I'm all for trying old recipes. Never heard of this guy before. He's into Colonial reenactment. Youtube channel is https://www.youtube.com/user/jastownsendandson.

My Mother made the best fried chicken. One day when she was around 80 I asked for her recipe. She rolled the pieces in flour with salt and pepper.
She fried it in lard. She did get the grease pretty hot. She also did not get it quite as crispy as most.

Each and every month as many people are murdered in Chicago, on average, as were murdered in Orlando in the recent massacre.
Chicago: massacre capital of the USA, home to Obama, by coincidence.

We had a meal at King’s Arm Tavern, by candlelight. Magical.

The REAL secret to fantastic fried chicken is to let it soak in fresh clean water at least 12 hours before you fry it. That’s an old-time secret. Draws the blood out, purifies it, and betters the taste.

My family are reenactors. His videos are great! The ones on building and baking with an earth (mud) are worth watching especially if you are a prepper.

Maybe free fried chicken might keep the murder rate down.

My patriot ancestor was a famous chef during the time of the Revolution. He was trying a new recipe one night when he heard a commotion in the hen house.
He grabbed his musket, ran out and captured a loyalist looter.
In honor of the poultry which raised the alarm — he named his new dish “Chicken Catch a Tory”

Awesome fried chicken is totally easy. The recipe is so simple yet everyone thinks it’s some ancient grandma secret. Gads!

I would cut up the chicken— learned when I was about ten— then I was trusted to grill it (BBQ) but not to fry it in Crisco in the electric skillet.
Mom did the chicken-fried chicken.
Dad was busy shooting communists.
