When I used to live my grandmother many, many years ago, I remember I soaked (brined) some dark meat chicken in salt and water for 24 hours and fried them in one of my grandma's cast iron skillet. I lightly seasoned the flour with garlic powder, salt, onion powder and pepper. That was the best fried chicken I ever made. No joke.
@@dextersmithbsee I was just thinking about my grandmother and how she used to cook almost everything from scratch and used veggies out the garden for all of her dishes. Man I sure do miss her soul food I can't seem to find anything like it these days.
Thank you! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Finally someone who cooks fried chicken the way my momma and grandparents used to. Back then, all they used was flour, salt and pepper, and lard. Best crispy fried chicken ever! Nothing today compares. But back then chicken was farm raised and tastes nothing like what they sell in grocery stores today.
GOT THAT RIGHT ! MY GRANDMOTHER, GREAT AUNT AND ONE OF MY AUNTIES LIVED IN REDDING, CA...TALK ABOUT SELF RELIANT WOMEN KNOWING HOW TO COOK? THEY GREW EVERYTHING AND THEIR COOKING WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD..I REMEMBER DURING THE SUMMER STAYING THERE WITH THEM, AND I LEARNED SO MUCH. MY GRANDMOTHER PASSED WHEN I WAS 13 AND I WAS DEVASTATED. WHEN I WASN'T THERE DURING THE SUMMER, I USED TO WRITE HER A LETTER ONCE A WEEK AND SHE ALWAYS WROTE BACK. I'M IN MY MID 60'S AND STILL MISS HER BEYOND WORDS . THREE PHENOMENAL WOMEN. LOVED AND MISS THEM SO MUCH. P.S. I KNOW ABOUT THE PAPER BAGS..MY AUNTS TAUGHT ME TO SHAKE THE CHICKEN IN THEM FOR FRYING. I STILL USE THEM TO THIS DAY, AND MY AUNTS ALSO USED TO USE THEM TO PUT THE CHICKEN ON AFTER FRYING TO SOAK UP THE GREASE AND THEN PUT THEM ON METAL TRAYS IN A LOW TEMP OVEN TO KEEP THE CHICKEN WARM. CHEF JEFFREY: DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT CHOW CHOW IS? AND CHESS PIE? I LEARNED HOW TO MAKE IT WHEN I WAS LITTLE. GOOD STUFF
@@valerieneal2747 You bring back beautiful memories of those wonderful Aunties and Grandmas. The way they use to prepare and cook that chicken. Bro Jeffrey, we sure appreciate you sharing this with us also. I can still picture Grammy putting that golden fried chicken on the table. A pan of baked sweet potatoes fresh out the stash always accompanied the meals. The wood stove had a built in warmer on top where the home Cured bacon was kept. The smells of hot Biscuits and sugar cane syrup makes you wonder why did we ever gave up growing our own food and raising our own livestock. We did not have or need freaking EBT.
The thing I love about about this channel is the chef always have a story to tell that range from educational to personal & it really makes you feel welcomed and appreciated! Anyway Looks good unkle chef Jeff I’ll be trying this tomorrow ..hope all is well give your brother a hello from me ❤
Yes I know about brown paper lunch bags put flour mixture in that old old time to keep chicken or fish very crisp learn that from my grandmother from down South it's best chicken or fish 🐟 ever eaten
Morning, afternoon and good evening, Chef Jeffrey!😄💕 I have a question for you! "How is It, That A Northern Woman Can Make Southern Fried Chicken Yet, She Has Never Been To The South?" Her mother was from Virginia! ....and she learned from her mother!😆 I make my chicken just like that. I clean it first, then I do a salt brine. From there, I season my flour that I am gonna coat my chicken pieces with, and then I fry them. No Eggs! I don't understand why people even bother with that. This video brought back many pleasant memories for me, thank you!😆 Man, you're something else!😏❤ Have a great one! Until next time...
