I have a couple of priceless stories to tell you about this recipe.  Pam, who is a regular customer at my store, told me she couldn’t cook.  I told her that was nonsense, that cooking was simply “following directions”.  I gave her my Oven Fried Chicken recipe.  I Mauri-1told her to put potatoes in the oven and to make a salad, and dinner was ready.  That was on Wednesday.  On Saturday Pam was back in my store.  She was ecstatic.  She had made the dinner for her husband as a surprise.  He loved the chicken.  He told his wife to quit her job and start a catering business with this recipe.  I had another customer who shall remain nameless.  I had given her the Oven Fried Chicken recipe.  She was in the store and I heard her tell The Butcher she needed to talk to me.  I went out to see her, not knowing what to expect.  She told me, “Honey, I made that Chicken recipe for my boyfriend.  We have been dating for 5 years, and after he ate that chicken, he almost proposed to me.”  I told her if he didn’t propose after he ate the Oven Fried Chicken that she should look for someone else.
