Fried Chicken

January 24th, 2012

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.

    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 has to be outside.

    I rarely have Fried Chicken, but it is a guilty pleasure. I’m going to pin this recipe for a “rainy day”. Emily, your photos for even on a post on Fried Chicken are stunning. Have a lovely day.

    Yanno, I’ve never really heard of herbed fried chicken, but once I read your post I realized why not! Great recipe, I love fried chicken and this seems like a nuanced idea for such a traditional snack during football games ;]

    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!
