The first time I tried to fry chicken I was in my early 20s. The chicken was burnt on the outside and not cooked on the inside. So I never tried to fry chicken again. I am going to do this chicken again your way I will be 75 this year. You have encouraged me to try it! Thank you so much.

Oil?..kind & how much
Dear Miss Mae, hello.! I am likely to be your oldest student. But I just love your space you have to cook in! My kitchen is so small.I am 98 hrs old and my Mum had 15 children, Mum never did soak Her chicken and her fried chicken was never great but we were hungry we are it. I am going to try your recipe and thank you Love for your time and helping me to remember how to cook fried chicken again. God Bless you 😘
Her name is Mae Mae ... nuff said .... I just need to know who making me a plate !
Whew that was funny! 😂😂😂 thanks for watching!
@@MaeMaesHappyTable Thanking gor sharing with the 🌎 I'm gonna try it
That's what I said I went on ahead and subscribed...
Omg! I’m from Pittsburgh and I watched this video. I am so happy that I did. I made your chicken exactly how you said and your legacy will live on..I will never make chicken wings again without using your recipe. Thank you so much for sharing your secret family recipe with the world. I’m so glad my fiancé was here to watch me make this because there’s no way he would’ve believed that I made this chicken🤣🤣 He was actually thinking this was not a good dinner option. But let me tell you..This white girl can throw down and I have you to thank. This was my first time frying chicken and you did such a great job teaching on your video that I nailed it!
Did you use egg wash before flour or just from brine to flour?
@@mikehuskey9432I’m glad you asked that?!?! Because I was trying to figure out what Ms Mae Mae was saying!! So it’s BRINING!! 😂thank you
My mother cooks her fried chicken similar to this, however, she always act so secretive about her recipes(she can throw down), but she’s gonna be real surprised when I make this for Sunday dinner for a little mother daughter rivalry😂😂😂. Thanks for sharing Ms.Mae!!
😂😂😂😂
I would love to know how yours turned out?
Update what happen?
I guess she never cooked it 🤣🤣🤣
Momma where you at, your lost daughter coming home for dinner..LOOKS DELICIOUS. You sound like the sweetest lady ever.
deana clark 😂😂 I live in Alabama . Thanks for watching and God bless 😊
I believe she's sweet too! She is definitely cooking with love!
That has to be the prettiest fried chicken I have seen. I brin my chicken using salt and sugar but I never thought about adding vingar or using cornstarch in my batter flour. I am going to try your recipe the next time I fry chicken. Thank you for sharing your secret.
@Steven Gates same here 😉
@@MaeMaesHappyTable I'm in Mississippi 😁
I love this woman's attitude and wholesomeness.
Miss Mae Mae how can I ever thank you. My momma passed and my 85 year old daddy wanted fried chicken so bad. I tried to make it twice before I saw your recipe. Disaster. Then I made your recipe and Daddy was so happy. It was the best I ever had. Thank you! High praise to you and thanks to God for your video. 🏆🤗🙏
I never met a Mae Mae or any women with Mae in her name that couldn't cook...
My Aunt Mae is a legend in the kitchen
I know right!!! Lol. I said the same thing. Every Mae i know is old school and can cook.
My Aunt Mae was too!
Makes
Anything
Edible
That's Mae 😆
Yes!!! Shout out to my Granny MAE Brown!
So true!!!!
This video was so comforting. Food for the soul type comfort. Everything about this video is authentic. Her name, the natural imperfections of her speech, the seasonings she uses and omg the hot sauce, and the whole process for bringing which I've never done before but sure have learned something today. She is the grandma and mama I never had. The end result looks perfect no burned chicken. And I could not believe that people gave her a thumbs down. This video is not about being perfect it's about a southern African american heritage and generations of good cooks. I love it and to too it off she naturally thanks the Lord which shows me she has a genuine relationship with him. Nothing fake about this cook. I will never forget the impression Mae Mae has left in me in this one video. So glad I stumbled upon it. And the thumbs down people need to go some where.
Thanks for sharing this with me Mae Mae 💖
Beautiful 😍 🤩 👌
I just love this 😀
The thumbs down folk don't know... Perhaps they've been eating food they THOUGHT was good! In other words, if you've never eaten good food, you
wouldn't know!! Please keep cooking for us Miss Mae Mae!!
