Chick-a-licious


I love fried chicken and try to prepare it at least once a year. The urge usually hits me during the hottest part of the summer when the heat and humidity are both way high. Nothing takes me back to my childhood like a plate of southern fried chicken and a mess of slow cooked vegetables. So in partnership with Pfizer, the manufacturer of LipitorĀ®, I present the I Just Had a Birthday and also Just Picked the First Ripe Tomato, Celebration Dinner!!!

The Menu:
*John T. Edge's Sweet Tea Fried Chicken. Special thanks to Brad for encouraging me to try this recipe. This is SO good. I can't wait to eat this the rest of the week.
*Green beans with new potatoes and yellow squash.
*Turnip Greens
*Fried Corn with jalapenos.

Sweet Tea Fried Chicken Visual Recap.

The chicken went into the sweet tea brine late Friday afternoon. The mixture was still warm so I added some ice.



You are looking at some deep fried lovin' here.



Right now I can hear the leftovers calling to me from the Fridge!.



Let's EAT!!!

Found you via Farmgirl. That fried chicken looks so good I can't stand it!!! It's so hot and humid in Toronto, too. I thought I was all clever having a salad for dinner. Now all I want is FRIED CHICKEN!

Found my way here from Jeph's blog, and I have to agree with everyone on the chicken. I've never made fried chicken myself, but this entry is inspiration!
