I'm only 11 but my grandma is teaching me and my 3 brothers to cook and bake. I have been with my gramma since I was 6 months old. My dad is a drug addicts and lives with his mom stealing everything from her. My mom is in prison and has 3 or 4 more years. So this is why I am learning to cook and bake. My gramma says that I will never starve if I can cook. I want to be a doctor but I have chronic ADHD so I might end up being a master chef (that's what gramma called you) just like you. She said when a person can cook and bake just by smell, taste, and hearing that is when he/she has mastered whatever it is they are baking or cooking. My gramma can tell when her walnuts are toasted by smell, or when her cookies are done, or when her pie dough is ready for cold water, gramma says it's in the touch; and, you have the touch. Thank you and GOD BLESS you and your family. I subscribed to your channel; gramma says you're a keeper!
Jesus the cool what a beautiful compliment from a precious child. You are going to be the best in whatever you desire to become. Stay bless and believe in yourself. You are loved.
Jesus the cool I am truly sadden that I just saw this message 3 months later. You are so Blessed to have a grandmother that is teaching you the right way to do things. God will always have you and your siblings in His care. I can tell your grandmother is an Awesome Person. Listen to all she tells you and help her in all that she does for y’all. You are so articulate. I know she is so proud of you. I will be praying for your Family and if you are ever in Virginia I would love to meet y’all. God Bless you always.
Jesus the cool, the Lord is looking out for you right now! I pray that you and your family will do everything that you want to do in life being guided by the Holy Spirit and your grandmother. I pray that you be successful in everything you attempt. I thank God for your grandmother that's teaching you. Listen to her baby and have the very best life you can have. I really wish I knew how to contact you but for certain I will be praying for you everyday, you and your siblings and your grandmother and your parents. I can tell from the wonderful way that you've expressed yourself that you are a very intelligent and lovable person and I pray that you succeed in everything!! God bless you sweetheart
@@chriscook4u2 God bless you Chris. Look how He's using you to touch lives. What a blessing. Your wonderful spirit is what first attracted me to your channel. Cook on my sister! God bless you!
Jesus the cool.. Sweetheart, your gran is teaching you to be self-reliant and independent. My parents had to work, so, I learned how to cook at 11 yrs. old, too. By the time I was 15, I could cook a Thanksgiving dinner by myself. I watched my aunts, grandmother and my mom when she was off from work. God Bless you. I know you will do well, dear child. You are NOT defined on where you start in this world, it's where you finish. And sometimes roses can come from weeds. So take care, dear 🌹 rose.
Miss Chris, I found your U-Tube video's by accident, but I'm glad I did. I like the way you explain your recipes, they sound so simple and clear. I do a lot of cooking and I am always looking for better tips as well as different recipes. I can hardly wait to try your BBQ sauce, on my baby back ribs. Also I plan on trying all your recipes -. Good old Southern cooking.
Miss Chris, I fry chicken like my Mama,Grandma,and you!! Your videos bring me to a place of peace and nearness to them. Both are with Jesus now but you cook so good and talk like Mama. Used to call her all the time asking how to cook something when I moved to Chicago after graduation from college. God bless you,you are a treasure.
I have had a little bit of a revival of my grandmothers and all the good memories of days in the kitchen with them. How I do miss them so ! But I know that they are with me and thank you and God bless you, keep up the good work
Thank you so much for your attention to details, Chris! I'm 69 years old and stopped trying to fry chicken in my 20"s since it was a waste of time and money and extremely dangerous with all the popping and splattering. With your detailed instructions ("listen for that rain") I finally delivered southern fried chicken as tasty as my mama used to make. My husband was floored! Better than anything we can buy locally, better than most any place I've ever been. You are the best teacher ever to patiently lead this "old school cook" to make fried chicken as good as mama's. Thank you!
Newton Edlin This makes all the time it took for me to do this video worth it. This was the hardest one I have on TH-cam. But hearing that one person was Blessed by it really motivates me to continue. I never knew so many have struggles with frying chicken. I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know this video helped. Thank you so much.
One chicken was hard work. Can't imagine doing 3 at a time! Reading through the comments below you are touching a lot of lives and a lot of hearts, Ms Chris!