@@ellamorris4129 😂😂 your comment is so funny and truthful 🥰 I really thank you for recognizing the unselfish love and knowledge that I’m sharing in this video 🥰 and I feel like you will pass it on to the next generation 😘 thanks for watching 😍🥰😇🙏🏾
Ain’t no imperfections in her speech! And why is there always some mention of Af-ri-can Amer-I-can? She’s just a fine lady that knows how cook…don’t make no difference what color our skin is! Yum.
When I heard her say “Simpleh Becahse” I just knew this was gone be good
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That part😂😂😂😂😂😂
lol... I thought so too!
Facts 😂sound like my Grandma 😂😂.
Girl.... You killed me with that one! Roflmao!!!
When she said she almost fell “I said be careful”😊❤️
I just did this recipe and here's my opinion....The Brine was🔥🔥🔥🔥. BUT, if you're used to the way your food normally tastes, STICK TO THE WAY YOU SEASON YOUR FOOD/MEAT. I'm sure i didn't get it EXACTLY like her, but, i don't normally season my chicken with onion or garlic. But, THANK YOU SO MUCH for the brine tip!!!!!!! Blessings ALWAYS
I tried your recipe for chicken today, and OMG ! IT IS THE BEST ! I have NEVER ever 'Brine' my chicken over night before. The flavor and seasoning is Perfect, I NEVER ate chicken that taste this good. I will NOT be buying chicken out again, I WILL fry my own chicken using your instructions. You are a "GOD SEND" , Thank you for your directions for the BEST Southern Fried Chicken ! GOD BLESS YOU !
Hello George Fields Jr. thanks for reaching out. I’m so glad my recipe could be a help to you. This is the way I learned yo fry chicken when I first started cooking. My mom always called it soaking. We lived in the country and raised our own chicken. Even after we left the country she still did it. I learned later that’s it’s called brining but again my mom called it soaking. Lol. I’ve tried many chicken recipes over the years but nothing has topped this old landmark way of doing it. Thanks for watching!
Brine overnight before throwing chicken on the charcoal grill too
@Rufus Watson overnight???
Yes ma'am! That's how my husband does his chicken. I told him I'm never frying chicken ever again. That's his job now 😁 he's a good county boy. God bless you my sister in the Lord! ❤😊🖒
JoAnn Price 😂😂😍 that saying; " Great minds think alike " is so true... Tuck do the handling the deep fryer and grill... I only do the prep and seasons, I just did for the video.Lol 😂 I bet your husband is a real knowledgeable cook being he was raised on the country 😊😍 always enjoy your comments, my dear sister in Christ and God bless you and your family 🙏🏿👼🏿❤️
MY HUNNI CANT EVEN BOIL WATER WITHOUT BURNING IT LOLOL BUT HE CAN SURE COOK A STEAK AND SOME RIBS !!
@LALA LOL... that's funny. My husband smokes the ribs but I cook the steaks! He used to cook the collards but one day I decided that I would try it. He was sceptical and a little nervous but now that job falls to me too.
@Mae Mae's Happy Table... my husband says you remind him of his grandmother. His grandparents were farmers and every Sunday after church they would feed anyone that showed up. They also made sure that the elders of the community always has food.
@@MaeMaesHappyTable
CAN WE ALL SAY AMEN ! Thank you Miss Mae Mae ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
So sweet! This is a great method. My grandmother had a great technique. She would use ciold buttermilk as a brind. Season the chicken and refrigerate. Then coat the chicken in seasoned flour and place it in a brown paper bag and refrigerate again. Re dust lightly with more flour and deep fry in a cast iron dutch oven. The best chicken you ever tasted. Moist, juicy, flavorful, and tender. I miss her cooking. Thank you for sharing. Continued blessings and success.
❤️🙂
My grandmother was a baker. I'm in my 70's so do the math. Sundays meant parker house rolls. You could smell her house all the way to church. I like to cook and will join this channel to share the techniques. Somebody will pick up the challenge after me.
@@georgesitgraves8474 Yay! So looking forward to what you share. Keep me posted please. Lola
Thank you for sharing!👏🏽
Thank you for sharing your knowledge also. I will also try your grandma's method because I have read about that method elsewhere and it's awesome too.
this lady is a rare treat in this day, her 50 plus years of experience tell you its gonna be the best, love your channel Mae Mae
This lady is so Authentic, so Genuine, I just want to step in her kitchen and be in her company. This is the highest compliment I could offer anyone.
