My husband’s aunt sent him outside to get a chicken to ring it’s neck for dinner. He tried but could not do it. She went outside calling him a city boy picked up the chicken rung it’s neck cleaned it and cooked it for Sunday dinner still talking about how Jerry could not ring that chickens neck but said “ look at him!”” he sure can eat it! “
🤣🤣🤣
Amazing story!!!
Aww, my momma’s name was Ruthie, Ruthie Mae. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You are a fabulous comfort cook! I’m learning so much from you!
That’s a cruel way to kill a chicken. You’re slit the neck and hang chicken up do so the blood can drain . You’re also supposed to say a prayer before slathering and animals. Only hillbilly are cruelty to animals.
My momma: salt & pepper in the flour, add to paper bag, add chicken & shake. Add to melted manteca/Crisco, fry uncovered until done & enjoy
You know, for a bird that can’t fly and has to walk everywhere it goes, I’m surprised the thigh is the fattiest part of a chicken.
I'm sad, I wanted the drumstick but Chris had the nerve to eat it right in front of me. 😭😭😭
My favorite piece
when i was a kid, id see my grandmother grab up 2 chickens, 1 in each hand, and ring their necks. then, she would scald and defeather em, cut em up, and fry em. she cooked on a woodfired cookstove. them was the days. ive had people tell me "we ate lots of chicken when i was young, so now, i dont like it". i think they probably didnt like chicken to begin with. ok. we did too, cause it was cheap, and we were by no means wealthy. at the store, lots of times mom would get wings for free, cause nobody wanted em, or thought they were "cool" like they do now, eatin hot wings. backs and necks too. mom would get them for free, boil em, and make chicken soup after she strained out the bones. even as much chicken as i ate when i was young, i could STILL eat fried chicken every day.
Hi Tammy and Chris... I had to laugh when you spoke of girls \ women not wanting to cut up a chicken but buy it prepared...That sounds exactly like my 2 daughters. I told them many times over the years about dividing up meat to save money but they still don't want to...I buy 3 lbs. of ground beef and separate it into 2 one pound containers and the other pound into patties then freeze it. How hard is that? But they don't want to handle the meat...ha ha ha That chicken looks delicious. God Bless You both... LuvYa! Bye from Ohio
I did cauliflower like you do okra with white Lily flour and buttermilk(milk) in the air fryer. Omg. Delicious
Hello Tammy and Chris Nichols and family this chicken is exactly the way my late Grandma and Mom and I still make it. This is the best chicken hands down. Way better than KFC. Love your U Tube channel and your recipes Tammy and Chris so glad I found your channel. Have a good evening and a wonderful Blessed weekend. God Bless you both and your family from a viewer in Toronto Ontario Canada
Deep fried??? Pressure cooked KFC I've heard of, but I've always thought this was the only and best way!
KFC who? Word on the street is those are not real chickens they are aliens!😂
Now you KNOW you need some of your soft and FLUFFY biscuits with that fried chicken! YUM! ☺ And fille it with lots of BUTTER and HONEY!
Tammy and Chris, my grandma cooked her chicken in shortening too! Always delicious! Thanks 🍗
Grandma’s Sunday dinner: fried chicken, mashed potatoes and milk gravy, Lima beans, corn, potato salad, white bread to put more gravy on, sliced tomatoes, deviled eggs, and plenty of iced tea!!! Such great memories as I watched you get the Crisco out and go to town! I know exactly what wonderful aromas were in your kitchen!!! ♥️
I miss those Sundays! I wonder how many of us now still do Sunday dinners with family? Such a great time with family. ❤
I too remember my grandma telling me to go out back and ring a chickens neck like I saw her do about every week. I tried didn't kill it well.i believe that was the first but lastm time I have ever panicked in my 88 years . By the way I separate the thigh from the drumstick when I cut up..I love your show and I relate to what you do in the kitchen.
As far as I know those after church Sunday dinners are now just a wonderful memory. We are lucky to have any family meals TOGETHER these days
I've never seen anyone make chicken like my Grandma did, until now. Tall cast iron skillet. Lard or shortening. She always cut up a chicken. She insisted that pre cut chicken had bad parts they took off. She fried hers a long time turning it often. BUT she always had wishbones. It was sacrilege not to have a wishbone! 🤣 My personal favorite piece.
This is the best chicken ever. She would occasionally make her biscuits with lard and you could tell the difference. Her white chicken gravy was the best.
Once again. Chris has the best taste!!!!
