Fried Chicken: Not just for coloured people

Let's talk about stereotypes. You see jokes everywhere about black people and other coloured folk and how they get hypnotized by fried chicken. However, every stereotype is based on the truth. Coloured people LOVE fried chicken. We fuckin' love it. It's true.

But why is does the stereotype only apply to coloured people? Anywhere you go in the world (well, all the places that I've been to lol), you will find a recipe for some sort of fried chicken. EVERYONE LOVES FRIED CHICKEN. EVEN WHITE PEOPLE. 

It all makes sense. Fried chicken is delicious. So in honor of  stereotypes, here are photos of a stereotypical coloured person (me) making fried chicken.

This is serious coloured people food. And by coloured people,
I mean white people too lol

The day I did this, T&T was having a sale on chicken. During a special occasion like this, I have to call in sick. I just had to. I'll be honest, I call in sick quite often because T&T always has sales on chicken.

My deep fryer is busted. I broke it frying chicken. So being the stereotypical coloured person I am, I never bought a new one. To this day it is still sitting in my cupboard collecting dust, Hoarders style. Luckily I have a pot, a thermometer and some oil.

Ingredients

Chicken pieces, preferably on sale

All purpose flour, for dredging

1 litre cooking oil

Salt and pepper

If you google "fried chicken recipes" you'll find all sorts of different recipes out there. Some of them get marinated in buttermilk, others get the flour, egg wash and bread crumb treatment. Not mine. Season the chicken liberally and dredge it once in seasoned flour and into the hot oil until it's done. That's it. 

I don't serve it with coleslaw, potato salad or any of that sort of nonsense. Serve it with rice and some banana ketchup, if you're feeling adventurous.

Season the chicken before dredging it in the seasoned flour.
Go easy on the seasoning in the flour as you have already
seasoned the chicken.

You want to fry at 375 degrees F. Heat the oil to 425 or so
because the temperature will drop as soon as you drop in
the chicken. 

Keep an eye on that thermometer. If you're cooking outside,
the wind will make temperature control difficult.