Abundant Positive Energy Blessings be hers ...

I’ve also cooked for over 50 years and my mom did her chicken exactly like you. The absolute BEST fried chicken- seasoned to the bone. Happy cooking, pretty lady!
BJ Gigout Thanks so much for this comment. It's always a pleasure to get comment from people in my generation that relates to old landmark style of cooking. God bless you and your family and thanks for watching 🙏🏿😊
Mae Mae's Happy Table I turned 70, this month! May God’s blessing be upon you and yours, in Jesus’ name. 💜

Mae Mae...I have been frying chicken for over 20 yrs. It has never tasted as good as it did yesterday!! I tried your brine and soaked my wings for almost 6 hours and that was THE BEST tasting fried chicken I have cooked. My husband and son were in chicken heaven eating my wings. Thanks for sharing this because I will always do this for my fried chicken from now on.
Whether it was. Finna or Fit-Na you know she knows her stuff 😉
Yes huni...
Right on!!
My People Lord
Don't forget " Fixin To", lol!
Hi Mae Mae, I am Vietnamese and I cook nothing but noodle soups 😄 but your recipe will be the first fried chicken recipe I will definitely try. Can't wait to tell you how it turns out.
How’s it turn out? I’m learning to fry chicken myself.
@@nikkitalks4713 the best one I've ever made.
@@phuongNguyen-yy1qq It's your first
@@lostinmyspace4910 😂🤣
Wow, that's cool Phuong 😊😊!!
I was raised in the Carolina's and Texas so southern culture is what I was raised with. Watching and listening to Mae Mae takes me back to my youth and some the happiest times of my life. For all the focus that is paid to the more troublesome aspects of history in the South, I say that Mae Mae simply shows how wholesome and comforting Southern culture can be and still is today!
Mae Mae, I made this chicken for my family here in Colorado and it is now our favorite way to eat it! Thank you for sharing your love in this recipe and for taking us back to a simpler, happy time!
This fried chicken looks so good. I have never brine my chicken. I will definitely try it. Thank you for this video.
She speaks my language! Down home food love language!
We are all glad you didn’t fall! 🙌🏽
Yes, indeed! ❤️❤️❤️
Where do u by slap ya mamma
@@helengarcia1695 you can find slap your mama at super Walmart most of the time just reading the comments thought I'd help
i THANK JESUS too
@@helengarcia1695 😅🤣😅🤣❣
I love this lady! She reminds me so much of my granny. I remember my granny sounding just like her. She is from Arkansas and when she was baking her cakes she would yell at us kids to stop running before we make her cake fall. Being a kid I never understood what the meant until I got older lol.
I brine my chicken, that was the first thing I learned how to cook from my mama, and that is what she used to do, she is from the south. I too have tried other recipes I see to fry just not the same. however, the one thing I like using is after brining while the chicken is wet I like to use corn flour, toss and then put the seasoned flour on it and let it sit to coat chicken well. I agree that when you let it sit the flour sits well on the chicken and it comes out a beautiful golden flakey crunch ! thank you for sharing chicken looks delicious!
@@MsBtucker08 corn flour is corn starch.
Same! My Grammo(RIP)🙏🏽 was from MS & she Brined all of her Fowl🙌🏽🐔🦃🦆😂
what is corn flour..iam from the south...never brine..but will do so now.
My husband thanks you from the bottom of his heart ..I fixed that chicken step by step & he was full & happy...Thanks Mom Mom😍
I really enjoyed this video. I'm 69 and my chicken comes out dry. I'm going to use this recipe from now on. I also loved you telling Jesus thank you from keeping you from having a fall.
I have never brined before but will be trying it. When it comes to seasonings, I often times have every seasoning in my cupboard out😂. It's usually season salt, pepper, garlic powder or salt, onion powder, paprika, tony chacheres, yellow mustard and then the cornstarch and flour mix.
Have you ever had brined turkey? I tried it once 8 years ago and I can never go back to having turkey without brining so yummy. I brined it in apple juice, salt a water.
@@bigbertha4080 Actually I have not. I've never cooked a turkey before but if I do cook one, it will be brined 😁
I used this recipe and brined my chicken for the first time and it was so delicious!! The whole family loved it. Thank you Mae Mae!!
Miss Mae Mae, it is nice to meet you! I am making my chicken your way next time I fry! I think I love you. The world needs more folk like you!
