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.
