"BACK WHEN we used farm-fresh ingredients, our foods didn't need much embellishment to make them look and taste better. We always prepared our chickens the day before and cooked them simply."

I've always made my chicken like this. Most of the time I leave out the garlic but it is good both ways.

This is how I have made fried chicken for YEARS! Good teacher; my mom! My grandchildren tell their parents to 'go out to dinner' on the nights I make this for them. We have a great time, and they LOVE fried chicken!!!
