My grandfather fried the best chicken. I can almost get it right, but not quite.
The crust is important. Not too crunchy, not too soft. But just right. Flour, salt, pepper & Crisco shortening. Iron skillet. REAL mashed potatoes with gravy from the drippings is a must. Otherwise the meal is incomplete.
[Perfect mashed potatoes must have a few lumps scattered throughout. None of that whipped, baby food crap.]

I cook a good fried chicken, almost as good as Mama’s, in her Iron skillet, one of 3 iron skillets in the family 65 years, now MINE and I still use them!!
Fried in Crisco, homemade mashed taters and gravy! A good salad to go with it! Man I’m hungry!
