- Following a trip to the Culinary Arts Museum in Providence, RI, we wanted to make a diner classic - fried chicken. With a simple preparation, this chicken has a crispy exterior and is moist and tender on the inside. Perfect for picnics, Sunday supper or anytime you crave this essential American classic.
You know your love of these appliances, made America great! There was technical jobs for everyone, and if you were working class, you could better your life, educate yourself, and it was a wonderful time for America!
Most of these appliances were very well built and designed - it's a pleasure to keep using them! Thanks for watching!
I love that the Mamas and the Papas follow you outside.
+abcsd1254 Thanks - they are a favorite group, for sure!! Love to cook with their music! Thanks for watching!
Oh my, I wish this was smell-a-vision. That home fried chicken looks delightful.
I'm glad to see you made this the simple ' honest' way. So often, we forget how good chicken can taste on it's own. This makes me want to find an electric frying pan. I made so many wonderful meals in mine. It really did take a lot of guesswork out of cooking, and they hold so much more than your standard frying pan. I'm glad I found your channel.
KimG,there is a website,Toaster Central that has many vintage appliances made many years ago. it can be used as a stepping stone to what was made those many years ago,the Dormeyer deep fat fryer was the best back in the day,their deep fat fryer skillet was great as well,tho a bit cumbersome,it still worked quite well. if you watch old episodes of all in the family edith bunker had a Dormeyer stand mixer. I gave my doctor a 1934 toastmaster toaster that was a ten on the scale of 1-to-10,he wanted a sunbeam automatic,which is a great toaster,but when I gave him the toastmaster,which I said will dance circles around the sunbeam, he sent me the most eloquent thank you ever written... good luck on finding your electric skillet and please enjoy using it!!
Thank you, Kevin and Ralph! That was so interesting. My electric skillet has a Teflon coating. I hope it can still do the fried chicken you showed. We were passing through Rhode Island a few years back, but didn’t know J&W University had that museum. I’m so glad you showed it, since it isn’t open to the public. My husband loves to see coffee grinders and various coffee makers. I like to see all the old appliances, especially the old refrigerators. My mother found some old toasters before. It was so cheerful to see you cooking and eating outside. 😊
Great idea frying outside! Reminds me of when my great aunt had my dad hook up a stove outside her country home to fry up chickens when family came. And spaghetti too, lol. Thank you Kevin and Ralph for taking us along on your museum trip. I’ll have to show this to my dad.
Hi Donna - I love that your aunt put a stove outside for frying when company came! I always fry outside or in the garage. Thanks!
My mom would be proud of your chicken! Beautifully browned. She had 2 huge cast iron skillets going. She put the flour mixture in a brown bag, tossed the chicken pieces in & shook vigorously. She finished cooking it on a sheet pan in the oven. We were diner lovers as well. Could smell the old wonderful aromas associated with Pensacola diners from the 60s just watching your videos. So glad you included those Rhode Island shots as it brought back delightful memories.
Thanks, Sallie! I'll bet your mom's chicken fried in those cast iron skillets was wonderful! Thanks!
I can't remember the last time I fried chicken but now I have a hankering for some. I basically do mine the same way but add curry powder & poultry seasoning to my flour. So good!
Oh wow wish I could see the museum! The coffee makers! & All...That's a must see...the chicken looks delicious!
The chicken was yummy! Thanks!
Hi guys! I loved the diner tour and all the vintage appliance etc. That chicken looks fantastic, great idea to cook outdoors. Thank you for sharing
+FitAnge S Thanks, FitAnge!! Cooking it outside saved a lot of cleaning up ;-)
I can't tell you have much I LOVE your show! I just found your channel a couple of hours ago, and I've been binge-watching your shows since! I could listen to you fella's all day! And the background music is always fantastic! So glad I found you guys! 💐
+Catie and the Bo Peeps So glad you found us, too!! Thanks, Catie!!
15:38 Center section of the shelves, smack in the middle there is what looks like a shallow tin plate with 4 sets of wires bent in squarish shapes to form a squared off pyramid. The plate has holes in it to let heat up. It's a camping toaster. I have one of those, it was given to me by my aunt who used to have an RV. The wires fold down for easier storage, but when up, they sort of link together and you rest a slice of bread on each wire. The inside of them will toast up and at some point you turn the slices around to let the other side toast. My aunt would sometimes use it on a camp fire, but you can use it on a gas stove if your plug in toaster decides to quit. You might be able to use it on an electric stove if you have a wok ring. You need some space between the fire/heat source and the toaster plate.
