I never liked what's called southern fried chicken, I think all that
breading ruins chicken, it prevents the skin from crisping, in fact
under the breading the skin is pretty much raw, yik. I tried KFC
once, DisGusting! I buy whole roasters, cut them into eigths, season
and oven bake on a rack in a pan. I also remove the backs (don't need
any bitter spinal fluid) and pull out the rib bones (makes for easier
eating). Or I grill/rotisserie chicken outdoors.
