| - I know i'm super late to the party BUT! I have actually been making this fried chicken from the recipe that the Toronto Star published a couple of years back (google it). I advertise my fried chicken making abilities on OkCupid, between that and my milk shakes, I bring a LOT of boys to my yard. This is the Stockyards, I am the Stackedyards! Yaaaas, this Double D bitch sizzles that chicken to perfection, moist on the inside, crispy on the outside.
Btw, the recipe is actually easier to make than you think but it's time consuming what with the brining process. And the only scary part is getting the oil the right temperature. There's something else but I like to have my secrets,
I've been dying to try the original to see if mine "stacks" up but I'm never in that neck of the woods, except for today. I had a job interview near Yorkdale which went very badly, thank you very much. I felt like I was being interrogated with rhetorical questions by a tiny, ugly Russian man: "What do you know?" He kept saying over and over. I don't..... know.....anything.....I got that dry mouth thing happening, all I knew is I needed to fly out of there and get out of those panty hose and into sweatpants. There were cops blocking the highway though, so I took the scenic route down Dufferin and across St. Clair, which how I remembered my life's vow to try Stockyards fried chicken.
So yes. I am thrilled to tell you: MINE IS AS GOOD! And this really and truly is the best fried chicken ever. Nice winning touch here: the hot sauce dip! smart thin fries (as opposed to my dumb fat fries), and a lil bit of vinegary coleslaw to cleanse the palate. But! my coleslaw is better, it is creamy, as all good things should be.
