It was either fried in lard or the bacon grease that she collected each morning. She had a big tin can of bacon grease above the stove that was always being used and added to.
I think it was all fried in bacon grease. I think she'd also make some little slices in each piece of chicken. Then it went into a buttermilk bath and the flour and spices. There was a noticeable difference in the bite.
Only thing I'd do to it was add some drops of hot sauce.
That lovely woman could fry the hell outta some chicken and no one in the family was able to carry on this legacy.

I still have one!
Old school canning used bacon grease for a cap so when you cooked it later everything was there to cook, no waste.

Kinda cheating, but I will allow it (hard to fault bacon)
