Chicken Fried Steaks

That southern country wonder: Chicken Fried Steak. It is the best meal you ever cooked or the worst frustration you ever encountered. Have you ever tried to make a perfectly breaded chicken fried steak only to have all of the breading to slip off in the frying pan? How about yucky clumpy gravy? Yeah – I’ve done it too – but not anymore because I’m sharing The Secret to Perfect Chicken Fried Steak.

“I received this recipe from a co-worker about 5 years ago. This is by far the best chicken fried steak I’ve ever had. I’ve made this numerous times for my picky eater son and my southern-raised better half, as well as other family and friends. I get nothing but rave reviews each time.”
  • Editor’s Note:
  • The nutrition data for this recipe includes the full amount of the breading ingredients. The actual amount of the breading consumed will vary. We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
