Two absolute legends. There is nothing better than watching a demonstration of an awesome recipe. Since this was done years ago when very few people of color had this opportunity and this is so genuine. Often times real cooks won’t share ingredients or techniques. This show gave Ms Chase a platform to really reach different audience types. Phenomenal!
Absolutely love seeing Julia and Leah together. They seem to really enjoy talking with each other, sharing New Orleans culture; and julia is actually learning something from Ms. Leah. I need to step my game on making homemade biscuits. Ms Leah makes it look so easy.
2 of my all time favorite chiefs Miss Leah, and Miss Julia. One other fact is watching both of these fine women they never once screamed, shout, or talked down to people. Gordon Ramsay should take notes.
Leah Chase is the lady who Disney modeled the character Tiana, from the Princess and the Frog. I recommend anyone look for other videos in which she speaks about her exciting.
I love the Disney movie, "The Princess and the Frog"! New Orleans is a wonderful place! Great people, delicious creole and cajun cooking, jazz music, and Southern hospitality!
atlsong byrd yes. if you look at the real life building where the Chase's run "The Restaurant" it's a splitting image of the restaurant on "Princess and the Frog"
Oh wow when I seen the name Leah chase and fryed chicken omgggg I flew to this video to watch the real true legend of cooking ... the one and only LEAH CHASE 🙌🏽
Those of you that have found this video are extremely lucky, this show has vanished from the web, and the exact recipe is nowhere on PBS, so memorize it now cuz if they take this down thats it, Leah Chase recipe for the ultimate fried chicken will be gone
Hey y'all, all I know is heaven got two of the best people , and Leah has recently left us, but never be forgotten,Three new young people should learn from these two pioneers...miss y'all
For all its simplicity, this is such an such an amazing video! To see these two masters in the same kitchen is certainly a treat! R.I.P. to both these incredible women. Thanks so much, NewNew...
Used to love watching Julia!!!!! She used to be on either GPB or PBS channels when I was growing up. I loved watching her & all the cooking shows,especially on Saturdays
Come on toe New Orleans you will be amazed at the techniques cooks have come up with that work perfectly. Sadly a great deal of the techniques and awesome recipes has died with many of the elders...
Me either. But I recently saw someone use regular milk. The cooked mentioned that you could use regular or buttermilk because they both break down the chicken.
I love watching real women cook homade from scratch. Its science, alchemy, love, and hard work all combined to create something Devine!!! Thankyou Mrs. Leah!!!
So sad to watch that Ma'am Julia passed away many years already. she's already old in this episode, and this was year 1993 .. love to watch these two grandmas cooking. ♥
I like Leah Chase and Julia Child even more. I really miss Julia, she was really thoughtful for letting Leah teach her about good fried chicken. Julia really is a inspiration to all, god bless Julia Child.
I have discovered through the years that to get good fried chicken , you have to start with room temp. seasoned chicken, a hot pan with 1/2 cup of oil, turn heat down a little when chicken has been in for a for minutes. fry chicken on each side for 10 - 12 min. don't let chicken burn. you can turn chicken but it must cook for the 10 or 12 minutes each side. Oil must be hot when you put in chicken.
Rose-Ann Gibbons ... yes oh yes that is the correct way I was taught...I'm now 53yrs. I'm happy country girl that can can veggies and make quilts too..I appreciate and applause you for your knowledge..😍😍😍
I'm Southern and I don't know how to fry chicken (properly) my chicken is what we call "Pretty Chicken". Chicken that's beautifully browned yet when you bite into it it's...RAW. This video will help me!
+Demenyaca M I had a tough time at first too. The key to this is not to have the heat too high, but not too low. You want it on a medium or med-high heat depending on your stove ro pan. Also, if you have a cast iron frying pan it cooks it perfectly. I only cook chicken in cast iron, because it holds heat so well. If you use cast iron, I wouldn't put your stove over med heat because the pan will get to hot. lower the temp a little below med if you need too and if your oil is smoking it's too hot. it should sizzle (roll) but it shouldn't smoke.
+Demenyaca M Had this same problem. Next time you go to the store, get one of those cooking thermometer's that clip on the side of the pan. Make sure the oil covers close to half way b/c just the tip won't give you an accurat measurement. My chicken comes out perfect now. Also, paprika and buttermilk darken the crust. You may think it's burning but it's just the color or in the case of the buttermilk, the sugars in the milk browning.
When the chicken is nice and golden put it in the oven for 20-25 min make sure to use a baking rack so the heat goes all around. Turn the oven on to 350.
Kabu Graham Now you know if she cooks it in the oven like you say she will never learn how to proper cook the fried chicken in the pan to doneness AND have it look pretty!
For me, trial and error has proved that there is nothing wrong with starting in the oil and finishing in the oven with 3 steps in prep: clean well, cut off excess skin/ fat; brine in buttermilk and salt (hot sauce optional) overnight; drain, then rub with spices, let sit 3 hours in fridge, then let come to room temp at least 30 minutes, coat well in seasoned flour to a muddy coating, let sit until flour permeates; then re-coat, THEN fry at 350 degree shallow oil in pan in non-crowded batches. I've made many a batch of chicken in all levels of oil in pan or pot, but it always comes out the outer is burned, the inner is under-cooked. Ive learned: 5 minutes in uncrowded pan with one flip and then 25 minutes on a rack in 375 oven to 165-ish with instant read thermometer: perfect golden, juicy, crispy, complete. Not soggy, not greasy. Pateint steps makes the best Fried chicken. TO me, it cannot be done in one day. Then again, I'm a white northern boy.
If there's one point of agreement between Leah and Julia is lard! I remember Julia Child admonishing home cooks to demand fresh pork lard from their butcher!
I haven't watched this clip yet, but I recall Leah emphatically stating you must use "Lard" for the best deep frying. OK, now I'll watch it. Yup, I watched it. I remember being a bit horrified at that recommendation when I was watching it when it originally aired, but, I now know better! It's the vegetable oil that is the unhealthy fat!!! Do not eat vegetable oil. Saturated animal fats are a healthy choice. Always deep fry with lard (not the hydrogenated Armor crap though!) Save bacon fat and use that to deep fry and you won't have to worry about "moderation" either as long as you keep carbs and sugar out of the meal.
Yes Mrs. Leah!! Everything in moderation! These two women lived to be in their mid 90s!! Such a blessing!! R.I.P. Mrs. Leah and Mrs. Julia!!
Mother Leah Chase was a legend in New Orleans. A woman of great spirit, faith, and food.
Mrs. Leah and Mrs. Julia giving us all something that no one can take away. A recipe like this is like inheriting a treasure.
She cut that chicken up like a real country woman!!!!😀
They don't make em like that anymore....
Two of my favorite girls. Forever in paradise and in our hearts.
Rest In Peace, Mrs. Chase. June. 2019.
A great woman and culinary icon.