This gives me hope...I too,. stopped trying to fry chicken in my 20's,,instead going to mommas every Sunday for my fried chicken fix...Shes passed now and its been years since ive had some good homemade fried chicken! Colonel Sanders is my go to...or shake and bake...but I AM going to try this.,.My Boyfriend has learned that that is my one kitchen failure and he doesn't ask for it anymore...hoping I can surprise him and myself!
Chris you are the best I was at the stove with you hearing my mother telling me listen for the sound of the rain that when you are frying with the right temperature. Great lesson.Thanks for sharing your cooking expertise.
The buttermilk makes it so tender and juicy my auntie taught me this over 40 yrs ago. I also use it to cook my homemade French fries they come out nice and crispy never soggy. I'm really enjoying watching your videos too I love to cook my husband is always bragging about how good my cooking is but you can always learn from others, thank you so much for sharing.
Oh my Lord, does this take me back. I remember being in the kitchen with my mother (from the deep south) on Saturday, helping her cook for Sunday dinner. After church she would put on her house coat, go in the kitchen and heat up the food while humming gospel hymns. She would fry her chicken in a cast iron skillet using lard or Crisco. Just before the chicken turned golden brown she would add butter. This was before butter flavored Crisco came out. Like you she cooked her chicken by sound as well. Love your channel.
@@happycook6737 Well... it all depended on how full the skillet was. But, I'd say just enough she reckon would give it flavor. She wasn't much on measuring hahaha!
You know how to fry chicken, I fry a mean piece of chicken and I always tell people you fry chicken by sound I flip once when I can not hear my grease sizzling loudly and rapid, I know she is done crispy, golden, not greasy, and oh so good!!!! Respect to a real cook!!! Peace and Blessings, and Continued Success!!!
Chris yes Ma'am you can cook!!! My mom calls that burnt flour "drugs", because it messes up a good batch of chicken, pork chops whatever you might be frying!!! Kudos for a great instructional video!!! We know whose house everyone comes to to eat dinner!!!Lawd all you need is a good old piece of light bread in the words of my late grandfather!!! I throughly enjoyed this video!!! And I am the family chicken fryer!!!! Blessings to you and your family!!!
The buttermilk marinade is exactly what my grandma used to do, and since I ALWAYS was in the kitchen watching her, it's how I do my chicken to this day and I am now the grandma!! And we use lard or Crisco, whichever one we have in the house. I want to thank you for your time and effort in making and posting this lovely video, it brought back so many delightful memories!! The grandbabies came in while I was watching and asked me why was I sad, lol it was tears of joy!
Ms. Chris! Thank you for the analogy of “light rain!” In the past, my chicken had several dark burn spots regarding the flour. Your instructions are perfect, and my fried chicken now comes out beautiful and delicious! Thank you so much! ❤🙏🏾
I followed your directions to the letter and I must tell you the chicken was delicious. I even cooked up some tenders for my grandson and he loved them. Thank you for sharing Chris!!! You're the greatest!
I have a hard hard head. Now I've had people to tell me not to constantly turn my chicken. And I was doing it like that for awhile, but I'd always go back to that habit of flipping it over and over. But this time I didn't, and I tell you I made the best fried chicken. So thanks for showing me to wait, and that it's ok to let it cook on one side and then the other.
Buttermilk fried chicken is the bomb just like buttermilk cornbread is thee best. My grandmother and my great grandmother always kept buttermilk in their house for cooking with, drinking or using it as one their favorite snacks which was a cold glass of buttermilk with cornbread smashed in it... they loved it!!! That’s why I enjoy watching you Ms. Chris you cook like the cooks in my family ( My Mother who used Lipton onion soup mix on almost everything she cooked, My Grandmother and My great Grandmother!.
Oh, thank you, thank you, Ms Chris, never learned to make fried chicken b4. Thanks for being so detailed for beginners. My grandma would be cooking, I was outside playing. Im 52 yrs and never made fried chicken right. Gonna try this. Chicken looks pretty n delicious too. Learned a lot. Cant wait to try this way. You are a blessing and I'm subscribing cuz ur detailed.
