    This is the way my grandmother made fried chicken, too -- tried and true. However, she always used chicken stock instead of water. I do think that's tastier.

    I really like the consistency of the breading using the self-rising flour and Crisco:- I could have used a little bit more seasoning but otherwise, it was awesome:-

    Based on some others' comments, I added a bit of seasoning to the flour, I wish I had added more. However, the chicken came out great, and this was much easier than deep frying. I'll definitely use this technique again. I also didn't use a cast iron pan (a really heavy skillet instead and I friied in vegetable oil rather than Crisco. Based on what I know about Crisco, you'd be much better off using lard than that. (Google it.

    My grandmother taught me how to raise, butcher, and cook chicken. She has been long gone from cooking in the farmhouse kitchen and I have long forgotten the "essence" of cast iron fried chicken due to trying to eat healthier over the years. This chicken melted in our mouths and warmed my heart and soul with the many memories of these same smells and tastes in my grandmother's home. Paula Deen you are a National Treasure to remind us all to embrace our heritage through the recipes handed down through the generations. Ya'all enjoy!!

    Fried Chicken is the one thing I was never able to cook. But today I followed Paula's recipe to the T and I'm proud to say that my chicken turned out great. Even my mother loved it and my mother is my harshest critic. Thank-you Paula! I'll be trying out more of your recipes very soon.

    To Lisa from Northridge CA posted at 2-14-2009 I think your crazy anything from Paula Dean is good maybe a little fatning because of all the butter but still it may have been because she misses grandma deen or maybe the chicken was good so just deal with it and mind your own buissness OK and btw the chicken was more than SO GOOD it was INSAINLY GOOD so deal with that
