Our newest favorite coating for pan or oven fried is instant mashed potatoes!! So easy and so good! Mix one egg with 2 tablespoons of milk and mix well. Use double the amount for a larger amount of meat. Dip in liquid, shake off then lay in seasoned mashed potatoes (they come that way usually) pat, turn over and pat in potatoes again. You could also put the potatoe flakes in a bag and shake with the meat.
This is especially delicious on fish. |

When my DH fries bacon I open windows and doors even if it is cold outside. I like to eat fried food - just can't handle the smell, so if we want it, it has to come from somewhere else.

I don't fry bacon...put in the microwave...just shy of a minute per slice....use one of those bacon things so dripping are below bacon..no mess....

You do not have to brine chicken to fry it. I was frying chicken at age 10 but don't do it much anymore. We washed it, dried it and then dipped it in flour, dipped it in an egg mixture and then back into the flour mixture before dropping it in hot oil or Crisco. We seasoned the flour with salt and pepper and paprika. Yummy.

I just rinse and pat dry the chicken pieces and fry them with no coating. It tastes so good, I don't need anyhting else on it. Next time one of you fries chicken, take a piece and fry it just as it is. You will be amazed. My family loves it this way and no extra calories or carbs.

I don't pan fried chicken anymore. I make oven fried chicken. Wash chicken under running water. Salt and Pepper it. Put some Bisquik in a plastic bag. Add chicken and shake. Place on foil lined baking sheet sprayed with butter favored Pam or any other baking spray. Then spray the top of the chicken w/ Pam. Bake in 450 degree oven until done. I usually turn it about half way through cooking. Less grease when oven fried.

I don't buy any meat or poultry from Walmart anymore...it was tasteless. Strange, but I love Sam's meat/poultry and I know it is the same company.

I always soak my chicken in salt water for about 15 min. before frying it...