That's how my mom and both mamaws fried chicken!! And now I fry it that way too! And that chicken gravy is so good over some buttermilk biscuits!! About once a summer while our son was little I'd get up early and fry a batch if chicken, fix green beans, and make tater salad (made the tater salad the night before), and we'd load up our insulated cooler with that and head to Gatlinburg and Cherokee for a picnic!!!!!! I'd make enough food so we could eat a picnic lunch and supper down there!!! Those were such fun times. And we'd all about starve to death driving down there smelling that good fried chicken!🍗🥰
It's been a long time since I made chicken like that. My mother made chicken like that. We had our own "yard birds", so it was always fresh. Her brother brought his family often for Sunday dinner and we ALWAYS had that chicken because it was his favorite. Thank you, Chris and Tammy for reminding me to "send us back in time". Love ya!
That looks delicious, never been able to fry good chicken but after watching your video I’m going to give it another try! Thank you 💞
Me too Rita!!!
Me three
My mother’s maiden name was Nichols. She was from Ozark, Ar. She was an incredible woman.
Chicken fried in a cast iron skillet is just the best ever.
One of my favorite meals too! Sure miss my Grandmother’s and Mother’s cooking!
heck I raise my own quail chicken and Turkey and I kill them myself and butcher them myself and I kill and butcher hogs and deer I'm a woman and I'm glad I learned how to do that because it does save money good looking meal
I grew up with chicken my Granny had freshly killed and cleaned as well. The only change is that she soaked it in buttermilk before church on Sunday morning which made the chicken tenderized by he time we got home. She didn’t use egg either, the buttermilk took the place of it. She used self rising flour as well. The rest of her recipe was identical, cover for most of the cooking and then uncover and turn up the heat slightly at the end to crisp it up. I make this for my husband as often as possible, it is his favorite meal.
My Mom used to make french fries in her cast iron skillet, and she cooked with Crisco. She would put the used Crisco back in a dedicated container and put it in the fridge. She reused it multiple times. You probably can't do that with something containing flour debris. Reusing it was more economical.
Thanks for another lesson! I've always been hesitant to cover frying chicken cause I was afraid it would get soggy. Apparently I was wrong? Covering doesn't make it soggy?
My ganny did the same from Kentucky...👍❤🙏
I have my grannies skillets, just like yours..🤓
Love it Tammy!! My mom made that gravy and chicken just like you did! Thank you!--Tressa Daigle
Looks delicious!! Even with oil you need to add more.. Julia Childs says lard makes everything taste better and it’s more healthy than vegetable oils! She is right!
Haven't seen you in a while and have missed you & Chris. Your chicken looks so good! I'm 89 years old and still live to cook! Love watching you!
So glad I found this video. I have my grandmother's buttermilk fried chicken recipe (written in her hand) & I couldn't understand what she meant by frying in shortening lol.....I was like, "this is gonna take a whole container or two!" This video explains it. (She was from Countcreek Kentucky so i knowit was a southernway)
I just love this channel, the old school meals its just amazing! So nostalgic :)
My Grandma, Katie McDaniel from Oklahoma, made buttermilk biscuits for every meal, flour gravy, she cooked her chicken in Crisco too and used a paper bag to flour the pieces up, she mashed her potatoes, and there was a green garden salad, (all from her garden) for lunch and dinner, then desert was usually peach cobbler or some kind of cake :) She passed in 1999 and I honor her with my cookin every meal. I cook just like her 💖 Thank you Tammy and Chris, you two give me such a warm feeling, because I was raised similar to y'all.
Can you please make some broasted chicken please
My mom made the best fried chicken, she would cook two big iron skillets full on Sunday. She cooked it just like you did. ❤️So Delicious 😋
Lord have mercy 😋😂😂looks so delicious
Oh my this looks scrumptious, I don’t mind cutting up a chicken into pieces BUT if I had to kill it myself I reckon I’d darn well starve to death as I’m sure I couldn’t do it. I can’t get Crisco shortening here in Australia but I found that the blocks of super-fry are a great substitute & possibly similar to yours. Thank you Tammy & Chris for this ‘winner winner chicken dinner’ & that’s a rather nifty turning hook too.
My mom would make her chicken like this but my grandmother would use a big ole electric fry pan with shortening she made the best chicken n crust was so good n crunchy me n my cousin would fight for that crust that my grandma would put in a seperate plate for us lol Memories of mommie Cain's fried chicken fried okra & blackberry cobbler & apple fried hand pies
Girl granny would get you for not folding that wing 😂😂😂 lol
Flour, salt and pepper fried in lard, that's what I was raised on. Brings back good memories. Them beans I see on the side, any bean we had was seasoned with fatback.
Hi Tammy and Chris recipe Is yummy enjoy
If you have a temp gage the internal temp should be 165 degrees.
