Memory Lane Fried Chicken
It is a proven fact; my mom makes the very best fried
chicken!
Mom would make fried chicken on a Saturday as a special lunch time
treat for my Dad and all 5 of us kids.
Mom would always squeeze lemon juice over the chicken and it would be so
fresh and juicy! She would pair the chicken with homemade mashed potatoes (made
in the pressure cooker of course! “Tree minootes, den finish!”)
I used his recipe
I tweaked it a bit, substituting chili powder for the
cayenne powder and I did not use coriander seeds for the brine. I used a large bag of thigh and drumsticks and added some fresh lemon juice for old time's sake. For the brine, I did not boil the water
before hand as I was in a hurry to head out in the morning. The end result was
pleasing, my husband and kids really enjoyed the chicken!