What a beautiful trip down memory lane! I could almost feel the souls of my mother and grandmother as you cooked! Thank you for sharing such a thorough explanation of the how and why.of fried chicken. Love all of your recipes. A true reflection of our history and culture. Blessings to you and yours this holiday season.
I have been following you for a year, and I have learned so much I can cook but some of the techniques you add have taken me to a different level. I told my co-workers about you and they have thanked me for introducing you to them. Happy
Have Mercy...this lady can evermore cook Chicken. ALL three batches looked FANTASTIC! I love the expression "A medium Rain" That made it Crystal clear for me. I've been cooking MY chicken TOO hot and its dark on the outside and Bloddy on the inside! So 350 and 25 minutes for me from now on. I believe I'd eat a tire IF Ms Chris Battered and Fried it. Seriously, GREAT video. Thank you!!!!
Thank you Ms Chris for being our mother and teaching us the the old ways of cooking! You are truly passing on some really valuable knowledge and we won't forget it. God bless you!
Miss Chris, you are a very good teacher. I am Canadian and I am a foodie. No one has ever taught me how to fry chicken properly. I love fried chicken. I also love the way you go step by step in the cooking process, take time to take us through the small steps even by describing the sound of the hot oil as the sound of medium rain falling. You use all of the senses: touch, smell, sight and hearing to explain how to cook fried chicken. Thank you so much. I'll be looking forward to other recipesl You are a hidden treasure. À bientôt, si DIeu le veut. Geneviève
Can you do a video on how you season your cast iron pans/pots, wash them, and how often you season them. Also, how long have you had your cast iron pots. (new cast iron owner myself).
Ms. Chris you are so awesome and Lord I wish I could have been there. I was just telling my husband how I have never been able to cook chicken UNTIL NOW. I bet you my chicken is going to be the bomb now after watching your video. THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS as I have struggled for years making chicken in a skillet. I hate when the skin stays on the bottom of the skillet. Your's looks DEEEEELICIOUS!!
I’m frying chicken for the first time. Thank you for explaining everything so clearly. My chicken turned out so well by following your instructions. Happy family!
GREAT DAY IN THE MORNING! This chicken is ready for Sunday dinner! I agree with you about the buttermilk chicken. It is simply delicious! Thank you so much for teaching and sharing with us🙂
THANK YOU!!!! I made the fried chicken with buttermilk for dinner yesterday and it was great. I have been trying for years to make good friend chicken and finally, finally, I made some chicken that I liked. I stumbled across your site last year looking for caramel frosting recipe and you are a go-to now for recipes now. Your teaching is clear, concise with tips like the grease should sound like rain that let you know you are on the right track. I can't thank you enough. For someone who didn't learn how to cook until adulthood, your channel is a lifesaver.
You are so detailed in every step of the way, and I really appreciate that! I’m no longer intimidated by frying chicken, gonna give that buttermilk chicken a try! Thank you!
Momma Chris, I absolutely enjoy watching your video's and I truly appreciate the extra time that you spend explaining why you do what you do, it is so appreciated by me and hopefully your viewing audience! You truly have schooled me in ways that are new to me and I want to say thank you! Your children and grandchildren are extremely blessed to have the liberty of gleaning under such a great Master Chef!!! I would love to have the opportunity to spend time with you learning the do's and don'ts of cooking all of your great recipe's that you give to the world for free, I consider what you do a gift to me and an honor!!! May God continue to enrich your cooking skills that you so graciously give to other's so freely. Thank you, #mommachris
This was absolutely fantastic. An excellent explanation of exactly what to look and listen for. I would hug this woman if she lived near me, saved the day with this informative video. Much respect, thank you kindly, madame.
