Notes: My grandmother always made this chicken when we visited
her
in the summer. She always told me it was her Grandmother's
recipe which I have to believe since my great aunt (who was
in
her nineties at the time) made the exact same recipe when we
visited her on her farm in Oklahoma. She of course, first
dispatched the chicken.
This is still the best fried chicken I've ever had and I make it
every July 4 since it seems like that's when Grandma made it
for
us.