I agree, it's always better to see two culinary legends team up.
Love both of them
I remember watching this on PBS as kid back in the day, Miss Leah can Cook!!
This video is a rare gem
2 legends! RIP Leah Chase
Love Leah!! What a great pair Leah and Julia!
God bless you Leah, I pray to have your calm nature during these hateful times in the world. May your light shine always.
I remember Miss Leah saying racism, bigotry is learned behavior as is good manners.Lee Circle should be renamed Leah Blvd.
Julia's facial expression of amazement when she divides the chicken with one cut.
shannon diaram LOL..I learned a lesson
Me as well. Learned something.
Absolutely love seeing Julia and Leah together. They seem to really enjoy talking with each other, sharing New Orleans culture; and julia is actually learning something from Ms. Leah. I need to step my game on making homemade biscuits. Ms Leah makes it look so easy.
I am truly blessed to have come by this video. THANK YOU!❤
2 of my all time favorite chiefs Miss Leah, and Miss Julia. One other fact is watching both of these fine women they never once screamed, shout, or talked down to people. Gordon Ramsay should take notes.
Wow she handled that bird like a boss😳❤️
In love both of these women. They taught me a lot about cooking and serving delicious food. May both of my cooking Angels rest in Heaven.
This is by far the best video on TH-cam. A close second is "a people's history of breakfast, lunch, and dinner".
I Met Leah Chase in New Orleans at Dookies. Amazing woman.
Leah Chase is the lady who Disney modeled the character Tiana, from the Princess and the Frog. I recommend anyone look for other videos in which she speaks about her exciting.
Really?
I love the Disney movie, "The Princess and the Frog"! New Orleans is a wonderful place! Great people, delicious creole and cajun cooking, jazz music, and Southern hospitality!
atlsong byrd yes. if you look at the real life building where the Chase's run "The Restaurant" it's a splitting image of the restaurant on "Princess and the Frog"
Christina Applegate Hi...Are you the actress?
It all make sense now
Rip Leah!!! She really paved the way for many in the culinary arts and she was just a sweetie pie!! Wow two legends gone but never forgotten.

