My family really likes this on hot summer days. We think that the tart, sharp, salty, and sweet flavors teamed with the juicy/crunchy bits of cucumber and apple is amazing. Keep salad chilled until serving. Serve over mixed greens.

BEST-EVER FRIED CHICKEN

Best-Ever Fried Chicken image

Crispy, juicy and perfectly seasoned, this really is the best fried chicken recipe, ever. Summer reunions and neighborly gatherings will never be the same. When I was growing up, my parents had a farm, and every year, Dad would hire teenage boys to help by haying time. They looked forward to coming because they knew they would be treated to some of Mom's deep fryer recipes, including this delicious fried chicken. -Lola Clifton, Vinton, Virginia
