Dark JUJU Fried Chicken

Posted by Yabu at 07:17 PM

Some people prefer white to dark chicken meat. I just plain loves me some fried chicken, I don’t care what care what color it is. The Juju Woman can get all up on top of it. She fries chicken better than my grandmother did, and that’s saying a lot.

Today, we fired up a batch of LEGS:

and a batch of THIGHS:

Fried some onion rings and Poblano peppers. Whoa! Made a pot of white rice and pot of the Juju Woman’s infamous chicken gravy. Added a little corn on the side. Too damn double damn good is all I can say.

LEG:

THIGH:

    Mmmmm. Fried chicken porn at its most salivating.

    Believe it or not, you can use just about anything to batter or bread your fried chicken with. My wife once found out she was out of bread crumbs, so she crushed up a bunch of H0ney Nut Cheerios and rolled the chicken in it before frying. Absolutely delicious.

    Damn, now I’m hungry. I’ve never fried my own chicken (probably because I totally suck at cooking!). I’m jealous. How much to hire you and your lovely wife as my personal chefs? :-)

    The local fried chicken joint runs a leg & thigh bucket special for little more than pocket change. I’m embarassed to say how quickly I can plow though a platoon of drumsticks…

      It does have a tendency to make one drool. The Juju Woman and I rarely “eat out”. Maybe once every three or four months. We cook everything. We have people over for dinner, and fried chicken is requested often.

    Man O’ Day I loves me some fried chicken. I am totally with that, I don’t care what color it is. I make a mean fried chicken dinner myself. Have my Mom to thank. That woman can take a batch of miscellaneous ingredients and make it into a gourmet meal.

    Can you write up an approximate recipe for that? Please. PLEASE? (!!!)

    The cast iron, I’ve got. What kind of seasonings in that breading. What’cha use for the breading? How hot for the grease. What kind of grease? How long you cookin’ ‘em, what’cha lookin’ for for done-ness?

    When you invitin’ me over for a good fried chicken dinner?

    Damn, now I know how Wylie E. Coyote felt every time he donned the bib and silverware, just before the RoadRunner got away. My “want” exceeds my “got”!

    Mercy, that looks delicious. Sure you can’t e mail me a drumstick? Just damn! /daxmontana
