I`m not a fan of frying foods because of the mess and the extra fat. So I made little changes. I added 1 tablespoon old bay to the flour for a little kick! I fried the chicken browning on both sides. Then placed on a rack on a cookie sheet pan. Finished cooking in the oven. The fat drained away from the chicken. The chicken was moist inside and crisp out! Thanks to you for the great fried chicken and your Mom for passing it on to you. She did good by you! Happy 75th Birthday Jim!!!!

Excellent! I made this a little different, meaning I am on a low fat diet, so I boil my chicken first, then batter & fry it, turned out great, I will make it again for sure

The chicken was wonderful. I didn't make it though, my mom did. I think that I could have easily made it though, because if mom can make it, surely I can. I'll put it this way, she don't fry chicken.

As a general rule at our house, I don't fry chicken. Not because we don't like it...I just seem to be 'challenged' in that area of cooking. Well, I am no longer challenged thanks to this recipe. My family was SO shocked to find out what was for supper...then they tasted it and were even more amazed. Thanks a million Jim! Now after years of having to eat KFC, we can stop as I finally have found a way that works for me!

We had company for supper and everyone enjoyed this recipe. I put the chicken in a large bowl and added the buttermilk with salt and pepper and alittle Johnny's seasoning salt and a dash of Beau Monde seasoning and let it sit on counter for 30 minutes while I prepared the rest of the dinner. I fried the chicken in my cast iron pan for 35-40 minutes on med high heat and the last 15 minutes I laid a piece of foil over top of pan and let it steam alittle. It turned out delicious and had lots of crunch to it and moist inside. Thanks for sharing your moms recipe!

This is another PAC recipe I made today. This was very good and crispy, however I did add some extra spices to the flour mixture for personal preference. Thanks for a really nice southern comfort Mother's Day meal

This is an excellent recipe for souther fried chicken. The buttermilk is the secret for moist tender chicken. Great recipe, JimB427 and so easy too. Thanks for sharing.

Oh Jim~this is delicious. It's New Year's Day here on the farm, and we wanted.....well something to that was just fun to eat as a family and would bring us good cheer and good luck. Yesterday I had purchased a large amount of chicken drumsticks, and these were perfect. Fat and big and budding with tender meat, I had the uncontrollable urge to just make "fried" chicken. I didn't however have self rising flour, but added 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder right in with the flour. Other then that, this guided us to comfort and soul reaching for this first day of the New Year. Unbelievably great! Thank you so much, Jim! Happy gardening in 2008! :D
