I made something delicious last night and this was it! I followed the recipe exactly, made rice and collard greens and boy was this good! Thanks for a fantastic yummy recipe! -
So good and so fattening :) But who cares, sometimes you just have to splurge and splurge we did. We loved every bite too! We had along side mashed potatoes, coleslaw and angel biscuits to sop up the gravy. So good! -
This was very good. I added some extra spices also, as my husband and I do like things with a little tinge to them. I also used 2% milk for the gravy instead of water and it worked out good. I'm originally from Alabama and my Momma always used milk to make the gravy. Yum! Yum! This is certainly a keeper and makings for many more happy meals. Thanks! -

This recipe was DEELICIOUS!!! I loved it!! I added some more spices to the flour mixture, some onion powder, old bay and some fired chicken seasoning. Also, instead of using plain flour for the gravy I used the flour mixture, it gave the gravy some serious flavor!! I know I am going to make this dish over and over again! The gravy was excellent for the mashed taters I made as a side. I definatly recommend that everyone try this recipe! It should be on the first page for "fried chicken"!! -