That is the prettiest chicken! My Grandfather and his siblings snuck and fried a chicken when their parents went to town. I imagine this is how they fried ,because I'm sure their mother wouldn't miss a little bit of lard but definitely a cup or two if deep frying. They feasted, disposed of all the evidence and acted as if nothing happened. Later on in the evening, my Grandfather told on everybody!
My aunt Bessie did this too! Salt pepper egg and self rising flour! She used crisco
It's so good!
Tammy, a cup of gravy?????? How is that enough? Aren’t you gonna have left over taters? And no gravy? 😩
There is just two of us Lola :) It was more than enough because we only had it on the potatoes.
I'm with Chris. This is my favorite meal. I just got back from the grocery store and now I want to run back and buy a chicken. Thanks for this!
Looks good. I use lard for my frying and pie crust making. I see fried chicken thighs in my future. Tammy, where did you get that fabulous dinnerware from? I just checked out your store but didn't see them😔 I plan on ordering that green bean pot next week.
They are no longer made
Tammy can you believe I've never made fried chicken...I'm going to order me one of your lids and cook me some of Granny's fried Chicken...I'll tell you how I do.
Please do
Mother and Mammaw would be so pleased you shared the old right way!! You rock.
So much inspiration from just one channel!
I get my fried chicken right thru the drive thru at Popeyes 🤣🤣lmbo. Miss Tammy I’ve never done this before. I’m too chicken. But yours is delicious 😋 I love you Miss Tammy. Love you too Chris ❤️❤️
That’s some pretty chicken. I still want to try frying it in lard like the old days one day.
Tammy, this looks absolutely wonderful! I am going to try and make it tomorrow or Tuesday…can hardly wait!!!
I use foil if I don't have a lid
That's the way my family fries chicken.& I love it that way. Look's Awesome😁
When I was 19, we went to Arkansas to visit my Grandma Long. I was proud that I was learning to cook. I wanted to surprise Grandma that I had learned how to fry chicken. I wanted to show her i could make fried chicken. She gave me a full half hour, came into the kitchen. Asked me who taught me to make fried chicken. She basically pushed me aside and said she would make dinner . I didn't have. The heart to tell her that her daughter was the one who taught me to cook.😂😂😂😂😂
Nothing like tried and true recipes from our Mamas and granny’s. ♥️♥️
That's some gooooood Sunday "go to meetin' eatin'" right there!!!! Yum, Yum!!!! Just how my granny made it, too! 😋
Love this couple and all their recipes ,I fail at frying chicken all the time especially when I add flour ,thank you for sharing your recipe I’m making this recipe tomorrow.🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤👍🇵🇷.
Did your mom ever use the potato water in her gravy? It is so good that way.
No she did not
Tammy that chicken looked just like my mama’s . I don’t like to fry chicken but I think it’s time to fry some as I think I could smell that wonderful chicken. I’m 71 and I guess I’ve gotten lazy.
I don't know where Collard Valley is, but you have one heck of a southern accent, just like MY Grandma did. This video made me SO hungry for this... specially when you made the gravy and poured it on the potatoes. WOW.... good.
My mom made fried chicken just like this and we’d have it for picnics. Those were my very favorite way to eat chicken. I miss mommas fried chicken. I loved the legs.
Boy, I wish I could be eating supper with you guys tonite... I LOOOVE FRIED CHICKEN !!! 😁😁😁
When KFC stopped using shortening and started using oil the chicken was never the same...
Just to let you know Tammy... Martha Stewart uses YOUR measuring scoops!...just for all those trolls who bad mouthed your measuring scoops. Your Ukrainian Friend, Tatiana
Thanks for showing us that you don't need a half skillet full of grease Tammy! I would've used 2x that amount and not use a lid. Never heard of covering it; would've thought it would make it greasy n soggy! Love your way. Thanks again!
OH.......MY.........GOODNESS!! YES YES YES!!! Just like Mama and Mamaw did!!
You are so cute,,your words,,your accent,,and your pretty little curls..you love your hubby,,you love the lord......and of course,,good cooking
..you brighten our day
Hey y'all, Tammy you make cutting up that chicken look so easy. I know a good sharp knife is key,but you also have self-confidence as though you're telling that chicken who's boss.❤
Everything looks delish except the white gravy. We always had brown gravy in Alabama. Enjoyed your show.
