The weather isn’t as brutal as it could be, but it’s still hot. One of my favorite Summer dishes is Fried Chicken (eaten cold out of the fridge) and Cole Slaw. Fills you up without heating you up.
In an attempt not to be eaten, chickens employed a smart tactic. They named themselves after human body parts: leg, thigh, breast. Very crafty, chickens. But, I’m not falling for it. Just mention a leg or a thigh and I start salivating. (Thought I was going to make a breast joke, didn’t you?) Coat those parts with flour, salt and pepper and I fry them in a cast iron grill…on my grill! Why heat up the house?!
My standard Cole Slaw is three quarters shaved cabbage, one quarter grated carrot and yellow onion. Sauce it with a heaping spoonful of mayonnaise, splash of apple cider vinegar, drizzle of honey and salt & pepper. If you let it sit for an hour it’s even better.
These breasts are child’s play after that recent Sonic post…my eyes are still burning!
what is your batter recipe?
These were batter free. Just salt, pepper and flour. I let them dry out a bit before I fry to help the crispiness. Otherwise, I so a dry, wet, dry: mixture of salt, pepper, paprika, flour.. then buttermilk.. then the dry mix again.
