Beating their chicken probably isn’t too hard but what about the coleslaw? For some reason I always loved that stuff

Never thought KFC coleslaw was anything special. Haven't had any of their chicken since they seem to have decided fat tastes better than the meat. But Dickies BBQ slaw to me is pretty d*** good. I go there for their slaw but cook my own pulled pork. I have thought about offering to show Dickies how to do their butts but then they probably wouldn't sell me any more of their slaw. As for your thighs, they look as good or better than any I have seen. Got to try that. Thanks and welcome to the Pit.Last edited by wu7y; July 1, 2020, 08:24 PM.

While I'm salivating over the thought of fried chicken now - if any of y'all happen through North West Arkansas - AQ Chicken house in Springdale is the absolute best fried chicken anywhere.
Springdale is where Tyson is HQ'd. AQ has been making chicken since forever. I haven't been there in years, but you won't find better.

Fried Chicken on the PBC! Yum! I'm gonna have to give this a try. Thanks for the post lefty_burns .
One quick question for everyone. This recipe (like many) calls for corn starch as the first step in the breading sequence. I have a family member that is highly allergic to corn. Does anyone know of a substitute that will work in place of corn starch?

Well, perhaps I have answered my own question. White Rice Flour appears to be one of the preferred alternatives. I will give that a try. (Potato Starch is also another alternative, but the individual that is allergic to corn is also allergic to potato.)Last edited by RogoTBull; July 2, 2020, 03:12 PM.

That recipes looks great. I am thinking of trying it with things like sweet and sour pork and chicken nuggets since my wife and I are starting to have more trouble with fried things. Thanks for the share.

I quite like it, however, a lot of the reviews I'd read complained that the basic dredge recipe was quite bland. Forewarned was forearmed so I amped mine up a bit with some jerk rub. Also, have a spray bottle of oil on hand in case you get any bits of the breading that look dry still after 1/2 the time on the pit.

pkadare I was thinking about using the same recipe for the oil fried process but just add the baking soda to the dredge and using the club soda. Having an oil spritzer is a great idea. The thing I noticed about the recipe is that he did not season the chicken itself. He relied totally on the breading seasoning.
