Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

Yesterday Son Donald came home from his shift at a grocery and said the store was having a sale on fried chicken all weekend.  I filed that information for future reference.  Donald and Hubby Tony are in charge of Sunday dinner.  Whoever comes up with the main dish idea plans the cooking strategy.

When I mentioned the sale to him, Tony decided it would be a great idea to take advantage of it, so last night he and I stopped by the store and picked up a bucket. After lunch today he and Donald figured out the side dishes, then they went to the store and bought the missing ingredients.  Shortly before it was time for dinner they heated the chicken in the oven, then put it on the table along with mashed potatoes, gravy, and cole slaw.    In the midst of all their preparations I learned from a friend's Facebook wall that July 6th is National Fried Chicken Day.  Who knew?

We enjoyed our Fried Chicken Day meal, and we'll continue the celebration tomorrow night when we eat the leftovers.

  1. How funny! Every Sunday, I go to my mom's. She told me in advance that she would be making chicken for dinner because it was on sale at the grocery store. I didn't realize that it was fried chicken day though!

    1. Sounds like your mom's ESP might have been working :-) Hope YOUR chicken dinner was tasty.

  2. I love fried chicken, really good fried chicken, now and then. However, because of all factory-farmed chicken to which I am opposed, I am really picky about where I buy fried chicken. Our Whole Foods has it occasionally, close to 4th of July and Labor Day. I bought 3 pieces for us the other day and it was so good.

    1. Funny you should mention WF. That's where we got ours from, too. Somehow in my editing that detail got left out.
