This recipe came from my 1982 Southern Living cookbook (my bible, I’ve made a lot of recipes from it). It’s a lot easier just to go to KFC but every now and then I like home fried and usually serve this with mashed potatoes, cream gravy, and peas. You may remember your Dad getting on a lard kick this year. He decided that we’d be better off without all of the additives, etc. in modern cooking. I have done this in lard and quite honestly I think it tastes better. A tip for frying any coated meat – have your oil or lard pretty hot to start with, add the meat and let it crisp up on each side before turning the heat down. If the oil isn’t hot enough, your coating will fall off. 12/29/08
