Fried chicken for dinner

[GirlinContempt]

I'm making fried chicken for dinner, but I'm out of eggs. Think butter will work to make the breading stick?

[trof]

1. milk

[GirlinContempt]

2. Milk?

Are you sure?

[trof]

5. Sure, if you're dredging in flour.

Dip in milk, dredge in flour, according to my resident expert, miz t.

[Rabrrrrrr]

16. preferably buttermilk

In fact, marinate the chicken in the buttermilk for a day, which obviously you can't do now, but yes, buttermilk (or even regular milk) is the way to go with fried chicken.

31. As usual, Rabrrrrrr is correct. Buttermilk is the way to go.

But regular milk will do in a pinch.

[Left Is Write]

40. Yes. With buttermilk, the chicken will be tender and juicy.

[Rabrrrrrr]

42. Mmm, yes. Like Alex Trebek's ass.

I don't know where that came from.

[Left Is Write]

43. I don't know where that came from either...

but it nauseated me a little.

4. buttermilk will work

Not sure about butter.

[trof]

6. Even better than "sweet" milk, if ya got it on hand.

[ghostsofgiants]

7. On that note, I'm coming over for supper.

[GirlinContempt]

12. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

[xmas74]

8. it will but milk would be better.

make your own buttermilk: add one TBSP lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes.

[GirlinContempt]

13. hmmmmm ok

[xmas74]

15. Works great for buttermilk biscuits.

I use it instead of purchasing buttermilk or the buttermilk powder.

[trof]

17. Yep, that works.

I've done it.

[xmas74]

24. I'm a baker by trade.

I can guarantee that this works. Makes great buttermilk biscuits w/o having a couple of quarts left in your refridgerator to spoil.

9. Mix flour and water.

Not too thin and not too thick. Dip the chicken in that and then in your breading. It works better than eggs, IMHO.

[SofaKingLiberal]

23. That works good.

The last couple times I used pancake mix as a batter. MMMHM!

[GirlinContempt]

25. Oh hey cool that sounds like it would work!

:)

[GirlinContempt]

34. I tried that, worked great!

:D

[azmouse]

35. Glad I could help.

How was the chicken and even more important.... did you save any for me? :)

[GirlinContempt]

36. Sorry, just made enough for myself

I'm selfish that way ;)

29. I'm the wrong person to ask

The few times I have attempted to make fried chicken or fried catfish I have nearly succeded in torching the house.

If God had meant for humans to cook fried chicken at home, he wouldn't have created Popeyes!

Mmmmm...Popeyes.

[xmas74]

32. Oven bake it instead.

I never fry my chicken.

37. OH SHIT...
