Whether straight from the bucket or served on a platter, fried chicken hits the spot no matter the season or occasion. It’s one of those foods that’s loaded with nostalgia – fried chicken’s savory, herby aroma wafting from a nearby drive-through joint or a neighbor’s open window is enough to inspire an intense craving that can only be satisfied with a homemade plate of fried chicken. The crunchy, salty skin and tender, juicy meat make for an unparalleled and instantly recognizable burst of flavor.Author: Duke's Kitchen
