I'm too old for fried chicken. I now cook my chicken on a Sunbeam carousel. It is better than cooking it in the oven. I do wrap bacon around the chicken and inside the chicken.

I should have said "wrap bacon around the top of the chicken and inside".

i use to go to the kfc alot,i went to the kfc alot during the late 1980s,then again during 1993-1998.but the kfc here in pittsfield,ma over charges for the chicken,they charge over 2.50 for 1 breast.i remember in 1993-1994,the kfc had the buffet,they would charge 2.99 for lunch and 4.99 for dinner for the buffet,i would chow down a few large breasts with pototoes and gravy.then in 1996,the price went up from 2.99 for lunch buffet to 3.99.then supper buffet went up from 4.99 to 5.99,its still a good deal and no problem with it.but in the late 1990s and especially the past 5yrs,kfc closes the buffet and started charging high prices for everything and ripping people off by charging over 1,000 percent.im surprised the kfc hasnt been reported to the better business for this conduct

My Mother-in-law is polish, and her Wedding Chicken is the BEST! Here it is, try it you'll LOVE it!

RECIPE:
Chicken: 2 legs, 2 breasts, 2 thighs, 2 legs (or as much chicken as you need.)
Milk or Buttermilk: entirely cover chicken and marinate for at least an hour.
Combine 1 cup flour, 2 tsp. salt, 2 tsp pepper, & 1/2 tsp garlic salt.
Drain off buttermilk and roll chicken thru flour mixture. Brown in oil or fat til golden brown.
THEN, drain chicken and put into greased or foil-lined pan, cover with foil or lid, and bake at 325 degrees for 3 hours. PERFECT! This is guaranteed to be falling off the bone, as well as juicy and tasty! Another alternative is to put it in the crockpot after browning (browning can be done in the morning or the night before) and lo and behold! At dinner time it will fall apart & your family will fall on bended knees in front of you!

I stopped going to KFC because I went in and purchased an eight piece meal, as I was waiting and just before they informed me that they were out of biscuits and I had to wait for them, I turned around and saw on the wonderfully hidden "special" sign that a ten piece was less than an eight piece PLUS you'd get four extra pieces of chicken with it free. Good customer service would have been to inform me of this special when I placed my order. Instead of them sticking extra chicken in my bucket, they lost a customer. I cancelled my order, got my money back and headed down the street to Captain D's. I have not been to a KFC since. I despise poor customer service.

I had this type of fried chicken many times when I was in the South, but it does not seem to have made widespread inroads anyplace else. It is , in my opinion, the BEST fried chicken period.

My mother's fried chicken was the best. She would soak sliced fatback for about 10 min in water to remove some of the salt then fry it up. Then she simply dredged the chicken in flour and fried it in the fatback grease. I know, artery clogging, but I swear it was the best fried chicken on the entire planet. For those of you who don't know about fatback, it's similar to salt pork, but without the meat, it's all fat and it's a southern thing.

The now-defunct Lee's chain had the best chicken I ever ate. A keel (double breast) counted as 1 piece and a 3-piece would buckle a paper plate in to.... KFC lost me as a customer when I spent over ten dollars and left there UNSATISFIED, Their prices have SOARED and their service is apathetical at best. Here I come, Popeye's akakakakaka

My mother passed away in 2004. Yes, I do belive that our mom's were the best cooks bar none. Mom always had a way of making what ever she was going to serve the most enjoyable tasteing that you ever had.
God Bless our Mom's they will forever hold a place in our hearts.
Maybe that is why we always remember Grandmother as being on the heavy side as we were growing up. They worked hard and ate good. No worry about calories or cholestrol in those days. My grandfather always said to eat good meant you were doing goog.
Thanks you.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
I am so tired of seeing wonderful "home" recipes "lightened up" "use canola oil", "use the oven" not the stove top.
I love this recipe and remember it from my grandmothers kitchen. I still fry my chicken the old fashioned way, and have taught my children to do the same.
thanks again

I try to compromise frying my chicken in veg.oil with a table spoon bacon grease as added flavor. Not a dish to eat every day, but on special occasions it is a great treat. Also, I grew up frying chicken in a cast iron skillet which is the best.
