Smothered Fried Chicken image

This is soooooooo good! It is fork tender and great served with buttered rice or mashed potatoes. Add green beans or collard greens with some cornbread or rolls, and you have a real southern meal.

I'm not a fan of smothered chicken, but this recipe was pretty good.

This recipe was a bit bland. I would recommend adding more spices next time.

The chicken was a little dry. I think I overcooked it.

This recipe was a little too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I used rotisserie chicken and it turned out great.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they were cooked perfectly.

This smothered fried chicken recipe is a keeper! The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the gravy was rich and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