Oh Chef, yes brining is the key to a flavorful fried chicken & the seasonings of course, the brown paper bag shake is a must for good coating too! YUM, YUM! Lunch is served!! Thanks for sharing Chef, you’re the best & have a GREAT day!!💕
Yes, Chef Jeffrey this my favorite fried chicken spot in Bellmead Tx..I didn't know you were a graduate of TSTC ,I also graduated from there in 2008. My degree was in a Environmental Health and Safety. thanks for the recipe Chef . blessings, blessings blessings Happy Worship Wonderful Wednesday.
Good morning Chef this is how my Grandma Ruby did her chicken all the time she would brine it with a cap full of vinegar and salt and cook it the next day in flour garlic powder salt and pepper and you would smell it all the way down the street this is an awesome recipe I definitely will be showing this recipe on my channel thank you for sharing you are absolutely an amazing chef excellent teacher and keep living your best life because you are absolutely a phenomenal man!! Awesome Recipe Fried chicken 🍗🍗🍗🍗 🍋
👍 I salt water brine my chicken and turkeys..I use peanut oil. Yes I strain and reuse my oil. Chef, you are full of knowledge. I'd sit watch my Great,and Grandmother's, I didn't say a word, with my eagle eyes I watched and learned, they taught my mom, I'd watch her too, if I had questions, I'd wait till they were done. Then ask questions. I season my flour, because the meat been soaking in that brine. Yes I know about those brown paper bags. Cooking don't have be complicated. Too many over season. I just enjoy watching you cook and teach. My Grand Dot in her 90s. I have aunt's, great aunt's who still have gardens, chickens, hogs, goats,even rabbits. They eat what they raise. I thank God everyday that they are still in my life,teaching me. Not just about cooking but herbs, that keep me healthy. I tell my friends 40 and under find a old school adult to teach you and pass it on. They didn't have a lot seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic, even onions to add flavor, don't leave out the apple cider vinegar. I believe that's why they live so long, keeping active, eating what they raise, or grow. Butter, lard is what they used. They worked too hard so they was not over weight. I love watching you, and I learn something each time. No matter how much you think you know, there's always someone who can show you new things, maybe a better way to cook. Chef, I appreciate you helping, teaching others old school ways.👍👏👏👏. Love, respect and positivity always.✌️🖖🕯️💕✨🙏🌻🦋🌠🫶🙂👋. Vee.🤗👣.
Chef Jeffrey yes I know about the brown paper bags. I still use them from time to time. And I'll use me a zip lock bag also. That's Old school. Just keep, keeping the good cooking coming. I love watching you cooking.
GM, GM, GM Chef.. I do my chicken like this, the soaking, but not 24 hrs all the time. The brown bag, my mother use to use that technique of dusting her chicken. Ole school memories.. That chicken looks delish. Pulling up 🚘now for my pieces of chicken. 🍗😂😂TYFS...Have a blessed day..❤
I bought that oil for the first time at Sam’s club bcuz I like trying new things when I cook and absolutely loved it ‼️however I wished they sold it in smaller bottles bcuz it was difficult to pour…wings look🔥🔥🔥
Made this recipe last night with the exact oil in my cast iron Red Pot and this was the prettiest chicken I have ever fried. It was salted perfectly, juicy and all of the seasonings worked. I fried the chicken on Med-High for 17 minutes. I will never go to Popeye's, KFC and others when you can make it even better at home. My fried chicken game is on point because of Master Chef Jeffrey. You are Amazing and very talented. Thank You. My husband ever started talking like you after eating this chicken. That's what we had for dinner chicken and hot sauce.
Putting my wings in the brine now so I can fry tomorrow. I usually buy peanut oil but I will get the clear oil to save some money 💰 Thanks for the tips Chef.
Chef Jeff.. You are just like me.. Up late and doing some good yummy cooking.. Love this video.. Your chicken came out yummy goodness.. Keep up the good work Chef.. The Rookie Chef always here.👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾.
