Fried chicken...

Jeg ved hvad du tænker.. Kan det virkelig passe at dette indlæg handler om friturestegt kylling?! 

Ja! Det gør det, og det er et emne som helt sikkert har brug for sit helt eget indlæg!

Fried chicken er kæmpe stort her i syden. I kender sikkert kylletter, Kentucky Fried Chicken eller chicken McNuggets fra McDonalds.

Det er ingeting sammenlignet med den overflod af muligheder der i virkeligheden er med friturestegt kylling - og frituren generelt. 

Når jeg er til Rotarymøder om onsdagen er der altid - ALTID - et fad med fried chicken. Det er altså en uundgåelig og næsten uundværlig del af et måltid hernede. 

F.eks. har en af skolens to cafeterier lige annonceret at de fremover vil servere fried chicken HVER DAG. 

Der er selvfølgelig mange andre ting at vælge imellem, men det er muligt at spise fried chicken hver dag :-) 

Fried chicken er godt, men jo desværre ikke særlig sundt, og slet ikke hver dag. Så på de fleste restuaranter kan du selvfølgelig også vælge en salat med fried chicken... 

Og nu vi er ved fried, så kan man jo heldgivis putte alt i frituren - eller den gyldne brønd om man vil. F.eks. cheesecake, oreo, is, og cola. Disse har jeg dog stadig til gode at prøve :-)

I know what you are thinking.. Can it really be true that this post is about fried chicken?!

Yes! It is, and it is a topic that requires it's very own blog post!

Fried chicken is huge here in the South. In Denmark we have a few varieties that we know from KFC and McDonalds, but it is nothing to compare to the Southern style, and it is really nothing compare to the many opportunities there are for fried chicken - and fried stuff in general. 

When I attend the Rotary meetings on Wednesdays there is always - ALWAYS - a tray with fried chicken. It is an inevitable and almost indispensable part of a meal down here. 

For instance, one of the dining hall on campus recently announced that from now on, they will be serving fried chicken EVERY day. 

Of course there are still other options, but you can eat fried chicken every day if you want to. 

Fried chicken is good, but as we all now, unfortunately not very healthy, and especially not every day. So in most restaurants you can choose a fried chicken salad instead...

Speaking of fried, there are luckily a lot more stuff you can fry - or put in the "golden wishing well" as we call it in Danish. Examples are cheesecake, oreo, icecream and coke - all of which I have yet to try :-)
