Who enjoys fried chicken?
Fun lunchtime fact: before industrialized chicken production became commonplace, people ate fried chicken in the spring, made with young chickens. Older chickens do not get tender enough in the short cooking time and high heat used for frying.
Here’s a photo from the Truman Library’s historic food series of John Steelman, Assistant to the President, eating fried chicken with his wife (center) and another woman.
Have good lunch!