I have just recently started watching your videos. I love the way you explain your meals I also have a passion for cooking. Im going to order some of your books. My name is Jimmy I from Texas and you really know how to bring it home you are great I made your recipe for the smothered steaks. I did not change anything it was really tasty. My mom is a really good cook herself she is well over 80 she loves your cooking and the way you explain your cooking techniques. There are so many people out there that don't know what they are doing. We really think your great I tell everyone about you. Jimmy from Houston Texas
hey ms chris i sim;ply love the way you cook. im from alabama, and the only grandma left in my family, and i use your channel to remind how my mom and grandma used to cook since the both died at an early age so god bless you and can i adopt you? lol i know i'm a little white girl, but that don't matter to me..god loves us all and so do i... wish you was mine hugs
Hi Chris, that chicken looks wonderful. I've always been afraid to fry chicken as I'm worried it won't cook on the inside properly. This video helps a lot. Thank you
HI,chris,I just found your video for the first time and I love your cooking, i worked at Down South rusturant in Memphis ,we had Avery good crew like you.I love cooking for family and neighbors.keep the good work up and God bless😇
Thank you .... your so great, by the way i almost watched all your videos they are great , i live in jordan and your channel is one of my favorites. Thank you again and happy Easter.
I really enjoy listening to you teach us how to make fried chicken! When I try doing it, it somehow just doesn't seem to come out right, and that is discouraging. I wish that I had you at my home to show me better. Again, thank for the way you teach! You are very nice, confident, accommodating, and I know that you'll let me have a piece of that good ol' fried chicken!!
All that's going on in the world today....I came to TH-cam to watch your videos. I needed some 'happy' and your videos are just that for me. I know you reside in VA, I'm praying for healing and for the world! Thank you for sharing your love with the world!
see this is why I love your channel I was wondering what the real difference was with the buttermilk chicken because I have been wanting to try it for so long and u definitely have made my mind up for me lol
Ms. Chris...great frying tips, ive learned so much watching this helpful video today..I'm now more confident when i attempt to marinate, season and fry some chicken again...thank you for sharing your gift of AWESOME cooking/baking with us...💜
Showing love ALL THE WAY from Long Island, NY!!! I've binge watched so many videos tonight, subscribed and found you on Instagram! Do your thang. Let me know when I can come through for dinner!
Hi Miss Chris, really appreciate you sharing your videos ,especially this one . I been cooking,frying and baking chicken for years and love learning more and receiving great methods and ideas from others ,thank you again .May you and your extra ordinary family have a great day / week ❤🙏
Love your videos and style of cooking. You take me back to my mother and grandmother's kitchen. May God continue to bless and keep you Ma'am!!! *Happy Subscriber*
New Subbie- I love your channel and thank you so much for sharing your talent. You know, many of the women who could throw down in the kitchen are no longer living to show me now. It's so wonderful to have women like you to continue to pass on a legacy. I been video bingeing on your shows to take it all in.
THANK YOU for this video and for so thoroughly explaining and demonstrating how to fry chicken! Im 53 years old , and can cook almost anything, but ive ALWAYS failed at frying chicken for some reason.. Its too brown, burnt, too soggy or greasy, the coating falls off or its not done inside etc....I just stopped trying and use shake and bake! LOL My BF has asked and asked ..even bought me a deep fryer so that I can make him fried chicken, but that attempt didn't turn out so well either, but at least it was edible. This makes me want to try again..Much better instructions from you than trying to read a recipe!....Im hoping I can make a reasonable fried chicken using your method~ I have a huge package of drumsticks in the freezer, could I try this just using those? Congrats on the newspaper article!! Im going to check to see if the Roanoke Times has your article in our Sunday paper!
Harmony Sunshine please try it again. If you do what I do you will get the same results I do. Don't cook it fast 12 to 13 minutes on both sides. Remember listen for the rain sound. No high heat. I would love to know the numbers on your range. I can tell you just about what to set it on. Remember legs will take a little longer. You can do this I really do believe that. Send me feedback. I would also love to know if the article was in your Sunday paper to.
i will def try it! and ill let you know! I have a nice cast iron skillet and the knobs on my rangetop just have simmer, low,, med, high, and marks in between.'
Harmony Sunshine Yes I could have used a deep fryer. I do own one. But how would I explain the process to people that have problems with certain parts of frying or people who don't have deep fryers. I want people who watch my channel to understand and learn some things they did not know. I don't know everything about cooking but the knowledge that I do have if it can help someone even if it takes me longer to do something I could finish quicker. I will take the slow road, lol. 😁 Thanks for commenting.
