You’re telling me a chicken fried this… chicken?
Probably for its own dinner. Chickens don’t feel any angst about eating their own.
Over the fried remains of its beaten children. Savage.
I want a bite.
Eggs aren’t fertilised. So its the beaten remains of chicken ovulation.
As if you’ve never had a beak in your scrambled. 🤮
Mmmmm crispy scramble
Most of them are fertilized, they just aren’t incubated so it doesn’t really matter
We just call it fried chicken. I should know, I’m Mr. Manager. That being said, looks great and I want all of that.
I think it’s due to being cooked like chicken fried steak not sure how regional it is.
But chicken fried steak is called that because it’s fried in the style of fried chicken.
“Chicken fried like a steak that was fried like chicken” is very needlessly redundant.

It’ll be a flattened or cubed cutlet, not a natural piece of the bird, means you can fry in a pan with a little oil and not a big pot or fryer.
Yeah but the gravy and mashed potatoes make it what it is as well. This is the root dish for the name.

I’m not trying to argue, just trying to explain ops naming choice not just calling it pan fried chicken with black pepper white gravy and mashed potatoes.
I’ve always took bone-in deep fried chicken as fried chicken. This was a boneless breast fired in a pan, which I understood to be chicken fried chicken. Can’t remember where I read that though.
I get the clarification. Just wanted to make an Arrested Development joke and it turned into a whole semantic argument. Alas, as Michael tells Tobias: “There’s gotta be a better way to say that.”
Just manager.
How do you make that gravy?
It looks like a standard white gravy, in which case it’s mostly milk, butter, and flour (plus some salt and pepper).
And a little of the grease used to fry the chicken.
This is most key. Bacon fat preferably if going for the authentic breakfast diner style.
Could be grated coconut instead of flour
Cook equal parts flour and some fat (butter or oil) until it’s a thick paste. Slowly drizzle cold milk and mix. Add milk until consistency you want. Add salt and shit load of pepper.
I’m confused. You mix cold flour, cold butter, and cold milk?
They meant cook . Heat your butter till melted, stir in your flour to make a roux then add your milk then salt and pepper to taste.
I still don’t understand why people pour gravy or sauce over fried meat. Doesn’t it get soggy?
It like cereal, the longer it rests the mushier it gets.
Gotta chew fast while it’s still got that cronch
It sort of does but it’s not really crispness you’re going for in a chicken fried steak (or chicken). It’s just downright hearty and rich and so dang good. Have you had it before?

You stop your filthy lies right this instant.
Hehe fair enough. I’m craving some chicken fried chicken or steak hardcore now
I haven’t tried chicken fried steak yet. But when I make Schnitzel or Backhendl crispiness is key. Whether or not pouring sauce over fried meat is ok seems to be a regional issue here in the German-speaking parts of the world. There are Reddit and Lemmy communities collecting “crimes” against Schnitzel (r/schnitzelverbrechen).
Chicken fried steak or chicken is just American schnitzel really.
Doesn’t get too mushy if you eat in a timely fashion. There’s also enough crispiness from the underside.
I would inhale this in an instant. Looks great!
From Texas and gotta give props - looks great!
Can you share the recipe?
No real recipe. I dry-brined some boneless breasts overnight. Then did a traditional flour, egg, flour dredge and fried in a pan with a little oil. I added some hot sauce to the egg and some spices to the last flour stage. Cheers!
Thank you, it looks fabulous!
Looks good homie.
Gonna need a recipe

You can tell someone is American when they call milky flour “gravy”
White gravy, often flavored with chicken stock and herbs, sometimes pepper, is particularly popular in the south, and it slaps. Its the same kind of gravy you might have with biscuits and gravy (these ‘biscuits’ being closer to scones than hard shortbread or tea biscuits) To use a brown gravy in the same scenario would be a travesty, thats mainly reserved for roasted red meats.
And Americans have the gall to mock British food.
There are different types of gravy, this is one of them.
Don’t be an ass.
This is “gravy” in the same way American squirt cheese is “cheese” in that certain people will call it that. But its categorically a completely different thing.
Well continue being a pedantic miser I suppose. Peace.
It’s a bechamel, friend. You are fool who doesn’t understand food. You probably boil everything you don’t microwave.
Exactly its not gravy.
It’s a roux with some fucking liquid added, which is exactly what you do to make any gravy, regardless of the language root of bechamel. Stop being so goddamn pedantic.
Stop being so goddamn pedantic.
No
Why kill innocent chickens for mouth-pleasure tho
