I promised the kids I'd make fried chicken tonight

[MissMillie]

but I'm sooooo tired. How am I going to get out of this?

[nickgutierrez]

1. Buy fried chicken instead.

:)

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. Then I'm coming to your place!

Do you fry it southern style in a cast iron skillet?

Man, I haven't had home made fried chicken for probably 20 years.

I'm coming over!!!!

[MissMillie]

4. I use an eletric skillet

and I save the stove top for mashed potatoes and gravy, and a vegetable of some sort (probably either green beans or carrots tonight).

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. Electric works just fine, too!

Mashed potatoes and gravy?

:woohoo:

I'm gettin' in the car!

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

3. buy it at a store....

and put it in one of your serving tray

6. Fried chicken isn't labor intensive

:shrug:

[MissMillie]

7. When you're already tired

PB&J is labor intensive.

9. If they're old enoug to eat it

they're old enough to help.

Let them help you.

10. Kids helping is often more work than doing it yourself.

[MissMillie]

11. They're definitely old enough to help

You know, it's not so much the cooking, but the clean-up.

8. Buy some Popeyes!

Or tell the kids "No chicken. Fucking deal with it you little bastards!"

[Telly Savalas]

12. It's quicker to use corn flakes as breading

:hide:

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. You clueless bastard!!

Only (insert your own despised culture/race/species) use cornflakes!

:P

[JVS]

16. Frosted Flakes forever!

[MissMillie]

15. uh-oh.....

wasn't this a flame war a few months back?

No hijacking my thread for a flame war!!!!!

[JI7]

14. hot wings from kfc

i know it's not very healthy but it is good.

[XNASA]

17. I made Southern Fried Chicken last night.

It only takes 12 minutes a side. Though I admit, there is a lot of prep work.

BTW, I make the best fried chicken in the world.

And no corn flakes.

[MissMillie]

18. yeah, I'm probably just going to buck up and do it

and let the kids do the dishes afterwards

No fear, I won't use cornflakes. I use flour, and I'll add some seasonings to the flour to make it tasty.

There are a few corn on the cob left from last night.... sliced tomato, and mashed potatoes w/ gravy.
