It's really easy to mess up fried chicken guys. I've had plenty of dry, flavorless fried chicken.

Fried chicken should be juicy after you get through the skin (how you spice the skin is a matter of individual taste, but if you're not using some kind of blend of flavors you might as well just grill).

To be fair if it's buffalo wings prepared correctly fried chicken is pretty good.

If it's barely seasoned dreck with no sauce on it you can go ahead and take that back and instead give me some real food, thanks.

Why are you posting on SA?

I'm unsure if it is my opinion that "fried chicken is generally not good", or that I don't live with my parents makes you ask this, but the answer is I paid my :10bux: and by george I'm gonna shitpost my moneys worth.

When I was a child the only chicken I was served was either fried chicken or chicken alfredo, so I thought I hated chicken until I moved out. It turns out I hate the poo poo out of alfredo, and fried chicken is the worst form of chicken. Turns out if the chicken is cooked in a form that isn't covered in garbage cheese or deep fried in fat it's pretty good.

Parmesan isn't garbage cheese unless you buy garbage "Parmesan". Sorry for your loss.

Parmesan is pretty bad. Even on spaghetti. But that's just like, my opinion, man.

Then again you can literally take parmesan out of the garbage and no-one will notice the difference.

Buttermilk, son. You don't even need skin on it if you've got buttermilk.

I would think filling it with water and then turning it on would be better and faster than the dryer sheet. That's how we always cleaned dutch ovens in scouts at least. Fill them with water/snow and then boil it. The poo poo that's stuck gets loose and BOOM now you have an easy to clean pot.

I just googled it out of curiosity and I can find a website going back to 2007 that says to use dryer sheets for this but doesn't actually explain how/why it works. I honestly think someone did it once and posted it on the internet and now it's just a thing.

Well yeah, that's because the water is doing most of the scrubbing for you when it boils (as long as it's covered, since you mentioned dutch ovens). Water is great at getting into tiny cracks and crevices and then, because it's incompressible, smashing the hell out of things when subjected to heat and pressure (or cold, freezing is also good for breaking things with water).

Lifehack: fill your dirty pans with water and stick them in the freezer :v:

The new lifehack in the scouts is to line your dutch oven with aluminum foil so you don't get the cast iron dirty. I rolled my eyes when I found out, like when I find people who keep plastic covers on their furniture. Why even have or touch objects on earth

Its because when you're at Costco, you can never remember if you're close to out or not. So you buy another 500 count package. And now you have more dryer sheets than you can ever use in your lifetime, so you have to come up with someway to use them.

We did that too (about 10-13 years ago) but sometimes poo poo still leaked onto the cast iron

Lifehack: don't use dryer sheets, use liquid fabric softener instead.

Or if you're like me and have allergies to fabric softener, don't use either.

This is like a glimpse in the mirror. I have so loving many dryer sheets for this very reason.


I like to put dryer sheets in my suitcase before I leave for tour (I work on a touring theater show and I am gone for 4-6 months at a time). The dryer sheets help keep the clothes fresh-smelling. But that's basically what they're designed for, so :shrug:

I used to transcribe customer feedback from P&G, apparently the dryer bars could break in the dryer, which would crumble powdered fabric softener all over your clothes, and people hated that.