Happy "Hump Day" my favorite Chef Jeffrey and everybody. Once again Chef, thanks for sharing these amazing ideas and tips on cooking. The best part is that you don't mind showing the different products you use. You're an amazing person as well as an awesome Chef. ❤ Great job Chef Jeffrey. Have a Blessed day.
Thanks for this recipe. My mamaw made THE best-fried chicken. I knew she would put it in the frig overnight but didn't remember what was in the water. Thank you again.
Y’all! Hands down this is the one. I love watching recipes and my husband is usually not a fan…. This time is a bingo. We had it tonight and he was elated! You are the best…NO CRITICISM HERE ONLY ACCOLADES.
nice .. you are the first cook ive come across that uses cavenders greek seasoning, i have been using it for couple decades now and i make my own mixes with and without cavenders
Chef Jeff: My mom and I made this for supper this evening, it was very good, flavorful and moist. Kind of similar to my Great Grandmother’s old recipe. This defines what Old School Southern Fried Chicken is all about. Thanks for sharing! I hope you decide not to close down your channel! Thanks for everything!
You have made me happy!!!! I have been looking for oil like this. I wondered why the vegetable oil got dark after one fry. The chicken looks delicious 😋😋😋😋
Yesss Sir Chef Jeffrey!!! The Famous Barnyard Pimp's wings are my go to. I have marinated chicken in buttermilk, but never with Kosher salt and plain water. This is a tip for the average cook's book. Thank you! Have a blessed and wonderful day everyone! ☺️
Iv been doing it that way for years..... and heres another little tip...I pat the chicken COMPLEATLY DRY and then dip it in Egg WHITES ( No Yoke's ) and then bread it....the protines in the egg white adhear the breading tight to the chicken and the results are very much like yould find at , say , Popeyes...
Good morning chef Jeffery and everyone here 🙏🌞🌻🤗...chef Jeffery🐔 that picture of your fried chicken is priceless!! The batter looks light 🍗and crispy..well season.and the chicken..looks so juicy 👍😋..I have got to try this recipe! I'm gonna start out with small drummets and wings...only because my fear of frying chicken and not getting them well cook😖😩! But I will start out with smaller wings and drums and follow your instructions here😋👍
I smell it this morning after watching on last Friday night. Sending this Phenomenal Recipe to my precious 23 year old Granddaughter, Breionna. Happy Monday Chef Jeffrey 😋
Good morning, Chef Jeffrey. That golden brown chicken looks awesome. I'll definitely try the brine method... I agree, I couldn't cook in makeup, dress clothes etc. I'm not messing up my good clothes and I don't wear makeup 🤣 Thanks for another great video. 👍 Enjoy your Wednesday. #OldSchoolSoulFood
Beautiful chicken chef. Thanks for the tip on the cooking oil. I will look for some of this. My favorite is the flats too. I never brined wings but will do this next time too. Thanks for you expert advice and vedio. Enjoy your day.
Found your channel and love it. Subbed. This is the kind of thing I grew up with, but never really thought of it as anything other than Southern eating. I thought everyone ate like this till I joined the Navy. Learned different, still never found a better type of eating. I like other countries traditional foods, but this is down home eating. When I don't get it for a while I miss it. Nothing compares to traditional Southern foods. Soul food is everyman food down South. Depending on which side of the tracks you came up on. Though in truth even the rich folks liked it. Have a nice weekend chef and look forward to more of your entertaining and instructional videos.

I would love to meet him in person. I live in Louisiana he is such a inspiration to people all over. Such a Christian man God bless him with a talent cooking . I love to watch him cook. Love his recipes God bless you Chef Jeffery
Hi Chef Jeffrey. This brining method is the way I have always prepared my fried chicken, just like my mom used to. Over the years, I started adding garlic powder and sometimes a tiny bit of onion powder. Next time I will try it with adding some Cavender’s! Thanks Chef! 👍🏼
There is nothing like a well season fried chicken. When you take your time to prep and season your meats the day before cooking it. You will need to give the cook a his/her their praise because there's nothing like good fried chicken 🍗. Also, you know that your fried chicken is good is when you are licking or chewing on the bones 😋. The favoring went down into the bones and you can't stop eating it. 😋
Looks so good. I know that brine made it flavorful. chicken wings cost about $7.99 per pound in my area (california). I get them on sale for about $3.49 so that's when I stock up.
