You're telling me a chicken fried this... chicken?

[-] spittingimage@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Probably for its own dinner. Chickens don't feel any angst about eating their own.

[-] solidgrue@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Over the fried remains of its beaten children. Savage.

I want a bite.

[-] assassinatedbyCIA@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Eggs aren’t fertilised. So its the beaten remains of chicken ovulation.

[-] solidgrue@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

As if you've never had a beak in your scrambled. 🤮

[-] SargTeaPot@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Mmmmm crispy scramble

[-] WhiteHawk@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Most of them are fertilized, they just aren't incubated so it doesn't really matter

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

We just call it fried chicken. I should know, I'm Mr. Manager. That being said, looks great and I want all of that.

[-] Shit@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

I think it's due to being cooked like chicken fried steak not sure how regional it is.

[-] notatoad@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

But chicken fried steak is called that because it’s fried in the style of fried chicken.

“Chicken fried like a steak that was fried like chicken” is very needlessly redundant.

[-] Shit@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah the south is weird, it's the whole dish combo not just the protein. I just immediately understand the name but understand why it sounds redundant/weird/dumb to someone who's never come across it.

Pan fried boneless chicken with black pepper buttermilk white gravy and mashed potatoes.

[-] jayrhacker@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

It'll be a flattened or cubed cutlet, not a natural piece of the bird, means you can fry in a pan with a little oil and not a big pot or fryer.

[-] Shit@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah but the gravy and mashed potatoes make it what it is as well. This is the root dish for the name.

I'm not trying to argue, just trying to explain ops naming choice not just calling it pan fried chicken with black pepper white gravy and mashed potatoes.

[-] SoonerMagic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I’ve always took bone-in deep fried chicken as fried chicken. This was a boneless breast fired in a pan, which I understood to be chicken fried chicken. Can’t remember where I read that though.

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I get the clarification. Just wanted to make an Arrested Development joke and it turned into a whole semantic argument. Alas, as Michael tells Tobias: "There's gotta be a better way to say that."

[-] Jack_of_all_derps@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Just manager.

[-] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

How do you make that gravy?

[-] Squirrel@thelemmy.club 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It looks like a standard white gravy, in which case it's mostly milk, butter, and flour (plus some salt and pepper).

And a little of the grease used to fry the chicken.

[-] kagemushablues@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

This is most key. Bacon fat preferably if going for the authentic breakfast diner style.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Could be grated coconut instead of flour

[-] SoonerMagic@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Cook equal parts flour and some fat (butter or oil) until it’s a thick paste. Slowly drizzle cold milk and mix. Add milk until consistency you want. Add salt and shit load of pepper.

[-] MaoWasRight@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I'm confused. You mix cold flour, cold butter, and cold milk?

[-] oSillyScope@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

They meant cook . Heat your butter till melted, stir in your flour to make a roux then add your milk then salt and pepper to taste.

[-] datwillpowerdo@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

I would inhale this in an instant. Looks great!

[-] darvocet@infosec.pub 5 points 1 year ago

From Texas and gotta give props - looks great!

[-] EHEC@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I still don't understand why people pour gravy or sauce over fried meat. Doesn't it get soggy?

[-] LaFinlandia@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

It like cereal, the longer it rests the mushier it gets.

[-] RinseDrizzle@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

Gotta chew fast while it's still got that cronch

[-] EeeDawg101@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

It sort of does but it’s not really crispness you’re going for in a chicken fried steak (or chicken). It’s just downright hearty and rich and so dang good. Have you had it before?

[-] hdnsmbt@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

it’s not really crispness you’re going for in a chicken fried steak (or chicken).

You stop your filthy lies right this instant.

[-] EHEC@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I haven't tried chicken fried steak yet. But when I make Schnitzel or Backhendl crispiness is key. Whether or not pouring sauce over fried meat is ok seems to be a regional issue here in the German-speaking parts of the world. There are Reddit and Lemmy communities collecting "crimes" against Schnitzel (r/schnitzelverbrechen).

[-] oSillyScope@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Chicken fried steak or chicken is just American schnitzel really.

[-] SoonerMagic@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Doesn’t get too mushy if you eat in a timely fashion. There’s also enough crispiness from the underside.

[-] SoonerMagic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No real recipe. I dry-brined some boneless breasts overnight. Then did a traditional flour, egg, flour dredge and fried in a pan with a little oil. I added some hot sauce to the egg and some spices to the last flour stage. Cheers!

[-] Kittiesmom13@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Thank you, it looks fabulous!

[-] PopcornPrincess@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Looks good homie.

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago
