KFC and All Fried Chicken

Tin Can Sailor asked:


I know I am doing about the same thing. I use flour, salt, pepper and buttermilk. I fry mine in lard. But grandma had a can on the back of the stove that she would get the grease out of. I think it was a mixture of bacon grease, lard and other fat from frying. Anyone out there that may be older than I am who can tell me what was in there. This all goes back to the days before everyone was afraid of not refrigarating everything. I am talking about back to the days of wood burning stoves and no refrigrator.
I guess I was not really clear. I have the same recipe. I guess what I was asking is the difference because of the grease my grandma used, from the can on the back of the stove that I do not know what all is in it.
Bacon grease and what else? I am sure that makes a lot of difference in the taste.

If I want Famous Amos® Chocolate Chip Cookies. I’ll got to Top Secret Recipes.
