Thanks Itsy for posting up your pictures! I'm really glad you had success too!

Here are our pictures.... they turned out kind of dark, but that's our camera... so I'm glad we have your much better photos to look at Itsy

Floured -

Frying -

DONE!

-

I did mom up some wings before I did my strips... darn those things got HUGE after being double floured!

She could only eat two of them, and no sides either

But I did make a mistake in not switching the oil between the two batches of wings and two batches of strips... the wings shed alot of flour which burned in the oil but I was being stubborn about not wanting to waste it... so my strips had an el burned flavor to them

But they still turned out crunchy!

Mom agreed some spices in the flour would make them even better. I suppose I'm just a bit weird in prefering the taste of plain

but maybe plain just goes better with ranch. I might try some fresh ground pepper next time!



PS - Big Mike..... your computer technician is TOO cute!!

Thank you thank you thank you for showing me how to finally make fried chicken!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Marking my spot so I can find it again later. I can't print the recipe right now, my printer died and I ordered a new one from Amazon but it's not here yet. This looks and sounds soooo good. I'm wondering how well it would work for Chicken Fried Steak.

Oh my. We just had leftovers for lunch - cold. It was SO GOOD!!!!! AND, the chicken was still crispy after being in the fridge.

I just picked up some self rising flour at the dollar store a little while ago. I've got a dinosaur roast that I cooked day before yesterday that I have to use up before I make this but I'm defiantly going to give it a go.
