What is your secret to making good crispy fried chicken? I've tried for many many years, many many recipes, but my chicken still isn't right.

My Moms pot roast. Her secret? Go read the paper until it's almost burned. Man was that good.
Grits/Polenta
Thanks for the help with my grits question. I guess I was in too much of a hurry and that's why they weren't smooth.
PS, Penelope, I do have Red Mill Stoneground grits.

Help.........need advice on making good fried chicken.
I fry either in peanut oil or canola oil. I marinate in buttermilk for at least 4 hours, then shake off the excess, dip in flavored flour, and put into oil heated to 350. I do keep cooked chicken in a 200 oven if it doesn't all fit in the pan. I use either a cast iron skillet or my electric skillet. I don't notice any difference in them. I've had the best luck with self-rising flour.
I want that bite to caruunch when I eat it.......lol. Marianne

Glad to see someone other than me is a little disturbed about their banter. Thought it was my age....lol. I made their barbeque sauce and it was one of the best ever, as I don't like smokey flavoring.
Grits/Polenta
I recently bought a bag of stoneground grits, but I can't seem to get them to be smooth. Any secrets for this Northern gal? Will cooking them longer make them smooth, or will they always have a gritty consistency?

Down Home With The Neely's Dilemma!
I personally dont mind the neely's...they're real. Its not just -mix this add that bake it and bam theres ur dish- They're obvisouly very happy together. But just to see a married couple laughing and cooking together is so great. Theres nothing wrong with her calling him bid daddy or whatever. So What! They're always smiling laughing and sometimes they are a -pick me up- And they get their food cooked. This is what cooking is about....it's what makes it fun. I hate standing over the stove by myself quitely cooking. it nice to chat and what not, it makes u WANT to be standing over that hot stove. And for all of you that want them off the air because they love each other too much, ur crazy. They r happy with each other and not ashamed to show the world how they feel. And thats probably y their food comes out so good. So dont hate. You all sound like u haven't had love like that b4. cuz if u did u should understand. Its a new day, n worse things r on tv. This is real love. watch it and enjoy it.

This show is no surprise to me. It is just another affirmation that FN is going
down hill rapidly.

I kinda wish I had FN just to se what is going on. :) To bad they don't stream the shows online like the networks do.

I am African American and am embarrassed by the Neely's. It should be a show you could watch with your parents, grandparents and children. Gina's spice fairy routine is annoying. Her banter especially when she said her grandmother told her how to get a man "here(heart), here(stomach) and "down there" was so repulsive! I do enjoy Pat's quiet manner. I think they can cook a lot more than just BBQ. Their Road Tasted with the Neely's shows some great places but Gina trying to be the center of everyone's attention makes the show a loser. I was hoping the show would be a positive portrayal of a middle to upper class African American family who lives in a nice house, works hard and enjoys cooking. If I wanted to hear about their "passion" I would think that would be on a different channel.
Paula Deen used to be a favorite but she and Gina are the same ... too vulgar and it is very uncomfortable to watch.

@RoseL ~ I can only speak for myself, but as a person fascinated by food, there is ZERO room on my DVR for Fake reality television. Go figure.....

I LOVE the Neely's. Their playful banter comes across as 100% genuine. I don't know how anyone can be grossed out by it or find it inappropriate. It's a beautiful thing to me to see a married couple who obviously adore each other. Funny.....people don't seem to be bugged by the psycho personalities and disgusting behavior on some of these reality shows, yet when a MARRIED couple show some passion, they get upset? Go figure.

TVFN has a terrible habit of confusing the word "chef" with "cook."
Down Home With The Neely's Dilemma!
Another Foodnetwork classic example of putting people in front of the camera who think they are entertainers instead of teachers. What I have learned lately is that some home "chefs" have graduated from this level of questionable education and move on. There are so many good cooking shows on PBS (and a few on FoodNW). We need only point our remote control at our TV and move on to what pleases us.

I have been watching the Neely's since the beginning. Overtime, I have found Gina to be far too anoying. I have noticed that Pat tries to tell some small stories about certain dishes, and immediately Gina cuts him off. I do enjoy watching him. I get the feeling that if he does not indulge Gina in her need for attention, he will have hell to pay. I love the recipes. Can someone just ask Miss Gina to tone it down, so we don't have to turn them off.

Back when Giada first came on, my then 21 year old college son told me it was "soft porn" and that he never missed it. His affection for Giada turned into a genuine love of cooking. She was never trashy or overtly sexual: the camera work and the pace of the show made it sensual.
