About Fried Chicken
Few dishes carry as much comfort as a platter of fried chicken pulled fresh from a cast-iron skillet, the crust audibly crackling, the steam rising slow and golden. The secret usually lives in the soak: buttermilk tenderizes overnight, pulling seasoning deep into every drumstick and thigh. Come Sunday, the smell of paprika and pepper blooming in hot lard was enough to draw the whole family to the kitchen before the table was even set.
