My grandmother lived up the road from us. The house had a breezeway off the living room that went to the kitchen. I guess it was to keep the house cooler in the summer? Anyway, my grandma, her mama and her sister lived in the house! It was like heaven to me! They made a lot of me and I'll never forget the love they showed me. I hope they would be proud of me today! I was so blessed to have them in walking distance!
It was this fried chicken that I made for my mom during her last years that really made her want to eat more, and so I was able to build her up a lot. Thank you Miss Brenda!
I’m lucky because my son & 2 grandsons live with me & im 85 & cook good food for us like Brenda cooks. I have all three of your cookbooks & love them & so does my family. Everything I have made from them is wonderful. I lost my husband 16 years ago next month & still miss him terribly. Love you Brenda & your words of faith.
💚💙💚 I fry chicken in bacon grease & that makes the BEST GRAVY. I fix mashed potatoes, green beans & shoe peg corn as a meal. You're right that chicken gravy is the BEST. Thanks for sharing this morning. (I know I post a lot of comments, guess I have a lot to say. Comes from being alone so much. It's bound to help your algorithm tho.)💙
Ms Brenda.. You remind me of the three ladies in my life I have lost who were the"cooks" in our family..Mama,Grams and Auntie. You cook as they did,talk as they did and love Jesus and family as they did. Thank you for being the wonderful you! Love you..🙏💛💛🙏
I could taste it! My mom used to make it but a little different. She would brown it with all the goodie in the skillet and then put it in the oven to finish cooking at a low temperature. It would be so tender. And the flavor! Very similar. I’m going to make it this weekend! 😊
MissBrenda U bring back so many memories at home qth My Mom&Dad! We called the goodies shuffling an we fought over them too!! Thank U for sharin Yr cookin&life wth us!! God bless U alwayz!! I just lvlvlvlvlvlvlv watchin Ya!! Hv a beautiful blessed Tuesday!! Love Ya!!❤
What you said about having real food and cooking it yourself is so true, especially for someone living alone. I had leftover chicken soup for lunch and added some rice. Made the soup several days ago with broth from stewing rotisserie chicken bones and skin and I stewed the chicken breast I used with those bones and cut it up later. Added onions, carrots, potatoes and thyme. Tasted great on this first day of fall and I have more left for tomorrow.
I just love listening to you. You remind me of my Mamaw Essie in Shreveport, Louisiana. She's been gone many years. She was a good ole Southern cook. She taught my Mama to cook the best fried chicken. You're a Southern treasure.
I ate the lesser of the chicken too, I wanted to make sure the family got the best piece. I actually love the back now! ❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰 This is how I learned to fry chicken. I had 3 children so I needed these kinds of meals. I had my supper on cooking and taking care of stuff as a busy momma will do.
Good lesson today on smothered fried chicken. Thank you my father in law when I married at 19 he said she’s real nice but she can’t cook chicken. Now I know better.,
This brought back memories My mother would fry chicken the same way. Loved the goodie. My siblings would fight over it Fried chicken was our Sunday dinner. I will be making it soon. Thank Brenda. I so enjoy watching you. I am from Pennsylvania .
There is a fake RUclips channel posting your videos, it’s called Cooking the Cottle House. I know it’s hard to eliminate these fake channels but I just wanted to let you know. I love watching your channel Mrs. Brenda, you got me through COVID. You are a One in a Million lovely people. You are the best. Take care and God Bless your sweet heart ❤
I love to watch you cook because it reminds me of being in the kitchen with my Grandma and all the things she taught me to do... like cut up a whole chicken and smother fry chicken and some fried potatoes with onions, have biscuits and gravy and some ripe tomatoes. Even in the winter time, she might open a jar or can of peeled tomatoes. Mmmm mmmm, GOOD!
Yes, smother fried chicken😋😋 I'm cooking soup beans{I mixed pintos and cranberry beans}with streak of lean bacon,cornbread,a pan of turkey and gravy,mashed potatoes,on the side fresh sliced tomato from a real garden,sliced red onion,some of my cooked apples {from a farmers tree in Mt.Vernon,Ky} ,feeding me and 4 more today. Smelling good here,too. Can't wait to eat!!! Y'all come!!😉Wish you could!!😍
My aunt taught me to fry chicken just like this and I never knew it was called smothered chicken. It was always a winner! And I want piece of that goodie!!
I have never made fried chicken. Looks delicious. I have always baked my chicken. I was always afraid of chicken not being cooked enough. Now you showed me that cooking it slow is the secret. Thanks
I love visiting with you so very much! You are that touch of my childhood country home that I crave so much! It's a shame everybody couldn't grow up in the small town country of the south! But if they did, it wouldn't be the small town country, now would it!! Well I'll just feel sorry for them, okay?
Hey Miss Brenda, the goodie is where its at! And whatever you decide to make with the rest of that chicken, I know it will be good. I like your style.❤❤ God bless y'all
Love you too. You are always a bright spot in my day when I can watch one of your videos. I’m going to give “smother fried a try”. Usually oven fry. I don’t have room for my chicken fryer on my counter in this kitchen we have now, but it’s just my husband and I now, so I could do smaller amount on the stove. Thank you. ❤
Just want t0 say I join you making cabbage casserole so glad I did can't wait to make it I love cabbage I enjoy watching you and listening to your kitchen conversation
♥️This looks so delicious. Reminds me of growing up with my grandmother and my mom. They both really loved to cook. In fact, my mom had her own restaurant for over 30 years. This is one of her dishes that she served in her place….sending hugs, love, prayers and kindness with the daily dose of encouragement with positive thoughts. Thank you, Brenda. You are a blessing.🙏🏼♥️🇺🇸🌹👍🏼
That looks very tasty!! I'm making Hungarian chicken in my slow cooker, I skin the chicken legs and thighs and add to it diced tomatoes, bell peppers, onions and garlic, spices paprika, garlic powder and onion powder, salt and pepper and after the chicken is tender, about 3 or 4 hrs, serve it over rice, with a spoon of sour cream on top. 😊👍 God bless you and everyone here in Jesus mighty name Amen and Amen ❤️🙏❤️🕊️✝️ Suzy
I WILL cook myself this fried chiicken Ms Brenda. I love the simple prep of the tomato and haven't done that before. I'll fix a plate just like yours. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Prayers for all those in Birmingham. My condolences to the families of those who were killed, as well, prayers for a speedy recovery for the individuals who were injured
I love this woman. She has the sweetest spirit about her 🥰
Hahaha! I was just going to comment, when I saw yours. I was going to say
"Your so cute Brenda, we love you. Bless your heart"
She is pure sunshine
Not really

