Frying Through Time: Chicken's Journey
Believe it or not, fried chicken is way older than Colonel Sanders! Rolling back 1700-1900s, the first recipe of this all-time favorite comfort food was in Scotland. Although evidence suggests that frying techniques existed in ancient Rome, Scotland gets the credit for the first documented recipe in the 18th century, using breadcrumbs and seasoned fat.
Meanwhile, West African cuisine brought its own deep-frying techniques alongside distinctive spices. Consequently, different influences collided in the American South. These included Scottish immigrants who introduced their methods of frying and enslaved Africans who used their flavorful seasonings. As a result of that, this delicious mixture became a staple in the South to be enjoyed beyond Sunday dinners. Even though most people now identify Colonel Sanders as the face of this delicious fried dish globally, it is really a story of global exchange and cultural heritage.
