I once had fried chicken from the iconic chef Jasper White from the Summer Shack Fame about 15 years ago and at the time it was the best I have ever had by a landslide. We talked about the recipe and although I am sure he didn’t tell me everything, he told me enough to be able to come up with my own version of it. So here it is… I present to you the best fried chicken EVER.