That old toaster was part of the display at this wonderful museum of culinary arts in Providence, RI, which I now understand has since closed. I've never used one but I can see how they would do the job of toasting bread. I love to see the inventions people came up with to do different jobs! Thanks!
My birthplace, Wellsboro, PA, has the historic Wellsboro Diner, one of the original diner-car styles, still open today. Wellsboro is a great place to visit and see the PA Grand Canyon.
Hi Gary! I'd love to check out the Wellsboro Diner sometime and explore that are the next time I'm going through PA. Happy New Year!!
Kevin, we still have a few old, authentic diners that are still operating in the Kansas City area. The most famous is Town Topic--still in its tiny building from 1937. The place is a time warp because it hasn't changed one bit. Up the street from me is Hayes Hamburgers--same tiny diner from 1955 and it's like time stood still. In Independence, MO, there's Mugs Up, a drive-in diner from 1952. In Leavenworth, KS, there's Homers Drive In from 1931--still in its original building and still going strong. I try to eat at these places once a year and support them. They're local treasures. 😊
Hi Russ - those old diners sound wonderful. Every once in a while you see one and I'm glad that the KC area still has a few in operation. If my travels ever take me there, I'd love to experience one of them! Thanks!
Oh wow, guys! Awesome museum, thx for sharing that! I am drooling over the chicken! Can't wait to make this!
+moon lily Hope you make this one! Thanks for watching, moon lily!!
That was a great dish. Loved the diner car and whenever I visit New England, I search for the old diners for food. PA and NJ have quite a few still.
Several decades ago when I lived in CT, they had several diners, and I remember seeing them in NJ, and NY.
Kevin your work is incredible. Love this beautiful channel.
Thank you so much, Mona! Glad you enjoy the channel!
Oh my! This is great. Love this one. Loved the museum with the vintage kitchen appliances and 1930's diner. That chicken looks very tasty. Maybe this Dutch will make this fried American chicken one day :) Thanks again. Greetings from Friesland, The Netherlands
I mean Dutchie :)
+Lisette Leovardia Hi Lisette!! So wonderful to hear from The Netherlands!! Hope you give this classic American dish a try sometime - please let me know how it turns out! Thanks so much for watching!!
Looks very, very good Kevin and Ralph! Here in Rochester, NY we have a great diner that is still in use as a diner. Look up the Highland Park Diner online. Great food and a fun experience! Great to see you back and glad you enjoyed your trip to Rhode Island!!
+Cathy Aquilina Hi Cathy! I checked out the Highland Park Diner and it looks terrific! The breakfast menu alone makes me want to eat there! And they have fried chicken on the menu!!! Thanks for the tip and thanks always for watching!!
Makes me want to get out the electric fry pan and make chicken like that again. I don't use as much oil though. Probably 2 tablespoons in the pan and a knob of butter, I turn it a couple of times and also I put the lid on the fry pan and on low heat after 15 minutes, with the lid open a bit to let the steam escape, so coating does not go soggy.With breast or thighs put the meatiest side down. It is just a way my mother showed me how 40 years ago and takes about 45-55 minutes to cook. Love the museum and old appliances and 1950's diner chrome sets of tables and chairs. Ya see that old wooden box coffee grinder. My sister has our grandmother's from Holland that my mother brought back in the 1970's and it must be over a hundred years old.
+ShalimarPerfume Thanks, Shalimar!! I like your method for frying, too - especially adding a little butter! I'll bet your grandmother's coffee grinder was a real beauty - those old tools and appliances are really great and always take me back to a simpler time! Thanks for watching!!
Of course as always it is perfect! The only difference that we have in mine is somewhere in the fifties we added seasoned salt and replaced the salt. But it is so good! And by the way it's really nice to see a Ralph. That's pretty rare you know...
You make it look so easy! I'm always intimidated by frying chicken because it seemed so complicated with the breading and the oil and making sure the chicken was cooked. But you guys make me feel like I could do it! Great video, guys!
