  • In this video, I will show you my secret for making the best homemade fried chicken. My family wanted Church's Texas fried chicken, so I recreated the perfect copycat Church's Texas Chicken dinner.
    This easy dinner is not only delicious but a budget-friendly meal anyone can make! The chicken is perfectly fried, golden, and crispy with tender juicy meat. Let me show you the secrets to some of the best fried chicken I make at home! Today I am recreating Church's Texas Chicken for dinner. This chicken is even better than Church's Texas chicken and cheaper too!

    Church's chicken was good but I remember another chain in South Carolina called "Famous Recipe" and it was a Sunday afternoon "after church" kind of meal. We would grab a bucket on the way home from church and my grandmother would make bisquits and throw together a few side dishes to go along with it to feed the crowd that was my extended family. Aunts, uncles, cousins, and even a few neighbors. Good times long gone. Thanks for bringing back the memories of Church's because when we didn't want to drive across town for Famous Recipe we would stop by Church's and grab a box. Good stuff!

    We have a Church’s chicken literally down the street from us. And I love their chicken! It was my very first job when I was 16! I worked there for one summer. Learned a lot from preparing the chicken myself too, and your method is so on point! I’m definitely going to make it. Thank you for your recipe and how you thoroughly explained everything so well. Your voice is so soothing, and so understandable.
    Can’t wait to try it! Those pickled jalapeños are A Must too! ♥️😋🙌

    Your story reminds me a lot of my partner. He was married young and his ex struggled with substance abuse for years and missed many years of children's lives due to drugs. Thankfully she's in a better place now. Seeing you crying reminded me of my stepchildren's grandma who took the role of the mother until her daughter was okay to be around her children. Your daughter is beautiful and I hope she's in a better place now.

  • @jeffhatmaker817
    @jeffhatmaker817 Месяц назад +9

    Thanks for the video. Your biscuits looked good. I learned on RUclips to put the butter in the freezer for an hour to stiffen it up. Then I grate it into the flour with a course grater. It really helps to create a layered and flaky biscuit. I've never tried shortening.

    @misterv6772 20 дней назад

    @Simply Mama: you one of few that have spoken about seasoning your marinade. Many others suggest marinading the chicken in buttermilk only then seasoning the chicken itself as well as the flour and for me, im trying to learn from all of y'all, doing it that way burns off the flour and seasoning in my oil/cooking pan. I'll try your method though it looked fantastic 👍🏾

    I'm a sucker for fried chicken. I think the buttermilk brine is essential. One tip for those making this, I preheat the oven to about 250 - 300° - start with the biggest pieces, when they are done place on a sheet pan rack in the oven while you start the next batch. All the chicken is crispy and hot.