Sliding in with love and support to brighten your day #OurFamBamAngel this fried chicken look smackalicious great job we shouted you out Sunday #LovePeaceAlways
OH - OH , ima do this for dinner on Sunday ! 🎉😂. Here you go again …. I’ll never loose weight 🥴 watching your videos …..ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT ! I made pancakes after watching your pancake and plum jelly video . 😛😋. Love this channel for SERIOUSLY DELICIOUSNESS ! 🎉❤😂
People who take the time to create a meal rather than grab & go not only are usually healthier, but they savor their food. That's what real food is really about.
This Chicken looks amazing. I can taste it clear over here. in California. How did you ever learn so much about cooking when you were in School, College, Working, ect. You have had a busy but an amazing life haven't you? Thank you for This great recipe, I can't wait to try it for the week end. Thank you and God Bless you Chef Jeffery...
Old school soul food as always food looks good I just know that chicken is good fresh out the grease with hot sauce on it thanks for sharing the recipe as always blessings to you
I don't care how many times I eat chicken...I am never tired of some good old fried chicken LOL. Man those wings are fried to perfection. I gotta get some of that oil because peanut oil is too expensive.
Excellent chef I always learn something watching your videos about improving my cooking techniques. I am a great grandmother from Delaware with southern NC roots. Keep up the good work!!
Chef, I always learn something from you! That Clear Fry Oil can now be ordered for $117 through Amazon. Other than that, I've got some wings and now I'll brine them for 24 hrs in a tablespoon of kosher salt! Great job Chef!
*Love from New Yawk City.* Do as You want when it comes to food, there are no rules EXCEPT TWO - 1.CLEANLINESS & 2.THOROUGHLY COOKED. EVERYBODY'S a critic on many levels and gonna criticize no matter what, I'm one of them critics coming with destructive & constructive criticism. I've grown up with both types of criticism. My Virginia-born/raised GreatGranny taught All of Us how to SEASON & FRY chicken. We marinate in whatever flavor for several hours We plan to have Our chicken taste like.
Hello ChefJeffrey so happy to see you well & thriving. Jim’s Chicken is sooo tasty. To let folks know AnnaNicole worked there. My husband and I would go there after fishing Crappie on the NavasotaRiver in Mexia GoodGood Chicken!
Hi Chef, I made your sweet potato pie for new years and I melted my butterscotch chips in the microwave then added to my pie mix. It was soooo good. I had already tried the pecan pie with butterscotch chips for Christmas and that was great!
Love your vids!!! GREAT recipes and simple instructions! No complications is just how I like it! For me, you've got one of the absolute BEST cooking channels around! 👍👍👍
Teach.. I been brining my meats since I was able to cook as a teenager. But we/they never called it that. 😂😂 And I also use whatever is available for me to shake the flour in. Could be plastic, paper, storage bag or even a big mixing bowl with lid I use them all
That looks just like the chicken my mama made! I’ve been trying to perfect it for years! I’m now 72 and I am definitely trying this! Thanks chef Jeffrey!❤
I have been using this brine for only a couple of hours for years-Using bread flour to fry-So tried this-BUT was too hungry for fried chicken watching your video!! AFTER only 2 hours brining-2 hours air drying in fridge on rack-uncovered I promise you it was STILL absolutely TENDER, FLAVORFUL, CRISPY AND DELICIOUS!
Chef! I love me some Jim’s Crispy Chicken. For some reason to me the Mexia chicken is better than the Bellmead’s chicken. I’m so glad you posted this recipe. I always wondered what Jim’s did to make that chicken so good. I’m trying this recipe. Thanks!!!!
