Chicken fried steak = Steak cooked like chicken. Chicken fried chicken = chicken cooked like chicken.<br /><br />It's still sounds ridiculous.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17866627809585257034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-33076139566747314202009-07-15T16:33:21.989-04:002009-07-15T16:33:21.989-04:00Chicken-fried chicken isn't quite so redundund...Chicken-fried chicken isn't quite so redundundant as it sounds, and Banquet didn't coin the term - it appears on many restaurant menus throughout the south. The origin, I think:<br /><br />Breaded fried tenderized round steak is called chicken-fried, as it's coated with starch and cooked in abundant oil (as opposed to pan-fried, which would be uncoated meat cooked in a dry or nearly dry pan); then a white gravy is made with the drippings, as with fried chicken.<br /><br />Chicken-fried chicken then became the term for chicken treated as though it were chicken-fried steak (i.e., fried using those techniques and ingredients); to be distinguished from (the much superior regular) fried chicken, which we all know and love.Michaelnoreply@blogger.com
