ShakeNBake2When I was a kid, my parents liked Kentucky Fried Chicken (a brief note here: my parents were part of the “gourmet” movement of the 70s – the precursor to today’s “foodies”, yet they have an appreciation for fast food – go figure) but it was a luxury we couldn’t afford often. So my mom went about making her own. Her recipe is a bit vaguer than mine. “Put some flour in a bag and dump in a whole bunch of different herbs and spices.” She also uses chicken with skin on it while I prefer boneless, skinless breasts. This is my version of mom’s chicken.
