Fried chicken is a dish consisting of chicken pieces
usually from broiler chickens, which have been floured or battered and then
pan-fried, deep fried, or pressure fried. The breading adds a crisp coating or
crust to the exterior. Oh – also Oven
Baked Fried Chicken.
American fried chicken has its roots in the Southern
United States, but Europeans have been eating fried chicken since the Middle
Ages! During that time period, cooks discovered that covering meat in flour and
spices before cooking it helped seal in the flavor and made it more portable. (Source: Punchbowl)
Celebrating National Fried
Chicken Day – today – Saturday – is a great day for a picnic
with this family favorite and gathering of friends and family. There are so
many good things to go along with the chicken, potato salad, and corn on the
cob, baked beans, salad, chips, mashed potatoes, gravy, and more wonderful
goodies.
Enjoy your long 4th of July weekend with
family and friends, be safe and have lots of fun.