I never brined my chicken before..I will have to try this it looks so good...thanks for sharing 🙂🙂
eastnybabe Thanks for watching. You will not be disappointed with this secret..... The business that fry famous brand of chicken might be. Lol😂😂 ... We probably was not supposed to know this (Brine) that's how you get season to the bone.
Then you can season your flour (Self-Rising) to your liking. That's a secret from "Old School " 😍 Thanks for watching and God bless you 🙏🏿😊
What a lovely plate of fried chicken! It reminds me of my great grandmother's. Hers looked just like that. If I make mine like you and it tastes like hers did, I might cry tears of joy. It would be like having a piece of "Moms" back.
Dont worry, no one knows how to pronounce Tony Chacheres. Thats why I just call it Tonys. And I call worcestershire sauce W Sauce. Lol
Blessings!🎀
Shelly Larue Awww ! Your comment is so precious.. thanks for sharing your great-grandmother fried chicken memory. Lol😂, I like you suggestion on pronouncing those hard say seasoning. Let me know how it turns out. Thanks for watching and God bless 🙏🏿😍
I call it Tony's! Lol!
ikr😂😂😂😂
@@MaeMaesHappyTable ....I laughed when u said......"I dont know how to pronounce that".lol😂😂😂 I was so tickled, bc u are so down to earth, not trying to be proper...just felt like good home folks.❤I loved that abt you. You brought back memories. Thank you so much. Im a country girl from Mississippi. You're my kind of cook....PEACE
Omg aunt Mae Mae. You were sooooo right. I did the brine for the first time ever; I will never just season my chicken again. The brine is LITERALLY the all or nothing to fried chicken and I did it to my pork chops. You are a angel and cooking guru.
You knowMs. Mae Mae country when she pronounce poultry "poetry". "I got a tablespoon uhh poetry seasonin". 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You’re voice so soft, comforting makes me feel like you’re the mother I wish I had❤️❤️❤️. Thank you for sharing your new Sub💗
We love you Mae Mae. You are a very good cook.
Now i know what ive been missing. The brining. My mom did but in a different way. Now i cant wait to make fried chicken again in a different way. The right way lol
Indigo Light So happy to share this with you guys. Let me know how it turns out. Thanks for watching and God bless 🙏🏿😊
That "thank ya Jesus" cuz she didn't fall sealed the deal for me. 🥰☺️
Thank you Mae Mae for sharing, some peoples be secretive with their recipes and honey like money they can’t take that with them, bless you 🙏🏼 😊❤️
I never Brine my chicken but I do season it over night and then cook it the next day. I have heard people say they brine their Turkeys. Wow that chicken looked so good and I know the house had a nice Southern fried chicken aroma.
Thanks for watching!
I love this wonderful lady! Now don't she remind you of "Mama"! Makes me miss my mother! She so full of Love and Beautiful! God Bless you in every way Ms Mae Mae!!!
Wow! It look scrumptious, can’t wait to try this recipe. The brine recipe was so simple Thank you Miss Mae Mae and Hod Bless You for sharing
Sorry for the typo, that was God Bless You💕
Miss Mae Mae! May God continue to bless you! I just love watching your videos just to hear you talk! You are very calming and soothing! You teach like they used to do in the black colleges. Very patient and unassuming. I never liked to cook but thanks to you, people think I can cook! Lol. My mom is a awesome cook and she tried hard as she could to teach me but I just couldn’t quite learn. I love how you take your time and teach us. I think a two year old would be able to listen to you and learn something. Amen! Continue to make these videos because there’s healing in your words and voice. Always lift up the name of Jesus in all you do and you will be tremendously blessed! Love in Christ. Miss Robin
You are a blessing. You are covered in the blood of Jesus. Thank you for your teachings big mama
That plate of Southern fried chicken was beautiful!!! Thank you for the brining recipe!! The only thing I have brined is a whole chicken and turkey to smoke on the smoker. From now on, YOUR brining recipe will be done on my fried chicken! Thank you so very much! 😊😊💕
Lisa Holden 👍🏾👍🏾 you will not be disappointed. Since you already use the brines.. You already know just what it do 😊 Thanks for watching 🙏🏿😊
Mae Mae's Happy Table. Thank you for your special teaching!! 💕
23 minutes well spent! I can't wait to fry up some chicken....and I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. You are obviously a kind and gentle spirit! You make your audience want to sit in your kitchen and talk to you as you teach us how to cook!
