grandma always said that it was more about what you cooked it in and don't get in a hurry she used a cast iron pan and lard. as for seasonings she used black pepper and seasoned salt and a pinch of dill.

I have a Paula Deen cookbook and I don't know if I have seen a fried chicken recipe in there now I have to find it and look. I know the pecan pie recipe in there is awesome, damn now I want fried chicken and pecan pie.

I do similar to that Paula Deen recipe except I soak the chicken in buttermilk over night (instead of using eggs), use shortening instead of oil (I would prefer lard, just not sure where to find it), and use paprika in additional to salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Just season the chicken before dredging in flour and then shake off all excess flour to avoid burnt matter in the bottom of your frying pan.

Serve with beer.

My mom's was similar to what Danny said.

Flour, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder.

For grease, we always used left over bacon drippings we kept in a coffee can. Does anybody still do that these days?

I haven't had a good fried chicken meal in centuries. It seems they are just really hard to find if you don't do it yourself. Now I'm really hungry.
