Chicken Doesn't Always Have to Be Fried:A Public Service Announcement

That's what I've been told, by other people, of other races

I've even heard a few tell me they don't like Fried Chicken...at all

"It's too greasy"
"I don't like the taste"

Each protest against fried chicken was like someone saying there is no God. Each proclaimation stabbed my soul til I lay on the sidewalk bleeding.

And then I realized, there are many other ways of eating chicken.

I, Myself as a child, never liked fried chicken. I prefered Chicken Pot Pies. I don't think I had a favorable Fried Chicken experience until I was 11. This Filipino man took over the 7-11 in Whiskey Glutch(RIP) right next to the Laundromat. The chicken was so hot, so non greasy, so fresh that I swear he must have slaughtered the bird behind the counter.

But I never got the appeal, other than ease, to partake in KFC, Popeyes or Church's chicken. It's never as good as homemade Fried Chicken.

And, Black folks, there are other ways of eating Chicken
even other ways of frying chicken!

Like, you can use seasoned breadcrumbs, which cuts down on the salt content!

I love baked Chicken, and I know you do too! You can cook it with white and/or red wine and it's just as juicy as fried chicken!

You can boil chicken in water and/or chicken stock. strip it of the bones and make Jumbalaya, Chicken Salad or Chicken pot pie.

Chicken doesn't always have to be fried!
