Reviews
I
This chicken is great! The whole family loves it! I always make a point to watch the video when they’re available so that I can see exactly what the chef/cook does. Well, I’m glad I watched this one cuz what a lot of people probably didn’t realize and I’m not sure why it was changed, is that the seasonings are totally different, as far as the measurements go. There is a lot more seasoning in the recipe on the video when he makes it than is listed and I think that’s the problem. Watch the video and write down the amounts he uses and put it in your apps note section on the recipe so you have the proper seasoning. It makes all the difference!
Finally!!! I was successful with fried chicken. I have never used the tin foil cooking method made all the difference in temperature control. And recipe was tasty
This recipe is absolutely delicious, with just a little kick. We made the Chicken with the Power Air Fryer, since I cannot eat deep fried foods.
Easy and very good.
Rave reviews every time I use this recipe, it’s perfect!
This was delicious Aaron, thank you.
What happened to all of my old recipes that I saved last year?, Not sure If I like this new setup from Food Network.
Better than my mama’s fried chicken (and that’s saying a lot. Bring back the show! I miss Big Daddy!
