Ok, I give up. I can admit defeat. I am incapable of performing the simple task of frying chicken. It does not matter what temperature it is frying at or how long it sits there in the pan, the middle will not cook unless the outside has been thoroughly scorched and removed of all tasty flavor. Three times I have had to stop frying and put the stupid chicken in the oven for twenty minutes so that all nasty Campylobacter, et all, will die a hot, horrible death. I think this is God's way of saying, "Holly, thou shalt NOT eat fried chicken." But I WILL prevail. Fried chicken is good and just because I didn't grow up in the South does not mean that I can't eat it. It just means I can't cook it.

No fried chicken for YOU!

Hey Babe, so when do I get to taste this delictable delight? you know I'll eat anything :-)
La Mama
Actuall, you were born in the south, henisphere that is :-)
Hey, it just means you don't have the pan hot enough, gorgeous. I don't mean it's got to be smoking, but it does have to be hot enough to cook the inside, especially if the chicken still has the bones in it.
I also agree with anony mouse that you were doubly born in the south--Southern Hemisphere and South America. I gues that means that you should also be able to cook empanadas (yummy).
Hodster: I think you just don't have the pan hot enough, unless you're trying to cook it too quickly. Like anony mouse, I, too, think that it should come naturally. You were born in the Southern Hemisphere (like da sista), but also in South America. Maybe that also means you should be able to do empanadas (yummy).
