What's your recipe for Fried Chicken? I'm looking for a real good one to try. I feel like I'm missing something everytime I'm cooking it. It taste good but not where I want it to be.

my favorite way to make it is more of an islander way. this is what i do. season some bread crumbs with lots of fresh thyme, green onions and parsley and about half a T of salt and some fresh pepper. then i take the chicken and dredge it in flower, then put it in some eggwash with hot sauce in it and then last the bread crumbs and throw it in the fryer.

if you want a more traditional fried chicken just season up some flower with emeril's essence. you can make it yourself if you want but it's cheap and mad convenient. i use it alot.

France, I typed a 6 sentence spill and deleted it, I'll save you guys the rant, but as the so called food capital of the world, it sucks here.

The best burger I've ever had in my life, from fast food and restaurant was, wait for it.. A Big n Tasty at a McDonalds in Bulgaria, joint looked exactly like the picture and the beef, my God.. Best beef I've ever had in my entire life.

It's a burger place and i've heard the burgers are good. I heard the fries suck though which would be disappointing.

I live in cali and its average at best. People out here make a big deal out of them but the burgers are just average to me. Nothing more nothing less. Fries are trash even if you have it well done or animal style. I honestly would rather go to smashburger or a local burger joint.
 
All self-posted pics, repped.

I have yet to try Peruvian and Indian food :\, heard nothing but good things about it though.

Peruvian food is great. Restaurants have the green sauce that I put on all my food.