+Kristina Lee Thank you, Kristina!! Hope you give fried chicken a try! It's a little bit of work, but SO good! Thanks for watching !
The trip to the museum was fun. Thanks for taking us along. I have a stand mixer that was given to my parents as a wedding gift in 1947. I think it is a GE. The last time I used it, maybe 10 years ago, it was still going strong. Those old machines were definitely made to last. It is in storage now because I honestly don’t know what to do with it. I have no room to just display it, and I use my KitchenAid when I need a mixer. Such a shame to hide it away.
Hi Jean - that mixer that was your parents is a very well-built machine. Yes, they were made to last and last. They were a pretty big investment for people at the time, and so they put a lot of quality into the design and manufacturing. Hope you get a chance to use it again some day. thanks!
Great video. I collect vintage Sunbeam, and use our 1956 turquoise frypan a lot. I do deep frying in a Sunbeam Deep fryer circa 1950 outdoors. This summer I have been restoring a 1950's hooded charcoal grill, and recently found the rotisserie motor that fits it. Lots of research and found out my family got it all wrong cooking over charcoal. I got the correct size rotisserie spit, and holding forks. I've been posting my restoration, and cooking on it on Facebook. I really should post on here too.
Most recently I have been testing french toast in my vintage Sunbeam waffle baker to good results, the husband loves the smell of them cooking, but he is dieting...
I spied the Chemex in the background, we have one also, but missing the copper water bath it came with, lost in a move.
+Longhairbear Your Sunbeam collection sounds great! They made some wonderful and well-built appliances! Thanks so much for watching!
Love the demo, I just made but added a little southern flare to it. I really enjoy your videos!!
Hi Andrew - your chicken looked incredible! That Sunbeam skillet did a wonderful job! Thanks!
OMG the vintage diner tour was a blast!! Hope to get there some day!! Thanks for sharing! Also, thanks for breaking down frying chicken and simplifying it. I have never deep fried food before even though I'm no spring chicken LOL, but the idea of using the electric skillet definitely intrigues me enough to go get one and try it. The chicken looked amazing, melt in your mouth goodness. Will definitely give this a go!! Love you guys!
+Craftlover 9 Thanks for the love and we're sending some back to you!! Hope you give this a try - the electric skillet makes it an easier task, I think. Thanks so much for watching!!
+Cavalcade of Food I just think it is so generous of you both to take the time to do this and share with all of us out here...... Always look forward to what you're up to next!! Your kind spirit shines through. Thanks again!!
Kevin, you can come over my house ANYTIME to make that fried chicken!!! That chicken looks delicious!! Oh, and the Museum of Culinary Arts was fascinating!!!
Thanks, mapooh!!
Love it!!!
Thanks, Rose!
Hi Kevin and Ralph! Missed you guys....glad you had such a nice vacation! This looks so good...I have some thighs in the freezer that I am going to thaw and try your recipe. i made fried chicken once long ago and the inside was still raw while the outside burned. So i will bring out my electric skillet and try it your way.
+Janina S. Thanks so much for watching - hope you give this a try! I've had a couple of fails in frying in chicken, and found this method to work well for me. The electric skillet really helps since it holds the temperature constant. Thanks again!
We still have some old rail road diner cars scattered about. I can think of at least two of them in Worcester Mass. One of which I go to every now and then. But you bump into them here and there. There's another in Woonsocket Rhode Island.
We don't have many of these here in the Midwest, but when we are out east I love to stop at the diner cars. They are real pieces of American history and usually have good home cooked food. Thanks for watching!
Hi My name is Dena. I live Orange County, Texas. Wow! Great video u guys. And love Museums. I really love old antiques. Theres a antique mall where I live down interstate 10. Awesome Antiques
+Dena Bandsma Hi Dena! Thanks for watching!! The antique mall by your town sounds fun!
Ur welcome.
Kevin and sometimes he makes vittles, Ralph knock em out da park. these dudes along with a few,very few present basic fundementals of good basic comfort food,sure they use shortcuts but remember they came along when families were large ,moms only had so much time to fed the herd and the breadwinner,it had to be filling and good. got lucky finding cof. just wish Kevin would show more stoves and Ralph would show the dessert I have seen mentioned,something like a Mexican bread pudding. gents keep up the great vids oh the tunes are great as well.
Thanks!! We will keep the videos and tunes coming your way!!