Oh my goodness, you were very blessed!! I bet you had a lot of fun and memories with them!
It was this fried chicken that I made for my mom during her last years that really made her want to eat more, and so I was able to build her up a lot. Thank you Miss Brenda!
I’ve always been fond of both . Sounds really good!! Have a GREAT day 😊
My grandmother lived till 101. After Grandpa died, she continued to fix little good meals for herself. I think that is why she lived so long.
There is blood coming out of. I enjoy watching you cook.,What am I doing wrong with my chicken,when I’m frying it? Please help.
I love to watch your videos. What a joy you are!
Hello Laurie
How are you doing?
Thank you for continuing to encourage me to make a good meal for myself. I struggle with cooking since my husband passed. Enjoy your meal.
My grandma was the same way! Large family to feed and she ate the back & neck❤ Thank you for always bringing back memories and Joy❤
The back and neck are the best pieces!
Oh this looks sooo good,my mouth is watering. I sure wish we were neighbors. :)
I’m lucky because my son & 2 grandsons live with me & im 85 & cook good food for us like Brenda cooks. I have all three of your cookbooks & love them & so does my family.

Hello Karen
How are you doing today?
Our mother taught us to cover a pot that you're bringing to a boil. It cuts the cooking time in half and saves energy.
That's a big chicken

What a sweetheart. Reminds me so much of my mother. We ate every bit of that chicken. I can remember fighting over the heart.
Liver and heart were always my favorites. Not the gizzard. That was my Daddy's!😀😃

I love Southern fried chicken, Brenda.
The ONLY thing I would add to your PERFECT technique, Brenda, is to replace the olive oil with Bacon Drippings, LARD, or COCONUT oil. Yummers!!!
You tell her
My mama born in 1900 , used to fry her chicken like this. So yummy
You made the biscuits, so your grandkids gonna love whatever you mix up.
