Best fried chicken one can make. It's been a 4th of July tradition since the recipe was published t in Martha's magazine, I believe it was around 10 years ago. Thanks for such a great comfort food recipe!!

Boy oh boy was this chicken great! I used Canola oil and it turned out just right with Zero spattering. I Ithink my big cast iron skillet contributed to the phenomenal end result. The left-overs were even better served cold the next day for lunch. I served with collard greens, black-eyed peas, and garlic mashed potato. (and a sweetened southern-style iced Barry's tea)

jo68 the technique is when you put the chicken into the hot oil.. put it away from you, so in case it splatters, the oil splatters away from you , hope that helps

I have tried this recipe. It's very good. As far as the oil I use peanut oil, it doesn't crackle and pop when you add the chicken and it has the lowest smoking point and is better for you than canola.

I agree with comment number 3. If you cook to only 165 degrees, the meat will still be very pink near the bone. Yuck, I don't eat "pink" chicken.

I'll try this for sure, frying with 2 cups hot oil may not be easy for beginner cooks though, safety issues here. Joannabanana

Boneless chicken should be cooked to 165F but if you use bone-in chicken such as drums, you need to cook to an internal temperature of 180F. I'm a food scientist who works in R

since my complete comment did not register, I will try again. Pork and Beef were eaten in the winter. This chicken is excellent, everyone likes it and will make it again and agin until Martha comes along with a better recipe

Living on farm, we ate chicken most every day in summer, with pork

Yummy! That is some good chicken. My family loved it. We can't wait to have it again.
