ughh, parents said they were going to come down for my birthday, were gonna bring down some gross shake and bake type shit that i don't know what's all mixed in, but they include a lot of wets, that doesn't make it very crispy and more of wet mess. after sitting on it for a day, i asked, who is that for? and they said they wanted to make me something for my birthday, thinking fast and truthfully, i can cook well enough, said, i never get the chance, i'd like to cook something for you... fuckers said fried chicken. like, i'm sure what i'll end up is better than what moist mess they would have made, but never made fried chicken myself. don't like to fry (and the shit my parents were gonna serve me was gonna be far from that. what's a good base, what do i need to season it with, dredege, etc, what oil to use, what temp? times? fuck this is gonna annoy me. fuckers had the audacity to ask me about instant potatoes. like they know the mashed potatoes i make are fucking fire, fucking bull shit all around. thanks for annoying me on my birthday.
