This is one of our favorite recipes to take along on a picnic. We like to eat the chicken cold, along with a salad and watermelon. It's a real treat!

Well worth the effort, reminds me of summer days at Grandma's house for dinner.

This is the first time making Fried Chicken and this was great. I did change a couple of things. 1-instead of a shallow bowl i used a large zip bag. 2- added a few shots of Hot sauce to the wet bag. 3- added chicken to the wet bag and let it rest for 1/2 hour turning the bag a couple of times. When I was ready to start putting the pieces into the dry bag I first drained the liquid from the wet then started by dropping only 2 pieces into the dry bag at a time. Clean up was fast. Will make this again and again. Thanks

I have fried chicken for years, decided to try this method, it is the best even the next day cold, not a greasy taste. Love it.

i would like to get an honest rating from people who cook FRIED CHICKEN... if you dont want the fried foods dont look you ruin the rating system. of course if its fried in oil its greasy dont act dumb, ask stupid questions. go look up salads if thats what you eat!

THIS IS A KEEPER. AS FOR THE COOKING; COOK IT THE WAY YOU USUALLY FRY CHICKEN.

THIS TASTE WAS VERY GOOD. THE WHOLE FAMILY LOVED THIS.

I made a lot of chicken in my life. But your cooking time of 35-40 minutes is way off.
