Few people knew about “Southern Fried” chicken when we introduced the flavour to the Top Table range back in the day. But these days, the crispy southern fried chicken products are amongst our most popular products.
This version is made from chicken inner fillets that have been prepped with a delicious southern fried breading. The tender and juicy inner fillet serves as the perfect contrast to the crispy and crunchy breading. And thanks to the mix of pepper, onion, garlic, and celery, the inner fillets have a taste that can be enjoyed by children as well as adults.
The southern fried tradition traces its roots back to the 1700s, when Scottish immigrants travelled to the American South. With them, they brought the old tradition of deep frying chicken, which quickly caught on in the region. But the actual southern fried taste can be attributed to the African slaves, who put their own spin on the crispy chicken with their spices from the West African kitchen. This became so popular that African women, in spite of the slavery, started to sell them in the 1730s.
This is why southern fried is usually associated with the African-American kitchen and the popular tradition of “soul food”. And now, you can give your guests the authentic southern fried experience. The braded inner fillets can be cooked straight from frozen and can be used in a variety of dishes. Everything from burgers, sliders, and wraps to tapas, snack baskets, and Chick’n’Chips.
