Now if you're a fan of sweet chicken, this is the recipe for you. The secret of this whole recipe is: C-R-I-S-C-O! Oh, Ms. Deen hit it on the nail. I fried this for my family and the first question popped out of my dad's mouth was, "Did you use syrup?" Suggestion: Don't use as much water as called for.

I have never made fried chicken before this. I always thought it looked way too hard and it wouldn't turn out crispy. This was very crispy and yummy. Don't be afraid to season it with the salt and pepper, or whatever you like. I don't think I used enough-my own fault. Thanks Paula! I will make this again.

My 13 year old daughter wanted to make this after seeing the show. Sooooo easy and quick. Instead of self-rising flour she used a biscuit mix (like a bisquick) and instead of shortening she cooked in 1/4" of veg oil. It turned out perfect, perfect, perfect especially with the guidance of the cooking times for light vs dark meat. We will definitely want our daughter to treat us again! She also made the Mashed Baked Potatoes from the same episode and we all said this was going to be a family favorite. Thanks Paula! You're inspiring our daughter and pleasing the whole family! Yay!

I've adopted this recipe for fried chicken at my house. I salted and peppered the raw chicken liberally & put it in the refridgerator for a few hours before frying. The crust turned a nice golden brown and didn't fall off in the pan. After frying the chicken, I placed it in the oven, covered, at 250 degrees for 45 minutes. Farm fresh fryers are always a plus.
Go Grandmother Paul!

I loved this fried chicken recipe, along with the rest of this show's recipes. And, no I'm not from the South, well, okay, 6th generation Southern Californian. But, thanks to the U.S. Military, I've spent more time than I care to remember in Texas and the rest of the Deep South. She sounds, that is, her accent, sounds like many, if not most, of the other people in that wide geographical swath of our country. Let it go, people! Comment on her recipes, and not on her accent!

When Paula took a bite of this chicken on her show, her eyes welled up with tears. I understand that impulse entirely--this chicken was just SO GOOD. Simple, comforting, homey--it just felt like Sunday afternoon in a skillet. I used peanut oil, too, and I'm tempted to put a LITTLE thyme in the flour next time, but I have to say that this is so good just as it is that I'm almost afraid of ruining it by mucking it up. We had it two days running--once hot, and once cold with some cool salads. Next time, though, definitely--milk gravy, mashed potatoes and buttered peas will be sitting alongside on the plate. Paula, thank you--you're just the greatest!

The best Fried Chicken ever. I was unsure how it would turn out I have tried many receipes over the yrs and this I must say is the best. My husband and daughter raved about it. They actucally like it better than Browns or KFC. I plan on making it tomorrow night again. Wow!! I can't wait!!
Just like my Granny's

I have been looking for this recipe for such a long time. My grandmother made fried chicken just like this. I followed the recipe and I felt like I was eating fried chicken in my granny's kitchen. I gave the recipe to my girlfriend and she made it for her family and they gave it rave reviews as well. Thanks Paula! This is awesome.
best chicken we have ever eaten

i adjusted it a little because i dont like black pepper all that much, i added a garlic pepper seaoning that tasted great (steak house seasonings) and about 3 tsp of bread crumbs, i would sugest a longer cooking time or in the oven!
Good but messy.

This was pretty good but really messy. I've only made this once, and though it didn't come out as crisp as I thought, I'll definitely try it again. And as others have noted, do not skimp on the seasoning.
excellent

This chicken is so crisp and delicious. I used peanut oil and it was fantastic.

I really enjoyed making this chicken. I also enjoyed eating it. But I kind of altered the recipe myself. I used peanut oil and I placed some texas pete hot sauce in the egg mixture. It was delightful. Enjoy everyone!!!!!
Excellent chicken

This recipe is so easy even I could do it! It reminded me a lot of my Grandmother's chicken that she used to make when she was living. This is really easy and simple. Thank you Paula for sharing this recipe with us.

This is really awesome fried chicken! In her cookbook, Paula says to use Lawry's seasoned salt for this recipe (which I noticed wasn't on this list) and it really makes it! Definitely try it, you won't be sorry!
Fabulous & Super Easy

This fried chicken reminds me of my Grandmother. Every recipe i've used of Paula's is delicious. For the Crisco I just spooned a bunch into my cast iron pan (DO use a cast iron pan!), about 1/2-3/4 cup? For the person who asked, definately dont cover the chicken with it, NO need. For seasoning I just used salt and pepper and put it in the fridge for about 2 hrs - but next time i'd like to try a spicy recipe..I think any seasoning you want to use would be fine, but the original is great. Oh, and I choose to remove the skin from my chicken - turned out juicy, crispy and wonderful.
mmmm, good

My family and I have always looked for a recipe for excellent fried chicken - and we finally found it!!!! Our children, {all 7}, ages NB thru 14 years love the crunchy outside coating and always ask me to make this, when I ask them "what they would like for dinner". It's easy to whip up and I was making double batches, but now I have to add a THIRD batch!! Thanks for this awesome recipe, Paula, your Grandma Paul is an outstanding cook and so ar you!!!
Finally!!!
