Nope. I can roast chicken, I can broil chicken, I can make any type of “simmer it and add dumplings/rice/taters” chicken, but I cannot make an edible meal of fried chicken. Probably genetic, being as I am a native New Englander.
I prefer Hopocan Gardens to White House (Belgrade is a distant third), but no, I don’t see backs. I would think they’d use the backs to make soup. Belgrade does make good soup, but their paprikash is unbearably hot.
Hot in temperature or spicy? Paprikash has 4 ingredients; lard, onions, best quality sweet paprika, and chicken. Salt and pepper too and MAYBE a sliced up hungarian banana pepper for garnish. Ive made this for old French people who were notoriously spice adverse and they loved it.
Oil-frying food, pan or deep, is something I’ve never bothered to master because I hate cleaning up greasy messes. But we have several oven recipes for chicken that are fought over with blunt instruments at the dinner table. (Along with grilling, when we don’t have two feet of snow…)
No argument on the hassle factor. I cook it enough that I could sleepwalk my way through it, and filter the oil so that we get several sessions out of it.
That reminds me of a South Park episode where Cartman eats all the skins off of a bucket of chicken from KFC before the rest of the kids had a chance to get at it. That made me laugh out loud because I can remember one time when I was a kid I did the exact same thing. My parents were PISSED!
Fuck KFC, for fast-food chicken, I’m a Popeye’s man all the way.
But if we’re talking rotisserie chicken, what they should motherfuckin’ bring back is motherfuckin’ Kenny Rogers Roasters! Never in the history of fast-food has there been a place that was made of such pure awesome, and they have to go and close it down! (In the U.S., now it’s only operating in Asia…) :mad: Fluctuations! :mad:
