Best fried chicken dredge1/31/2024 Northern Fried Chicken Vs Southern Fried ChickenĪlthough I love Mo’s best fried chicken recipe, with its thin and airy crust, after making it myself I did find some pros and cons, when comparing it to classic southern buttermilk fried chicken. Mo explained that this method makes a lighter, crispier crust on the chicken that is more delicate than the thicker knobby breading on traditional southern fried chicken. Then she dunked the chicken in pure egg whites right before dropping it into the hot oil. Instead of breading the chicken in the 3-step flour-buttermilk-flour method most southern cooks use, she dunked her chicken in a dredge that was heavy on cornstarch. That night, Mo described her recipe in great detail… Extra Crispy Fried ChickenĬoming from the (lower) midwest, and now living in the south, I had never heard of, or tasted, Tavern-style Fried Chicken. Many years ago, Mo and Papa used to own a tavern in Northern Indiana, right on the border of Michigan.Īlong with beer and basic cocktails, they served an assortment of what I would consider very “Northern” snacks and dishes: Pub cheese and crackers, frog legs, burgers, Hungarian goulash, chicken and rice soup, and best of all, Tavern Fried Chicken. One night, we had a grand conversation around our dining table, babbling on about funny family anecdotes, travel, and recipes. Several years before Mo passed away, she visited us in Asheville for the last time. Yet best of all, Mo had a generous heart and contagious raspy laugh. She had a natural flair in the kitchen and china place settings for thirty. She had strong political views, yet grace to listen to the opinions of those around her. Dan’s grandma was one of my all-time favorite people… We called her Mo. Your family will love this delicious fried chicken recipe from the Yankee states!
