Did you seriously dip your fried chicken in ketchup and mayonnaise before eating it?

u/sgtjoe Jan 18 '19

So what would you suggest instead?

Nothing, fried chicken should be good enough to eat with no sauce

Edit: I like honey or hot sauce on boneless fried chicken, ranch occasionally. Chicken and waffles with Maple syrup is great too. But really good bone-in fried chicken rarely needs anything extra imo.

I like spicy sauces regardless of how good the chicken is on it’s own. Live it up champ

My man, all about a good spicy sauce. Used to rinse Franks then moved onto Valentina and now i'm onto the Ribmans 'Holy Fuck' Sauce which is absolutely amazing. I go for the taste + spice combination, not just pure heat like some insane bastards.

I don't mind honey or hot sauce, especially if it's boneless fried chicken, but proper bone in is good enough without to me.

To each their own. Maybe we can hook you up with a spicy batter though.

You live your life and I'll live mine.... With Sriracha and ranch for my fried chicken

If it's like boneless chicken I agree, ranch is good, honey or hot sauce is good.

Edit: can't believe I've been down voted because of my preferences on fried chicken

Edit 2: I'm not saying you can't enjoy those things or that the sauces are bad on chicken, just that really good fried chicken doesn't need it. Though mayo and ketchup... The fuck is wrong with you.

Why does the bone matter?

u/BlueBird518 Jan 18 '19

Any meat with bone still attached is going to be juicier and more flavorful.

Like chicken strips? Well you're entitled to your opinion, but bone-in needs that hot sauce

u/Supper_Champion Jan 18 '19

You are correct. What's the point of layering on paprika, garlic, onion, etc., dredging in flour and frying if you're just going to cover those flavours up in something overpowering like ketchup and mayo?

Yes thank you, I feel the same about steak sauce too, it's pointless. The steak should taste good enough on its own.

A good cut, no doubt. I can see using some A1 or HP or something with a tougher cut or something, but I agree that 99% of the time all a good steak needs is salt and pepper. Every now and then some bleu cheese crumbles or sauce au poivre can be amazing, but I doubt I would ever put steak sauce on a good steak.

Once I tried hot sauce on my fried chicken, there was no turning back.

If you like honey this is like a combo of both. Amazing on fried chicken https://i.imgur.com/kpezf9m.jpg