Mums the word! This chicken looks delicious. I've never had much luck frying chicken. I get the urge every once in a while and am never very pleased. I'll try this method! I have used an electric skillet and cast iron pan. Must get to P-Town and check out that museum! Looks incredible! I have the Sunbeam Party Baker you pointed out on the bottom shelf and recognized several other things. Noticed your Chemex coffee pot in the kitchen. Do you like? Nice Corning platter as well. Cheers!
+Adam Bryan Hey Adam!! I've had my share fried chicken disasters - but this method seems to work for me. I really like using the electric skillet. We're going to have to open up our own appliance museum!! I like my Chemex, but it is really just a drip method brewer. I have a Melita that works as well. The thing about the Chemex is the filters, which are extraordinary and make for a smooth brew. Hope all is well with you - thanks for watching!
I love that you switch out stoves, do you have one with the built in stove top deep fryer, or rotisserie in the oven?
+Longhairbear Thanks! I have a couple with the deep-well cooker built in, but I don't have one with the rotisserie in the oven. I've seen them, but have yet to add one to my collection!
Looks great. Thanks for sharing..... My mom double dipped hers with buttermilk and flour. and cooked it in a cast iron skillet. With Crisco and lard.... Oh My God!!! Can't eat that anymore!! She put the flour in a brown paper bag with the chicken and shook it. Then drained it after it was cooked on brown paper bags also. Can you show how to make old fashioned egg creams? My grandma use to walk me to Woolworths to get them.........they were Delish.
+Eileen LeValley Your mom's version of fried chicken sounds incredible - double dipped!! An egg cream would have been great to have with the fried chicken! We will have to work that into an episode! I make them from time to time, and even use Fox's U-Bet chocolate syrup, which according to some people I know from NY is the real deal! Thanks for watching!
Yeah, the electric pan is a good way. I always double dip mine with egg in the middle. I find an easy way to coat is to use a large Tupperware bowl and seal and shake. If the oil isn't hot when you start the coating comes off and goes into the oil and burns. When the skin side is cooked and after you turn, I always turn the heat down and cover and let it cook slower for about 20 minutes. That is a good idea to take it outside if you can.
Hi Scooter! So many good suggestions - thank you so much! I'll bet your double dip turns out nice and crispy! Yes I love using the electric skillet to fry chicken - doesn't mess up the kitchen (too much)!! Thanks!
@@cavalcadeoffood Yeah, kind of extra crispy. I was amazed your cooked so well with such little time and uncovered. Of course I know I'm guilty of crowding. Hoak, "don't crowd the chicken", Driving Miss Daisy.
Kevin....your stoves please,this was the bomb
Glad you enjoyed the episode!! Thanks so much!
how long did you cook the drumsticks?
About 45 minutes.
Kevin use wire racks to drain fried foods, on paper towels the bottoms will get soggy. have you ever double floured chicken? flour chicken put on rack for ten minutes then flour again, drop in oil,you will get the best crispy fried chicken,oh before I go to keep my chicken cooking I pump up the old dormeyer and or sunbeam to 370.plop the meat in that super hot oil then turn down the temp then I don't have to wait for five minutes for the heat to build up.
Thanks - I will try just using a wire rack next time for draining. Never tried the double floured chicken but it sounds like it would be extra crispy. I like the idea of taking the oil temp up before putting the chicken in - I can see how that would speed things up. Thanks so much for watching!
Wonderful "tagging along" with you to the Johnson & Wales University Culinary Museum in this 2015 episode. As of January 2023, the Museum seems to be closed to the general public, as their website says, "the Culinary Arts Museum...is open to JWU alumni and external researchers by appointment." ʕ•́؈•̀ʔ
Hi Albert - I head that the museum has closed to the public. I'm glad we went when we did and were able to get in and see the place - it was really great.
Have you guys ever visited Virginia? The best peanuts and hams come from Virginia! Come and get some ham and peanuts to showcase in the video blogs!
Hi Joseph! Yes, we have been to Virginia - a beautiful state!! I love the peanuts there and had peanut soup in a couple of restaurants while there - delicious! I will have to get a Virginia ham one of these days and do a recipe with it - great idea! Thanks!
Rhode Island , Its not a road and its not an island. 😊
LOL! Love that!
