OT: Best Fried Chicken in Elizabeth
- Thread starter RU Husky
- Start date
This angle of this story reminded me of my fascianation with chicken joints named after presidents.
FYI, Kennedy Fried Chicken is said to be a mostly unaffiliated group of joints, but all run by Afghan natives.

I heard recently customers at First American Chicken in Elizabeth were complaining because it was taking too long for the food to come out. Apparently, they were down to one pressure cooker......
The guy behind the counter blew up at me when I asked if I could borrow his phone. Jeez.
Should we recommend this place to BIG visitors who are looking for good place to eat?
If you want great fried chicken, trust this Southern man, do it yourself. It's not hard.
Use 3 large paper grocery bags, one inside each other. Dump 5 cups flour into the bag. 1/2 cup kosher salt. 1/3 cup coarse ground black pepper. 2 tablespoons garlic powder. 2 tablespoons onion powder. Shake the bag well.
Get your oil to 325-350 degrees. Not anything more. Marinate the chicken pieces in buttermilk. Pull them out and drop them in the bag. No more than 4 pieces at a time. Shake the bag well. Pull the pieces of chicken out and gently place them in the oil. Cook, uncovered, until the crust browns on the bottom and then gently turn it over. Usually about 10 minutes. Cook another 10 minutes or until all sides are browned. Placed on paper towels and drain of any excess oil. Salt and pepper, if you need to.
Send me an email and tell me how much you liked it!!!

I will try Southern Gent. One question - need to use cast iron pan or regular skillet will do? Haven't had good fried chicken in forever.
I heard this recipe is the Bomb. It's a sure fire recipe unlike the one they use at First American Chicken.

Oh, once things calm down a bit, they'll be getting lots of new clientele from Paterson.
You better think, think about what you are trying to do to me!
You can go on and get out of here without your whole fried chickens and without your white toast.
Jake, Elwood! Those fools still owe you money.
Ding ding ding you and Union.
Four fried chickens.. and a coke. And dry white toast
Maybe his parents thought that he went to see family. That's where they are from. That does happen. How long was he there.
Going for a week or 2 is probably not enough to raise suspicion of attending a terrorist training camp. Was he out of contact with his parents for an extended period of time. Most parents don't recognize the early signs of troubles with their kids for many reasons.
Either way, I am assuming that the parents had no idea of what the kid was doing or the Police you would be hearing about more scrutiny of them by now.

I typically use cast iron as the heat is spread evenly across the pan. I also use a Dutch oven filled with 4 inches of canola or peanut oil. I like to cook outside so the oil flavors do NOT permeate the home.
Yea but the opening line is Jake: "Got any Fried Chicken?" So yes I was correct, didn't want to give away the answer so quick, I've seen that movie at least a dozen times.
And........ To make chicken gravy..........dump the remaing flour/spice mixture into the oil after the chicken had been cooked and removed. Take those"cracklin's" to a skillet, drop them in the skillet with a tablespoon of butter, stir well, and then slowly add milk while whisking. Add enough milk to fill 2/3 of the sauce pan and whisk like your life depends on it! It will thicken over medium high heat. Add kosher salt and a dash of pepper to taste. Perfect over mashed potatoes or homemade biscuits! Or even home fries!
I really just need to move to Jersey and start cooking for y'all!!!!!
I gotta order some pork roll and/or Taylor ham(depending on which part of Jersey that you sure from) for breakfast with hard rolls and eggs.