Ms. Chris: The slow road is the lovely road to heavenly food. And listening to you gives me confidence to try to make some of the dishes you prepare. Thank you :-) I didn't know that about legs taking longer to cook also I use to try and use gooey batter to fry with and then the batter would break off (so frustrating!)...so I will try to marinade and then dredge in flour next time I try to fry.
Hi Chris, I'm embarrassed to admit I never knew why people soaked chicken in milk. Tried it for the first time and that chicken almost melted in my mouth. I've learned so much from your videos for example my black-eyed peas are off the chain...thanks to you I know how to remove the rotten ones and cook them. Your videos definitely gives that "back at home feeling" for real. Thanks for what you do. Evelyn
Thanks Chris. This looks sooooo good! I can't wait to make the buttermilk variety. I know buttermilk makes pancakes and biscuits even better so I'm guessing it's also true with chicken.
Thank you so much Ms. Chris, I’ve been afraid to make fried chicken since I was a teen, trying to make a Sunday dinner. It was a disaster my chicken was bleeding and I was so embarrassed 😂 Happy New Year!!!🥳
Thank you @chriscook4u2 I see instantly what my problem was. "Hearing that sound" let's me know my fire was too high. Dark on the outside not all the way cooked on the inside. I never pan fry b/c of that reason. I can't wait to try your method. Thank you.
I really learned a lot about differences, why, how and the sound to listen for. Very informative. I just subscribed. I wish I had you as a family member to pass all your cooking goodness down. I suppose TH-cam would be the next best 😋 I listened to every word. Thank you!
Ok listen when I tell you…. I’ve tried MANY times to make fried chicken! It’s my FAVORITE!!! It either was NEVER done or not done with breading falling off. I decided to give your technique a try….. OMG I FINALLY did it! You walked us through thoroughly, and holy smokes I DID IT!!! I honestly feel like doing the cabbage patch dance! I can’t thank you enough!!!!!!!
Thank you Miss Chris 😊❤️!!! You have taught/helped me soo very much!!! Your recipes are amazing!!! You truly are an amazing cook!!! You need your own show!!! Thank you so much and God bless you and your family! 🤗
All of your videos provide so much great cooking details and tips! I have loved everyone I have tried. God 🙏 you! Happy holidays to you and your family. ❤️

Those Lil Dark Pieces Of Flour Left In The Pan Is Some Good Brown Gravy Though !! That's The Southern Way Of Making Brown Gravy !! Looks Good !!
Arnette Johnson You are going to make yourself hungry for chicken so early in the morning, lol.😀
You are absolutely correct. Those little pcs of flour are the total package for brown chicken gravy; the bomb 4 real! 👍

I've been cooking MY chicken TOO hot and its dark on the outside and Bloddy on the inside! So 350 and 25 minutes for me from now on. I believe I'd eat a tire IF Ms Chris Battered and Fried it. Seriously, GREAT video. Thank you!!!!
I just love you Mrs.Chris! Thanks again for such beautiful recipes, that's cooked and shared with love.
Thank you Ms Chris for being our mother and teaching us the the old ways of cooking! You are truly passing on some really valuable knowledge and we won't forget it. God bless you!
I've watched a lot of "how to fry chicken" videos, and I think this lady makes the best videos of all. She's amazing!
I followed your seafood gumbo recipe and it was awesome! Buttermilk chicken is next in line!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😄
Miss Chris, you are a very good teacher. I am Canadian and I am a foodie. No one has ever taught me how to fry chicken properly. I love fried chicken. I also love the way you go step by step in the cooking process, take time to take us through the small steps even by describing the sound of the hot oil as the sound of medium rain falling. You use all of the senses: touch, smell, sight and hearing to explain how to cook fried chicken. Thank you so much. I'll be looking forward to other recipesl You are a hidden treasure. À bientôt, si DIeu le veut. Geneviève
Can you do a video on how you season your cast iron pans/pots, wash them, and how often you season them. Also, how long have you had your cast iron pots. (new cast iron owner myself).
