Chicken fried steaks next weekend it is
This is the way!
I loved the banter yesterday when Barkley was talking getting "southern fried steaks" in Houston, and Kenny Smith told him to go to a really fine steakhouse, order their best steak, and tell them to chicken-fry it.Chicken fried steaks next weekend it is
Serious question. Any idea why it's called chicken fried steak when it's not chicken?I loved the banter yesterday when Barkley was talking getting "southern fried steaks" in Houston, and Kenny Smith told him to go to a really fine steakhouse, order their best steak, and tell them to chicken-fry it.
"They'll really love you for that."

Chicken fried steak is fried like chicken but served with mash, gravy and corn. If good it's peppery. I love it!It's because the breading/batter used is the same as what's used for fried chicken. Chicken fried steak is cube steak. You have to do a lot to make cube steak edible.

That's the only "steak" my parents could afford for our large family. A step up from boot leather.That's about the only way cube steak is any good. It's a poor man's Wienerschnitzel (basically same thing, but veal instead of cube steak).

Correct, but these days it can be brined to tenderize and keep it moist. and sometimes it’s tastier than more expensive cuts. If the gravy they make is good that is a big key. This was Mickey Mantle’s favorite dish, I had it at his restaurant in Manhattan year ago,That's about the only way cube steak is any good.

Haven’t had it since the mess hall, but it was edible.Chicken fried steak is fried like chicken but served with mash, gravy and corn. If good it's peppery. I love it!
