👉 PRO TIP: If you want to sneak in some other seasonings, this is the time to do that. The taste of black pepper is very important to authentic southern fried chicken.
STEP 2: Liberally salt and pepper the chicken pieces on both sides. STEP 1: Thoroughly dry all the chicken pieces and place them in a single layer in a pan or large bowl. Now, let me show you how to make fried chicken the way we do it in the south. If you find a butcher today who knows what the wishbone is and can actually cut a chicken with a wishbone, you have found a gem! Unfortunately, butchers no longer cut the wishbone leaving that portion in with the breasts. The wishbone is the prime piece between the top of the breasts. Long ago, there would also be a wishbone.
I’ve tried a lot.Ī chicken properly cut up for frying should result in two breasts, two wings, two thighs, and two legs. I, unfortunately, do not have that particular skill. If you have the skill to do so, buy a whole chicken and cut it up yourself. Try to at least find the lightest weight bird in the case. That’s pretty hard to find in today’s supermarkets especially when chickens have been bred for more breast meat thereby causing them to weigh more. The very best southern fried chicken recipe is made with a chicken that weighs about 3 pounds.
