I do not fry chicken / myLot

Or I should say I have not fried chicken in a very long time. I did this evening.I do not have an air fryer or insta pot, just a stove and a skillet. With it we had mashed potatoes and white gravy. I also served a Bird'sEye blend of carrots, broccoli, snow peas and water chestnuts. We ate sliced tomatoes. I probably will not fry things a lot, but this is so good. I am glad the weather cooled enough for me to want to fry chicken. I think I am ready for a food coma, or at least a nap.

I also do not have an air fryer, but food fried in a skillet on a stove is still the best.

There may be more of us without an air fryer than I thought.

@GardenGerty - I bought one, tried it as soon as back home and brought it back to the store!

@GardenGerty We don't have an air fryer either. Like @LadyDuck, we bought one but only used it once.

I think this blend would be good with oriental food as well.

@GardenGerty There is an oriental stir-fry mix that we buy and a couple of others.

I loved fry chicken but I cannot do that because my living room is a link to my kitchen. It get oily if I do so. So what I do will be to oven the chicken instead.

I have baked oven fry chicken in the past and I really understand about the grease in the air from frying foods.

I refuse to fry chicken or bacon. I'll bake chicken but won't fry it because the grease from frying it always pops me and I hate that. I will buy fried chicken, once in a while. I LOVE fried chicken. (Price Cutter, the more expensive store here in our city makes a really good fried chicken but we rarely buy it because it's expensive.) I will buy chicken strips from Price Cutter but it's hard to talk Pretty into chicken strips. She'll eat a chicken strip once in a blue moon and claims I don't need chicken strips as often as I want them.

Your dinner sounds good.

I will bake bacon, or chicken, etc. I do not generally like frying. I like Pizza Ranch fried chicken. Have you ever been there? It is a buffet with fried chicken, and also pizzas, and desserts and salad bar. Great coffee, too.

@GardenGerty I won't bake bacon, either. I tell Pretty the only bacon we can buy is already cooked bacon. I baked bacon once and had a big mess in the oven that I had to clean up. I'm surprised it didn't catch on fire. We don't Pizza Ranch here. Or, if we do, I've never seen one.
