This fried chicken recipe comes from Nathan Bailey’s 1736 cookbook, “Dictionarium Domesticum.”
And people love it!
This recipe calls for a marinade that is sure to surprise you.
The tartness of the marinade contrasted to the sweetness of the batter really sets this dish off.
You should really try this! This may be just the best fried chicken ever!
