    "You've Been Making Fried Chicken Wrong This Whole Time" No I fucking haven't.

    Once you coat your chicken in the flour, it is wise to place the chicken on a drying rack and wait 15 to 20 minutes before you fry. This step is to ensure the flour adheres to the chicken so it doesn't fall off in the oil.

    My Grandma on my dad's side of the family made the best fried chicken. I am getting ready to turn 57. She used a wood burning stove and could control the heat better on it than Chefs today with their computer controlled ones. Always used an iron skillet. Best chicken ever.

    Does anyone here wash their chicken first before cooking it?

    Paprika and Turmeric are brilliant seasonings for the flour.
