Down Home Kitchen

It’s a slow day and I’m not in the mood to cook.  This morning I fixed a small bowl of cereal to curb my hunger pains.  It’s one of those mornings that I feel less than adequate.  So, maybe this bowl of cereal, will give my some strength to get to feeling better.

Hi Nita Watson,

Your recipe makes my mouth water… Like a kid in a donut shop… I’ve also made numerous attempts at turning out good fried chicken. I finally broke down and bought a deep fat fryer and really liked the outcome. I also coat my chicken then place it on a plate, cover it and stick it in the refrigerator for at least a half hour before I cook it. I find using a timer works best and I let it fry for 15 minutes… Done pieces go on a paper grocery sack (to soak up excess oil) and into a warm oven while the remaining pieces cook… Yum Yum…

Thanks for visiting http://freedomfromthepress.net and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I’ve enjoyed this…