Beautiful explanation and detail. Wish I could cook with you one day. Keep up the good work.
Ms. Chris you are so awesome and Lord I wish I could have been there. I was just telling my husband how I have never been able to cook chicken UNTIL NOW. I bet you my chicken is going to be the bomb now after watching your video. THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS as I have struggled for years making chicken in a skillet. I hate when the skin stays on the bottom of the skillet. Your's looks DEEEEELICIOUS!!
I’m frying chicken for the first time. Thank you for explaining everything so clearly. My chicken turned out so well by following your instructions. Happy family!
Girl you just took my cooking skills to another level.. My husband is going to really love me..
Reba Bend I know , I am trying to prepare myself for my future husband 😉
GREAT DAY IN THE MORNING! This chicken is ready for Sunday dinner! I agree with you about the buttermilk chicken. It is simply delicious! Thank you so much for teaching and sharing with us🙂
Katie Donner: My grandmother used to say that, "GREAT DAY IN THE MORNING". Hahahahahaha, you made me SMILE.
Jada Parks Yes my family says that too. I got my son saying it too. He thinks it's the funniest thing in the world 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
THANK YOU!!!! I made the fried chicken with buttermilk for dinner yesterday and it was great. I have been trying for years to make good friend chicken and finally, finally, I made some chicken that I liked. I stumbled across your site last year looking for caramel frosting recipe and you are a go-to now for recipes now. Your teaching is clear, concise with tips like the grease should sound like rain that let you know you are on the right track. I can't thank you enough. For someone who didn't learn how to cook until adulthood, your channel is a lifesaver.
Thank you Chris. Love your videos. You cook with love, so I know you're food is going to be good!
You are so detailed in every step of the way, and I really appreciate that! I’m no longer intimidated by frying chicken, gonna give that buttermilk chicken a try! Thank you!
You inspire me to be a even better cook. Thanks for sharing.
I love all your videos! I just learned how to fry good chicken this year after watching! Thanks ❤️❤️

Yes, Ms. Chris that buttermilk is FANTASTIC!!! Nothing like it.
OMG! This took me back to my parents, grandmas, and aunts with how they cooked chicken back in the day.
Hello Chris again thanks for your tutorial on frying chicken I have learned so much,now ready to get started.

I’ve learned so much from you. Your a great cook and I love the detail
Ms. Chris. thank you for my all time favorite video of Fried Chicken.
Found out what I was doing wrong. Oil was too hot and I needed to stop cooking on burnt flour. I'm watching your channel from now on. Thank you ma'am.
I have a thermometer, how many degrees do I want the oil to be to cook the chicken? Watching this video I WANT SOME FRIED CHICKEN NOW !!!
You can make buttermilk with vinegar and regular milk xo love the brown bag method. Works on whole turkey too xo
This is the best video ever about how to fry the chicken! Thank you.
New Subbie- I love your channel and thank you so much for sharing your talent. You know, many of the women who could throw down in the kitchen are no longer living to show me now. It's so wonderful to have women like you to continue to pass on a legacy. I been video bingeing on your shows to take it all in.
Miss Chris I love your channel keep up the great recipes they are appreciated !
I love your channel reminds me of mama cooking
God Bless You Ms.Chris in All that you Do. You Affect Ppl Everyday. I Thank God for You in All your Teachings 🙋🏿♀️

THANK YOU for this video and for so thoroughly explaining and demonstrating how to fry chicken! Im 53 years old , and can cook almost anything, but ive ALWAYS failed at frying chicken for some reason.. Its too brown, burnt, too soggy or greasy, the coating falls off or its not done inside etc....I just stopped trying and use shake and bake! LOL My BF has asked and asked ..even bought me a deep fryer so that I can make him fried chicken, but that attempt didn't turn out so well either, but at least it was edible. This makes me want to try again..Much better instructions from you than trying to read a recipe!....Im hoping I can make a reasonable fried chicken using your method~ I have a huge package of drumsticks in the freezer, could I try this just using those? Congrats on the newspaper article!! Im going to check to see if the Roanoke Times has your article in our Sunday paper!
