Chicken: It’s kid-approved, quick to make, and super easy to pull off great flavor. Especially now that it’s open season in the South for carefree entertaining, i.e. outdoor grilling!
Cast-iron cookware has been the touchstone of Southern food and hospitality for generations, creating perfectly fried chicken and cornbread so crisp you can hear it crackle when cut. No kitchen south of the Mason-Dixon Line would be complete without it. “Seasoning” is the process of oiling and heating cast iron to protect its porous surface from moisture.
