Mixed and Melding to be Cooked

My Mother did not soak or brine her chicken, but then again her sister raised the chickens on her farm. She used an egg and milk wash, then seasoned her flour with salt, red pepper and black pepper and coated the chicken in a paper bag. My Dad did not like a lot of seasoning. She slowly fried the chicken in a cast iron skillet, turning when needed. She partially covered the skillet with a lid about half way during the cooking. She used original Crisco and sometimes added a little bacon grease. The oil/grease covered the chicken half way. She scooped out the cracklins and stored the skillet in the oven to be used again. She used some of the cracklins and oil, added flour and milk and made her gravy. My wife cooked the same way, except she used garlic powder, and sometimes added a little Lawry's seasoned salt. My wife and I bought and ate KFC gizzards and livers until they quit selling them. They always appeared much more salted than their other chicken. A KFC cook told me that they made them softer by wrapping them in aluminum foil after cooking them.

Used two different Garlic Powders

Granular and Powder Garlic


it will increase the Aroma also

KFC mix is only white pepper, black pepper, msg and salt.

was when the NEW AGE was Mixing a High Percentage of Powdered Peppers NOT extracts and the Mix used over 50% of the Seasoning Mix as Black White Peppers and Red Pepper

Look Back at that TIME Era when the Comment was Made and research What issue there was with Peppercorns and what was Imported into the USA.

Red Peppercorns are rare as Unicorns on the Retail market 2024 and many think Pink Peppercorns are Red Peppercorn NOT True

But in the Time period that that comment surfaced Red Peppercorns were still common and available

Perhaps we should bring in an English Prof to edit tea leaves? 😂