Hey y'all, all I know is heaven got two of the best people , and Leah has recently left us, but never be forgotten,Three new young people should learn from these two pioneers...miss y'all
How perfectly lovely. We need this if we are to remain semi-sane in these terrible times.
For all its simplicity, this is such an such an amazing video! To see these two masters in the same kitchen is certainly a treat! R.I.P. to both these incredible women. Thanks so much, NewNew...
Used to love watching Julia!!!!! She used to be on either GPB or PBS channels when I was growing up. I loved watching her & all the cooking shows,especially on Saturdays

Legendary Women ❤❤
I learned to cut up chicken when I was 12. My mom taught me. 9 parts to a chicken cut up. But u can cut extra pieces from the back or breast.🐣🐔🐣
Thankfully the Queen of Creole Cuisine, Leah Chase is still with us. - R.I.P. Julia
Rip Julia and Leah you were among the best.
Bless her she was so precious❤😊😘
I'm a Leah Chase fan! woohoo may only good things come to you!
The legendary MS.Leah chase
I've never seen anyone soak chicken in evaporated milk! Super interesting I can get my hands on that faster than buttermilk.
Mrs. Adriann buttermilk is usually used..people use to make that kind of milk
Come on toe New Orleans you will be amazed at the techniques cooks have come up with that work perfectly. Sadly a great deal of the techniques and awesome recipes has died with many of the elders...
Me either. But I recently saw someone use regular milk. The cooked mentioned that you could use regular or buttermilk because they both break down the chicken.
AND you can add a bit of vinegar to the liquid for the evaporated milk and get it closer to buttermilk ;)
@@Janine.Najarian Woooow interesting thanks!!! Apple Cider?
I’ve watched this so much, I’m starting to know the words. Haha. Every viewing feels like the first viewing.
RIP Leah Chase
She reminds me of my Grandmother and her sisters ❤❤❤
I love watching real women cook homade from scratch. Its science, alchemy, love, and hard work all combined to create something Devine!!! Thankyou Mrs. Leah!!!

So awesome
I'm Southern and I don't know how to fry chicken (properly) my chicken is what we call "Pretty Chicken". Chicken that's beautifully browned yet when you bite into it it's...RAW. This video will help me!

FreshinglySimple and 504Diva Thanks so much for the Awesome tips!!

Kabu Graham Now you know if she cooks it in the oven like you say she will never learn how to proper cook the fried chicken in the pan to doneness AND have it look pretty!
I like how Julia says fried chicken at the beginning of the show,as if she and Mrs chase were down with each other😂😂😂😂
This was beautiful
or maybe just buy one of Leah Chase's many recipe books
Sometimes my mama used to give us hot biscuits with fried fat back. They were sooooo delicious.
Is this Leah Chase from Dooky Chase?
Yes Many years ago.
Antonius Raja yes that's her
Why is my mouth watering looking at this fried chicken with steak in front of me???😮🤣🤣🤣
That was time very well spent!
My number 3 bucket list is to meet her in person and take a picture with her.
For me, trial and error has proved that there is nothing wrong with starting in the oil and finishing in the oven with 3 steps in prep: clean well, cut off excess skin/ fat; brine in buttermilk and salt (hot sauce optional) overnight; drain, then rub with spices, let sit 3 hours in fridge, then let come to room temp at least 30 minutes, coat well in seasoned flour to a muddy coating, let sit until flour permeates; then re-coat, THEN fry at 350 degree shallow oil in pan in non-crowded batches.

Watching Leah Chase cut up a chicken is like watching Picasso paint
If there's one point of agreement between Leah and Julia is lard! I remember Julia Child admonishing home cooks to demand fresh pork lard from their butcher!
Yes, she brought back memories biscuits and Log Cabin Cane Syrup
Mama cut the H__! outta that chicken!! It was so quick, I had to rewind. Thats what happens when you know what you're doing!!
Classic
Why did I enjoy this so much? I don't understand. :]
I bet she is or was a good Southern cook.
She is Still Alive And Well
94 years old as of January 6th, 2017. And still cooking!
ELIPOUL She has her own restaurant in New Orleans.
"I bet she is or was a good Southern cook.
" Fool! She is THE Southern cook.
@The Realist wow, I just seen her on rhop when they were n new Orleans. RIP queen
I haven't watched this clip yet, but I recall Leah emphatically stating you must use "Lard" for the best deep frying. OK, now I'll watch it. Yup, I watched it.