Hey There Tammy & Chris Lordy Mercy Send me Some of that Decls. Chicken up the Road man whn the taste test came I want some soo bad u guys Enjoy yr Super have a aBless Week End & A Sweet Rest tonight ♥️♥️U fm Augusta 🐶🐶🐶A big Pat 4 The Doggies 👋🏾🐦🐦
That's my big brother Raynell favorite meal too with a piece of German Chocolate Cake. He loves it as his birthday meal which is June 3rd. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Imma CITY GURL BUT 🤣🤣😭😭😭DAYUMMMMMM THAT CHICK N LOOKS HELLA GOOD
I loved my grandma’s fried chicken and this looks just like it ! Thanks Tammy and Chris. 💕
My mom only fried chicken maybe twice in my whole childhood and she bought pieces already cut up because she never cut up a whole chicken. My mother-in-law raised 400 chickens every year that she cooked for her family. When I married my husband my bonus was my mother-in-law.
Try pouring a little potato water into the flour for the gravy. Most pour it down the drain losing a lot of the minerals. Goodness!! Even discarding the peelings is sinful. A lot of vitamins are wasted. Scrub potatoes clean, though if you decide to use the whole potato. I am trying your chicken very soon! I can't wait! You make it look so easy, Tammy!
Thanks for this,looks great and easy.Could you review the cutting of the chicken sometime?
Hey I like chicken baked in the stove delicious 😋😋 I bet I have not fried chicken in my house in 49 yrs but I bet It is good too😋😋😋😋fried
ThanksTammy and Chris This is a favorite alsolike it with peas… but I do love good half runners cooked with fatback
I grew up eating pan fried chicken cooked in Crisco. We also used lard at times. Mom sure knew how to cook. I love fried chicken but it’s so messy. I also know how to cut up my own chicken and do so but my daughter won’t even touch it and neither will my granddaughter.
I remember living in Birmingham AL as a little girl I saw a wild chicken running through my grandmama's house and the next time I saw that chicken which was around supper time it was on my plate sitting next to some rice gravy and biscuits! That poor chicken but it sho was delicious 😂
Thanks you for this! It helps watching it being done. I have learned so much from you.
Rhats how my mom fried chicken she always used shortening
Chris, when you’re the taste tester and you get something delicious you should do a happy dance!! It looks so so good!!
👍🔥😎🔥👍
My Mama used lard.and that.fried chicken was soooo.delicious.
Hello Tammy and Chris. Love that song and love fried chicken. Great Video again . God Bless.
Tammy. My Mama taught us to clean a chicken and cut it up before we cooked it. When trained as a young person to do this, it becomes second nature,. Chicken tastes so much better when one buys a "whole" chicken as opposed to a "Cut-up" one.
I want to be your neighbor! I can't get the heat correct with glass-top electric stove top. And I can't get my propane single -burner to get to and stay at the proper temp. I want a gas stove, just like Mama had.
My mother law hated taking feathers off a chicken! Lots
Young girls today are horrified to touch raw meat especially with bones. 😂
Looks like my mom's fried chicken which she used Crisco initially when it started to brown she would place a stick of butter on top cover with a lid and she used her Guardian Service cookware.
Just how Mamaw used to make! Lard was king . Crisco too expensive and less flavour.
My mamaw would kill her chicken's and Fry it up and it was the best fried chicken you eat. She would tell us that's how it's done..
My grandma had a10" cast iron skillet and could pack a whole chicken in. I don't they they grew chickens as big back then. 😆
Love fried chicken and your sides
Granny didn't use a thermometer nor did my mom they knew how many minutes to cook fried chicken
My mom would fry chicken she always told me get it down on both sides then you could place the lid on your chicken
I never use a thermometer when frying chicken and it always comes out perfect never raw
I found the video I hope for the last April sweepstakes. Please let me know if its entered me. Thanks Tammy 😊
Well my granny was alive we used to go down to the country to see her she made the best chicken ever she would go to the chicken coop she'd kill her own chicken clean it soaking buttermilk battered up and fry it it was so crispy better than any chicken chain out here better than KFC better than Church's Chicken better than any chicken chain out here my mom and my granny and my dad were the best on frying chicken the best we're still here to fry me some gold and chicken I can fry myself and it turns out really good I learned a few secrets throughout the years after my mom and dad and Granny passed to heaven they would be proud of me
My granny fried a lot of wings,,they were cheap then,,,and she fried alot of fish....
What a nice job you did cutting up that chicken, I love Rada, kids used to sell it for school, wish they still did. That chicken looks delicious.
I love fried chicken. It’s the best. I made BBQ Chicken last night
Are we going to see your birthday cards and gifts??...new flooring?
I remember when my mom did chicken every Sunday chicken and sp spaghetti it was good
I like crunchy chicken . Yummy.
Love Joanne Resh 😊
