Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Old-fashioned fried chicken proves that simple techniques can yield absolutely mouthwatering results. The chicken is equally good hot from the pan or cold as a picnic treat.
  • tip 2
    As the chicken fries, turn it gently with tongs to avoid piercing the skin. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate lined with several layers of paper toweling to absorb excess grease.
  • tip 3
    Serve the chicken with corn on the cob, homemade potato salad, dinner rolls, and sliced tomatoes and cucumbers drizzled with a garlicky vinaigrette. End the meal with watermelon wedges or slices of chocolate cake.