ShoNuf ain't it, Mae Mae's Southern fried yard bird recipe is the Best! Thank you for sharing Queen👑
My husband told me to tell you thank you. He really enjoyed the whole chicken I brined last night. I did my brine with the kosher salt and lemon pepper. I didnt have any vinegar or sugar but I did it anyways. It tasted so good. Everyone give it a try. Thanks again Mama Mae!
I always have cook Asian food through my life. I try to fried chicken many different ways. As a beginner learning how to cook more American food. This video is amazing. Honestly I'll be cooking like this for the rest of my life. Thank you❤️
Greetings from New Orleans! That chicken looks wonderful! I brine my chicken, but never thought of adding hot sauce or videgar. I just need a chicken leg sent by Fedex for further inspection.
LOL!! Nichola! They would X-Ray Madame Mae Mae's package, hijack it and you would NEVER see it ! Fedex would blame it on COVID!!
@@angelajackson2284 So true! You can't laugh at a sista for trying so hard now!
@@nicholalewis8698 Not at all!! I'm just looking out for you!!
That’s Funny, laughing Out Lod 🥳. 👍🏽👍🏽
🤣😂😂
I tried your recipe today Mae Mae and my wife and daughter completely loved 😍 it!! The brine and cornstarch sent it over the top. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge of your experience in the kitchen 🙏🏿. Peace and love to you and yours ✊🏿
When I saw the "Spice Classics, Soul Food" in the corner I knew I was in the right place!!! 🙌🏾 thank you Ms. Mae for sharing this recipe, brining my chicken right now for Sunday dinner. Can't wait!!! 🥰
I've brined turkey before. I've never thought of doing chicken. I've done it in a milk + vinegar and hot sauce bath, seasoned of course, for a few hours then fried it. I'll definitely give a straight brind a try!
Chicken is a labor of love to do it right.
I always brine my chicken and it really does make a difference., but I need to get me one of those fryers! I use a cast iron skillet but it’s hard to control the heat. Peace love and God Bless!! I’m so happy I found your channel 😊😊😊😊😊😍😍😍😍😍
Love the way you did it ,I will try that brien thank you for sharing!
I could listen to you talk all day long! Some people just make you feel "at home"!
Thanks, dear heart I appreciate you watching 😍🥰🙏🏾
I agree! Totally, lowers my blood pressure listening to her.😊
Yes, she does make you feel like you're sitting right there watching her work her magic! I love this lady!!!
This melts my heart remind me of my momma just good old cooking ,I couldn't stop smiling!!
Hello Ms. Mae Mae! This video came as a suggested video and I went straight to it because my sweet Mama's name is Mae. She went home to be with the Lord in February. It's been really tough losing her and I miss her so much but it was a true comfort hearing you and watching you prepare and cook this chicken. Reminds me of my mama. I've subscribed to your channel and will be watching from now on. Be blessed and keep these delicious recipes coming. 😊💕🌹
I feel like this how your grandmother walks you through learning how to cook. Thank you so much for sharing @Mae Mae’s. God bless you!
Ms. Mae Mae this is my first time seeing this recipe. Wow, all I need is some extra hot sauce and bread. You out did yourself again, and definitely will do my chicken like this from now on. Stay safe.
Gladys Simmons Lol😂😍 Thanks so much for the very flattering comment and watching my channel. I'm always happy to share my knowledge of old landmark style of cooking, that has stood the test of time, with y'all who I consider my cyber extended family in Christ. God bless you and your family 😂😍

After it comes out of the refrigerator, drain off the brine water and sprinkle over chicken pieces:
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
Frank's Red Hot hot sauce
Black pepper
Mix and set aside.
Breading:
3 cups self-rising White Lily flour
1/3 cup corn starch
1 tbsp. poultry seasoning
1 tsp. Tony Chachere's No Salt seasoning

Thank you!!!!!
Thank you! ! , Mrs Mae Mae for teaching us this method of making fried chicken tender and delicious. I enjoy your videos. My favorite part is when you and your husband work together in filming it. God bless you both!
Mrs. Mae Mae, this is the first time I'm seeing your video's. I must say that your voice and sweet spirit that I sense, makes me wanna be sitting on a porch with you just a chattin away about the good old days. That's just how you make people feel. Thank you!❤❤❤
I just need one drumstick! 😂
With a side of her cabbage, a side of her sweet potatoes, one of her corn muffins and a slice of her butternut pound cake.
