Fried Chicken Update

The fried chicken was AMAZING!  We made 6 pounds of chicken thighs.  Our preferred oil for frying chicken is canola oil.  It had the perfect crust - thick and extra crispy.  We didn't use any Xanthan Gum in our batter.  Trust us it made the batter much better than with the added Xanthan Gum.  It was much easier to handle.

Since we made 6 pounds of chicken, we had plenty for leftovers.  Today's lunch was cold fried chicken.  The only thing better than fried chicken is cold fried chicken.  We're already plotting uses for the remaining chicken.

For dinner the other night, we served the fried chicken with mashed potatoes, chicken gravy, and green beans.

Greetings from the South Y'all

Fried chicken in the South is a way of life.  It's more of a religious experience than church.  Okay, that might be an exaggeration, but you get the idea.  It's one of those things that most people miss when they go gluten-free.  When we pull up in front of our grocery store, we get assaulted by the aroma of Kentucky Fried Chicken.  Well, sometimes a girl just has to give into her cravings. Tonight's adventure in the land of gluten-free, homemade fried chicken.  We'll provide an update tomorrow on how delicious and amazing the chicken tasted.