Good Morning Top Chef! This chicken looks delicious,thank you fir the tips on frying the chicken, for a better flavor! Well you have extra wings,would you mind sharing! Lol Definitely going to brine some wings,bless you have a wonderful day! No need to dress to,impress! The food speaks for itself! Fabulous all the time!
You made something so simple as frying chicken so entertaining & you taught me something new about the Clear Frying Oil ! i cant wait to see what else you got in-store !!!!!
Hello Chef Jeffrey, that chicken looks absolutely delicious. I love chicken wings, that’s about the only part of the chicken I eat except the liver and back. GOD BLESS you to continue all your wonderful recipes. Love you and have a bless day. ❤🙏

Yes, indeed! You have to brine that bird. Then you don't have to add every seasoning in your pantry to try to add flavor. Great video.

*_Caribbean Soul Food_* will be in the mix and that list is just as long as Da Famz Southern Soul Food. Also, Sweet Hibiscus Tea(aka Sorrel tea) to wash the food down & "out." That is also a mild laxative.
Looks delicious & if I ever drive back through there I’ll stop in & get some!
I would love to meet him in person. I live in Louisiana he is such a inspiration to people all over. Such a Christian man God bless him with a talent cooking . I love to watch him cook. Love his recipes God bless you Chef Jeffery

for you.
🥰🥰🥰
GM y'all those wings looks crispy golden delicious I will b trying this brine thanks for sharing this recipe Have a blessed day everyone!!!!
Hi Chef Jeffrey. This brining method is the way I have always prepared my fried chicken, just like my mom used to. Over the years, I started adding garlic powder and sometimes a tiny bit of onion powder. Next time I will try it with adding some Cavender’s! Thanks Chef! 👍🏼
What is Cavender's?
@@mothertwinkles4198 Cavender’s Greek Seasoning.
@@anthonykirkendhall4344 Thank you!
What is cavender's please?
Oh I see thank you
Hi Chef Jeffrey
Thank you for sharing another delicious recipe. Your chicken looks delicious 😋 Love You ❤️
There is nothing like a well season fried chicken. When you take your time to prep and season your meats the day before cooking it. You will need to give the cook a his/her their praise because there's nothing like good fried chicken 🍗. Also, you know that your fried chicken is good is when you are licking or chewing on the bones 😋. The favoring went down into the bones and you can't stop eating it. 😋
Good morning Chef Jeffery. Looks delicious . Thank you
Looks so good. I know that brine made it flavorful. chicken wings cost about $7.99 per pound in my area (california). I get them on sale for about $3.49 so that's when I stock up.
Now I have always brined the turkey. But the wings that's a new level. Thanks Chef, gonna try the next time👌🏽❤️
Praying all is well and GOD continues to be your strength 🕊🙏🏾✝️
Thanks! We are in Central Texas. We will check it out!

Chef Jeff you can cook anything and everything you cook looks so good you have a wonderful day and be safe and be bless
People who take the time to create a meal rather than grab & go not only are usually healthier, but they savor their food. That's what real food is really about.
The brines the way to go. I even brine my Thanksgiving Turkey 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I learn something good every time I watch your videos. Love your COMMENTARY OLD SCHOOL!!!❤️🔥🙏🥰
My mom would tell me this is how my grandmother prepared her chicken for frying. I need to try this.
This Chicken looks amazing. I can taste it clear over here. in California. How did you ever learn so much about cooking when you were in School, College, Working, ect. You have had a busy but an amazing life haven't you? Thank you for This great recipe, I can't wait to try it for the week end. Thank you and God Bless you Chef Jeffery...
That is almost how my Mom taught us how to fry chicken. Delicious!
Old school soul food as always food looks good I just know that chicken is good fresh out the grease with hot sauce on it thanks for sharing the recipe as always blessings to you
Looks absolutely delicious 😋. I can smell it cooking 🧑🏼🍳. Yummy yummy goodness. ❤❤
Golden brown and delicious I will try this recipe thank you for sharing 😊
I don't care how many times I eat chicken...I am never tired of some good old fried chicken LOL. Man those wings are fried to perfection. I gotta get some of that oil because peanut oil is too expensive.
