Well, few foods are more comforting than something deep fried – especially chicken.

As a kid, I always remember my mother and I driving some KFC out to my dad as he was harvesting alfalfa in the summer in Wyoming (He had some pasture several miles out of town). We would sit on the tailgate of the pickup and swat mosquitos as we gobbled up the greasy stuff along with those nice salty buttermilk biscuits. Always tasted great but it was a long ride back to the house and a drink of water. Later, the leftovers always made a great midnight snack.

I recently tried making my own truly fried chicken for the first time – not our usual lo-cal “oven-fried”. The recipe I tried was pretty simple: seasoning the chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika, then dredging it in flour and plopping into the deep fryer for 10 minutes or so. Not bad, especially the drumsticks. But I think there must be better recipes out there. Do you have any?