Harmony Sunshine please try it again. If you do what I do you will get the same results I do. Don't cook it fast 12 to 13 minutes on both sides. Remember listen for the rain sound. No high heat. I would love to know the numbers on your range. I can tell you just about what to set it on. Remember legs will take a little longer. You can do this I really do believe that. Send me feedback. I would also love to know if the article was in your Sunday paper to.
i will def try it! and ill let you know! I have a nice cast iron skillet and the knobs on my rangetop just have simmer, low,, med, high, and marks in between.'
Harmony Sunshine Yes I could have used a deep fryer. I do own one. But how would I explain the process to people that have problems with certain parts of frying or people who don't have deep fryers. I want people who watch my channel to understand and learn some things they did not know. I don't know everything about cooking but the knowledge that I do have if it can help someone even if it takes me longer to do something I could finish quicker. I will take the slow road, lol. 😁
Thanks for commenting.
Ms. Chris: The slow road is the lovely road to heavenly food. And listening to you gives me confidence to try to make some of the dishes you prepare. Thank you :-) I didn't know that about legs taking longer to cook also I use to try and use gooey batter to fry with and then the batter would break off (so frustrating!)...so I will try to marinade and then dredge in flour next time I try to fry.
That looks awesome! My mouth is watering 😊
Wow so informative...I didn't know about the flour burning! You are so through! Thank you!
Thank You! This video solved my chicken cooking problem.I often wondered why my last batches were darker.Bless You MRS Chris
I love the way you explain your cooking tips
I love fried chicken. I'm going to try your method. Thank you for creating this video. I know it was a lot of work!
Brande Arno Yes it was more work then any I have posted.

Hi Chris, I'm embarrassed to admit I never knew why people soaked chicken in milk. Tried it for the first time and that chicken almost melted in my mouth. I've learned so much from your videos for example my black-eyed peas are off the chain...thanks to you I know how to remove the rotten ones and cook them. Your videos definitely gives that "back at home feeling" for real. Thanks for what you do. Evelyn
Thanks Chris. This looks sooooo good! I can't wait to make the buttermilk variety. I know buttermilk makes pancakes and biscuits even better so I'm guessing it's also true with chicken.
Thank you so much Ms. Chris, I’ve been afraid to make fried chicken since I was a teen, trying to make a Sunday dinner. It was a disaster my chicken was bleeding and I was so embarrassed 😂 Happy New Year!!!🥳
Ms. Chris' I love love every thing that you make. I am going try the buttermilk Chechen for my Bible Study. God bless your cooking gift.
Looks delicious! Thanks for sharing all the extra details and tips.
Thank you @chriscook4u2 I see instantly what my problem was. "Hearing that sound" let's me know my fire was too high. Dark on the outside not all the way cooked on the inside. I never pan fry b/c of that reason. I can't wait to try your method. Thank you.
I really learned a lot about differences, why, how and the sound to listen for. Very informative. I just subscribed. I wish I had you as a family member to pass all your cooking goodness down. I suppose TH-cam would be the next best 😋 I listened to every word. Thank you!
Chris, you definitely need a food truck going around your city on a daily basis. Old school soul food.....righteous!
Ms.Chris you know you can work that kitchen that chicken look so good.
Ok listen when I tell you…. I’ve tried MANY times to make fried chicken! It’s my FAVORITE!!! It either was NEVER done or not done with breading falling off. I decided to give your technique a try….. OMG I FINALLY did it! You walked us through thoroughly, and holy smokes I DID IT!!! I honestly feel like doing the cabbage patch dance! I can’t thank you enough!!!!!!!
You are poetry in motion. Amazing to watch you cook, lol!
That is some pretty fried chicken! Iam gonna try marinating my chicken in buttermilk. Great tutorial!
That Chicken looks beautifully Golden and super crunchy. Love it.
Thank you Miss Chris 😊❤️!!! You have taught/helped me soo very much!!! Your recipes are amazing!!! You truly are an amazing cook!!! You need your own show!!! Thank you so much and God bless you and your family! 🤗
All of your videos provide so much great cooking details and tips! I have loved everyone I have tried.