Excellent chef
I always learn something watching your videos about improving my cooking techniques.
I am a great grandmother from Delaware with southern NC roots.
Keep up the good work!!
Chef, I always learn something from you! That Clear Fry Oil can now be ordered for $117 through Amazon. Other than that, I've got some wings and now I'll brine them for 24 hrs in a tablespoon of kosher salt! Great job Chef!
I've never heard of 24hr chicken. Thanks for the recipe. I am very grateful.
Great video thanks for sharing your time and recipe 😊😊

Do as You want when it comes to food, there are no rules EXCEPT TWO - 1.CLEANLINESS & 2.THOROUGHLY COOKED.
EVERYBODY'S a critic on many levels and gonna criticize no matter what, I'm one of them critics coming with destructive & constructive criticism. I've grown up with both types of criticism.
My Virginia-born/raised GreatGranny taught All of Us how to SEASON & FRY chicken.
We marinate in whatever flavor for several hours We plan to have Our chicken taste like.
Awsome video chef.
You just can't beat chicken wings and hot sauce. Thank you for sharing your video.

God bless.
Hello ChefJeffrey so happy to see you well & thriving. Jim’s Chicken is sooo tasty. To let folks know AnnaNicole worked there. My husband and I would go there after fishing Crappie on the NavasotaRiver in Mexia GoodGood Chicken!
Hi Mr jeffery I love the way you cook, can you please make an old school 3 layer Carmel cake 🥰💕
Chicken looks delicious 😋 TFS 🥰
Hi Chef, I made your sweet potato pie for new years and I melted my butterscotch chips in the microwave then added to my pie mix. It was soooo good. I had already tried the pecan pie with butterscotch chips for Christmas and that was great!
Love your vids!!! GREAT recipes and simple instructions!
No complications is just how I like it!
For me, you've got one of the absolute BEST cooking channels around! 👍👍👍
Teach..
I been brining my meats since I was able to cook as a teenager. But we/they never called it that. 😂😂
And I also use whatever is available for me to shake the flour in. Could be plastic, paper, storage bag or even a big mixing bowl with lid I use them all
Yes!!!!! Please wash your chicken. Please. This looks so good. My all time fave is fried chicken.💖💖💖 Oh I know about that brown paper bag.
Wow, blessing Chef Jeffrey, it looks so delicious 😋
That looks just like the chicken my mama made! I’ve been trying to perfect it for years! I’m now 72 and I am definitely trying this! Thanks chef Jeffrey!❤
I have been using this brine for only a couple of hours for years-Using bread flour to fry-So tried this-BUT was too hungry for fried chicken watching your video!! AFTER only 2 hours brining-2 hours air drying in fridge on rack-uncovered I promise you it was STILL absolutely TENDER, FLAVORFUL, CRISPY AND DELICIOUS!
I'm from Waco and I would have to agree with you.
"Hot sauce got in my throat, hit me heavy here!" 😂😂😂 I'm officially a fan!!!
Crazy this in my algorithm. My dad's family is from mexia. It was practically our second home as kids .jims does have some good chicken
Chef! I love me some Jim’s Crispy Chicken. For some reason to me the Mexia chicken is better than the Bellmead’s chicken. I’m so glad you posted this recipe. I always wondered what Jim’s did to make that chicken so good. I’m trying this recipe. Thanks!!!!
Your welcome

Chef, wow, this is the way I was taught to fry chicken. I never used a batter to fry chicken. 😋
You made something so simple as frying chicken so entertaining & you taught me something new about the Clear Frying Oil ! i cant wait to see what else you got in-store !!!!!

Hello Chef Jeffrey, that chicken looks absolutely delicious. I love chicken wings, that’s about the only part of the chicken I eat except the liver and back. GOD BLESS you to continue all your wonderful recipes. Love you and have a bless day. ❤🙏
