Fried Chicken Recipes

Growing up in the south, I was introduced to fried chicken at an early age. All of my family would come over on Sunday afternoon to enjoy a feast that included fried chicken and various side items like okra, green beans, corn on the cob, sweet potatoes, and cornbread. Not only was the food delicious but the company was great as well!

Today, I wanted to share with you some history on fried chicken and also provide you with some really good fried chicken recipes. First, let’s discuss some of the history behind fried chicken…

“Fried chicken has a dual origin in the rural American South. The Scots had a tradition of deep frying chicken in fat, unlike their English counterparts who baked or boiled chicken. Later, as African slaves were introduced to households as cooks, seasonings and spices were added that are absent in traditional Scottish cuisine, improving the flavor. Since slaves were often allowed to keep only chickens, frying chicken as a special occasion spread through the African American community. After slavery, poor rural southern blacks continued the tradition since chickens were often the only animals they could afford to raise. Since fried chicken could keep for several days, it travelled well, and also gained favor during segregation when blacks normally could not find places to eat and had to carry their own food. Southern whites also continued the tradition of frying chicken. While not limited like blacks socially, poor whites were no better off economically. Therefore, fried chicken continued to dominate as “Sunday dinner” or on other special occasions.” Continue reading “Fried Chicken Recipes”

Different Methods on Keeping Chickens

Depending on the reason behind keeping the birds, the choice of birds will also determine the method of keeping them. People who keep chickens as pets may not need to take very elaborate grilling on the art of keeping chickens. Nonetheless, chickens are all the same in one aspect, thus the food they eat and problems that may affect them.

Free-range method

The free-range method means the hens are free to roam around in a secure area. This time old method has been practiced in several parts of the world with great success. Letting the hens roam around has great benefits to both the hens and the farmer.
