So far, almost one million people have watched a video of a man in a Tricorne hat demonstrating how colonists made fried chicken in the 18th century.
The recipe, first published in Nathan Bailey's 1736 cookbook, "Dictionarium Domesticum," utilizes quartered chicken, malt vinegar and green onions as a three-hour marinade, flour and white wine as a frying batter, and if you really want to go authentic lard or clarified butter as frying oil.
"The tartness of the marinade contrasted to the sweetness of the batter really sets this dish off," costumed video host Jonathan Townsend says in the video description.

That’s my recipe too, except I mix the flour with corn meal. Hotter than sin, then simmer.

Your mother was right about using lard. . .more healthy than the vegetable oils of today.

Yup. Safest veg oil to cook in is olive oil.
Coconut, beef tallow, lard, are all bettern than all veg oils.

For me fried chicken must not be super greasy. Ideally the cook blots some off with paper towels. I like dark meat and have the salt shaker nearby and the hot sauce too. I retrain myself on using salt but not when it comes to fried chicken.
A1 Steak Sauce is great on fried chicken
