Nice surprise

Well, instead of just bitching I guess I should also mention one very nice surprise I had tonight.  It was this dish I made tonight... I've made many times before, but tonight it was much better than usual.  It's my local version of the Buffalo Wings I like very much.  Tonight the result was much closer to the original, except for the lack of bones, which of course is a plus!

What I did different tonight is coat the chicken in flour twice.  The first time was a couple of hours before supper, put as much flour (plus the condiments) as the meat will hold.  Then let it stand in the fridge until shortly before frying time.  Then at dinner time, while I'm heating the oil, add some more flour again (only flour this time); as much as the meat will hold.  This way although it's brownish outside, inside it's juicy.

Then the butter coating instead of being plain melted butter, it's melted butter with plenty of oregano!  Ummm, absolutely yummy!
