I am not going to start a Food Blog, there are too many excellent food blogs published. Dave and I do like to cook though, so I thought why not start taking photos of our creations.
Last summer we tried Alton Brown's fried chicken recipe. As with all of Alton's dishes, it's quite a process. We went out and bought all the required ingredients, cookware and utensils; like oil thermometer, holding racks, cast iron skillet, buttermilk and the herbs and spices for Alton's special seasoning shake (including a shaker to store it in!) We laid things out all over the kitchen counters but before we began the process... We went to the video tape. Yes, we taped the episode and studied it!! Losers, yes, but it was fun.
We managed all the dips and drops in and out of the buttermilk and seasonings. When the oil was at the required temperature we laid the chicken in just as instructed on the video.

Dave insisted the chicken stay in the hot oil for every second that Alton recommended and when we turned it, here was the result!
I took over at that point and took the chicken out after only a few more minutes on the other side. The final presentation wasn't too bad and the chicken was delicious!!
