Favorite Fried Chicken

This classic fried chicken recipe uses simple ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. In the 1930s, a local grocery store opened in South Pittsburg, Tennessee. The mother of the family who owned the business would often cook meals in the rear of the store. Workmen from the area would have a break at 9 a.m. each day, and a plate of leftovers from the previous night’s dinner was always left out for the men to enjoy. Her fried chicken was such a favorite among them, that she always cooked extra just for them.
