All you need to say is Fried Chicken! Brian and I have cooked many versions of this staple of most cultural cuisines. Hot fried chicken, double dipped, sweet tea… the list is long and varied. We like them all but recently we wanted a simple honest piece of fried chicken. Fried chicken like we ate at home with the family. Usually it was flour, seasonings, chicken and a paper bag. Put it all in the bag and shake. That didn't always go well so we left the bag part out. Fry the dusted chicken in a skillet and call it done. Simple!

I don’t eat a lot of fried chicken these days but when I do it should be special. Give me the chicken of my youth.
