On The Front Burner
I Editor's Note: On the front
[Burner will be a regular feature in
\The News-Journal, and we need
[recipes. We have received a slew of
luggested fixins from a crowd of
culinary wizards in Cumberland
County, but we would like to have
some local favorites for the col
umn. After all, the way we hear it
when they set up Hoke County in
1911, all the cooks settled here.
Fried chicken has become an
American tradition at nearly every
tailgate picnic and the anticipation
!>f sinking one's teeth into a
delicious golden fried chicken leg
may just be the reason that the pre
game picnic for football fans is
almost as exciting as a football
game itself.
' Fried chicken is a great crowd
pleaser for any occasion because it
not only tastes great (hot or cold),
but it's easy to prepare and travels
well.
> And the tasty bird just seems to
add to the enjoyment when good
friends get together at the stadium
for fun and fellowship just before
the big game.
Nearly all poultry lovers have a
favorite recipe for fixing fried
chicken, but there are many varia
tions for preparing this all
American dish... all very tasty in
deed!
Try one of these delicious fried
chicken recipes offered by the NC
Poultry Federation for your next
pre-game picnic! One of them may
just become your new fried
chicken favorite!
