Well, I just gone done coating up all my chicken and letting it rest, after making sure to leave it out for a good hour. I'm going to attempt fried chicken again, don't remember the last time I tried. I got a whole chicken and cut it up, tried to find the smallest one I could. The thighs and legs seem small enough to get done, kinda worried about the breasts, they're huge.
Instead of worrying about keeping the temp at the usual range I aim for, I'm going to go a bit lower so I can cook it for longer periods. Start with the smallest pieces first and see how done they get, if all of it gets done right, I'll try one breast traditional way and see how done it gets, if it's not done, I'll try the double/triple fry thing and then can compare the results. If the smallest pieces don't get done right, I'll start the multiple frying on those.
I don't have anything but a very small cast iron skillet. I've wanted a good sized dutch oven for a while, but they're expensive. First thing I'm doing differently this time is using a much larger pot and more oil. It's not quite cast iron heavy, but it's not thin Walmart stuff either. Either way wish me luck.
Well I was able to do the smaller pieces and the medium sized ones with multiple frying. The breasts were simply just too big, should've deboned them, but I wanted that authenticity. Having to finish them in the oven. At least I know I can do thighs, legs and wings (never really had a problem with wings though).

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline
