My mom made oven fry chicken. It came in a box and you dipped the chicken pieces in it, then drizzled the sheet pan with oil and baked. I always liked the breast and wing, I never and still don't like the thigh or leg.
Well, my silly jokes aside, I liked the drumsticks as a kid, but I started to really dislike the tendons and such tissue. Now I prefer the breast because it is pure solid meat. The flavor isn't that much different to me.
The skin is the best though, when it's fried crispy.
Of course, my mother stopped frying chicken when shake and bake came out, which wasn't quite as good.
When you were growing up, which piece did you want plus others in your family? My dad wanted a breast as did my older brother, Mother had wings and liver and younger brother the pully bone piece. I wanted the back and gizzard. After that, the remaining parts were up for grabs.
I ate the back too. I thought I was the only one! I don't eat backs anymore, though. Now I eat the wings. My mom fried check in a cast iron skillet. No restaurant chicken and no chicken I make tastes the same. She used Crisco. Does anyone use that anymore? Probably not.
What, exactly, is the "back?" When I break-down a chicken there is no meat on what is left - I even get the "oysters" with the thighs. Is there a particular way to break-down the chicken and leave meat on the back?
Man, I miss my mom's fried chicken.
I like dark meat so I liked the legs and thighs and mom went for the wings and breast.
Dad and sis didn't have any preference.
