice dimension and the chicken was tender with a crispy, crunchy skin. Sadly we can’t add this kind of dish to our weekly repertoire, but it’s nice to know there’s a fool-proof recipe out there for those slightly more indulgent meals.

First the “dignified” rice krispie treats, and now herbed fried chicken… love how you’ve elevated these comfort food staples! I wonder how this would work baked… splattering oil always makes me uneasy.
We did nachos for football Sunday; both nachos and football are rare in our house, but they made for quite a fun and enjoyable way to spend a lazy weekend afternoon!
Love this recipe!

One of my favorite comfort foods. And since my family is Southern, this is pretty much a permanent fixture in our lives:-) The addition of herbed oil sounds intriguing
http://foodfashionandflow.blogspot.com/

This is making me seriously hungry! I crave chicken more than chocolate…I hate to imagine what I’d be like when I get pregnant. However, in England we have this place called Nandos which is a resturant purely for chicken, which I frequent quite often.

Yum, who doesn’t love fried chicken? And it may not be the healthiest dish in the world, but I’m sure that making it yourself at home makes it ten times more healthy than what you’d get a restaurant or fast food place.
Looks delicious! xoxo

Looks great, but when I make fried chicken, it’s Thomas Keller’s recipe. It takes 2 days (with brining), but it’s all worth it! So good.
Now I’m soooo hungry!

This looks delicious! Everyone needs a little fried chicken every once in a while ^^.
well, what a coweenkedink…i have an “occassional indulgence” recipe up today for chocolate pavlova. you’re right–you need those little cheats every now and then.
CupcakesOMG!
having the herbs defeat the purpose! take it out, add ketchup and french fries to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow that looks delicious! I defs want to try this recipe!

That’s so funny, my fiance just made fried chicken for us this past weekend too (and we never would usually make it)! This looks very similar to Thomas Keller’s famous recipe, but if you haven’t tried his you really should – it’s supposedly the best around (that’s what we had and it was truly amazing). Here’s a link to the recipe: http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/lemon-brined-fried-chicken

This posy has an uncanny timing as just last night my boyfriend asked for fried chicken after driving past a KFC (blech) ! Maybe I will have to surprise him with this
my only stipulation is when I fry anything it had to be outside.

Do you have any tips for photographing while cooking Emily? I tried to do some this week but they were awful, steamy camera lens, flour all over the worktop…
Are the any tips you could offer to somebody new to blogging? Food is a real passion but I can’t imagine my awful photos would inspire anyone!

Maybe it’s the way they were photographed, but the fried chicken looks like it has a slightly grayish tinge and it looks uber mushy. True fried chicken should be a warm golden brown and with breading that looks like it should just snap off while still maintaining the tender juiciness inside. This looks cold and like it would make you sick.
looks yummy!
http://www.petiteandhungry.blogspot.com
I think this fried chicken looks absolutely, a as a new!back-to-meat eater (afterv10 years vego), I might have to give it a go! Thanks for sharing!
