Wow, fancy. fried chicken is so out of vogue these days. i love fried chicken but never see it on menus in these parts. i guess it's the fat they don't like. put a piece of fried chicken in front of anybody though, and it's gone in a flash. i wonder how this would be on a charcoal grill? 5!


Sounds wonderful and full of flavor. Great recipe - thanks!


I love this recipe! I will make this for my boyfriend tonight.
