One must show off the best and most attractive pieces, add a bit of appetizing garnish and serve it on a beautiful platter with pretty accessories. After all, the Miss America contestants don't just roll out of bed and show up in hair rollers, sweats and fuzzy slippers, do they?

Clearly, many of the people posting here only know fried chicken from KFC... This pan of fried bird looks delish.

It ain't Authentic Fried Chicken unless it's fried in lard. (And she lived to be about 95.)

Contrary to popular belief, the Colonel did not invent fried chicken in the South. My Great-Aunt Ruby did, along with fried okra. So there.

This is the chicken

This is the chicken they're referring to when people say that something "tastes like chicken" whether it's possum, rattlesnake or whatever.
