Gosh I love this pie. I’m pretty sure it started with dad’s mom, Trini. My dad then invented his own version of it, and later I invented mine. It’s kind of become a thing in our family to have your own version of this pie. On the surface, it’s a basic recipe, but it really lends itself to riffing and customization. Have fun!

I’ve always wanted to be able to make my own fried chicken, southern-style. It started when I found out how horrid a company Chick‍-‍fil‍-‍A^® is, and I tried making their style of chicken at home. It evolved from there, and by now I have a recipe I can happily call my own, which I absolutely love to make and eat.
