I can fry chicken..and have been since I was a kid, but I can't make it
to suit myself...and am afraid it's because I have my mouth set for old
home grown fryers like we had when I was growing up....I sometimes get
the fresh ice pack chickens and they taste different ,
anyhow....Sometimes I dip the pieces in boiling water before rolling in
seasoned flour..

Biscuits are easier...Just start out with White Lily self rising
unbleached flour and use your favorite recipe or follow the one on the
bag....I use Pet milk, Crisco or Kroger vegetable shortening, and add a
TBL of sugar.....Don't know if that's in the recipe or not...Don't mess
with the dough no more than you have to...I lay each biscuit in the
melted butter type shortening I use in the old black pans and then turn
it over right away.....Jeannie T