I don't brine but I'm going to try it next time💗
🤣👍🏾I want them wings!!
@@canufillitDEFINITELY... I'M WITH YOU...
Sorry my Sister, but you gotta get your own!
THANK YOU!!! You really blessed me with this video! I've not fried chicken in over 25 years. It never tasted right. My great grandma made the best chicken. But by the time I was on my own and cooking she wasn't around to be able to learn from her. I even did in home health care and tried to learn as much as I could from the elders I cared for.
This video was straight to the point and very very helpful. I can't wait to make this now. You're such a blessing!! 😘

Mae Mae Brine is what I forgot all about!!!~ I Knew something was missing!! I'm 64yrs old. Married almost 45 yrs this March.

Ms. Mae Mae...I have to give it to you! I just finished frying chicken using your method and following the instructions step-by-step. My chicken turned out perfect! It was seasoned and fried to perfection! Golden brown, crispy and the taste was everything! Your southern fried chicken recipe coupled with with a pound cake made from scratch using @Danielle LaShawn's southern pound cake recipe that I tried for the first time today also, is a match only made in heaven!
Love you too Mrs Mae Mae! You cook like my grandma I miss so very much. I do brine my chicken but with buttermilk. I remember my grandmother brined hers with salt but I didn’t remember the other ingredients so thank you! I’m gonna try this way… ❤️🙏🏽🙌🏽
I Tried Your Fried Chicken Recipe Mae Mae & It Is The Best Fried Chicken I've Ever Cooked! Beautifully Browned, Seasoned To Perfection & Lip Smacking Good! My Husband Said The Same Thing! He's In Here Smacking His Lips! 😂. Thank You🥰
It shook me up when you said, you almost fell. I wanted to grab you and stop the fall!! I actually grabbed my cell phone tighter! I’m just grateful you did not fall! I am going to start making some Southern Deep Fried Chicken this afternoon‼️🙏🙏✝️✝️😃😉🤗🤗👍👍
Oh, what a kind comment to share. My cyber family is the best, hands down 😍 Thanks for watching and God bless you and your family 💞🙏🏿😍
You are the first person I have seen that explains your cooking step by step slow enough that people can follow. Nice work
I was watching you and like to see new fried chicken recipes...when I saw the FRANKS HOT SAUCE I became a subscriber. Your chicken looks amazing. I worked in a chicken place for 4 yrs. We had to put the chicken in vinegar n salt water before we breaded it n fried it. I guess it's what made the chicken sooo good
It was the best chicken I ever ate......will start trying it.
Oh my goodness. That looks yummy 😋. All I need is a piece of light bread (I bet you never heard sliced bread called light bread) hot sauce and some seasoned rice vinegar.
Thank you Mae Mae for your video. I'm a Chef and I tell everybody you can always learn something no matter how old you thank you are I learned something today from your video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge about frying chicken. May the Lord bless you and your hands at everything you do and set your mind to. I Love You sister and may God continue to bless you abundantly far beyond anything your heart desires.
Did you hear that crunch? Oh my. I usually brine my chicken in buttermilk, but I have to try your way. Thanks for keeping classic southern cooking alive. Many blessings.
You did that! Yummy. Just like my Auntees would mix their coating!! They wold make a batter out of buttermilk and egg to dredge that chicken in before flouring. For the big pieces they would cut a slit in them too. Nothing like southern fried chicken! Great recipe.
The food that hit the soul, thank you for bringing those delicious food back to this generation. My mother always put sugar in her chicken that gave it reddish looking. Mae heart is in that batch of fried chicken. Thank You for your wisdom and knowledge something we need to go back to.
Chicken and pork must be brined in my world. They're tasteless without it.
yup, and turkey.
Love this video, reminds me of my Mom and Grandmother frying chicken when I was a young boy in Memphis. They would spend all day in the kitchen cooking and talking and I think it was a way of getting away from us kids as we were not allowed in the kitchen when they were cooking. As far as what they used for a brine, I think they used buttermilk, what ever they did the chicken was always delicious. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos as I'm trying to find ways to recreate what the cooked when we were kids!
You can feel the warmth and love from Mae Mae!!! 🙌🏾
It's Miss Mae Mae God bless.
