ASHLEY'S AND JOJO'S FRIED CHICKEN
This is a recipe that me and one of my favorite aunts, Joanna, used to make when I would spend the summer with her. The marinade has many variations. (The variations are that you can use whatever you want to. Our variations depended on budget alone for my aunt is an artist with shallow pockets.) Marinating is key to the success of this recipe. I try to marinate overnight or in the morning so that it can be ready when I get hiome from school or work. An hour or two will make a difference but the longer the chicken is in the marinade, the more delicious it will be in the end. You don't have to use chicken legs, but that is me and JoJo's favorite part of the chicken. Enjoy!

SHAKEY'S FAMOUS CHICKEN & MOJOS (COPYCAT)
My reverse-engineered recipe for Shakey's original fried chicken with crispy potatoes. It can be labor-intensive and messy (you will dirty a few dishes), but it will be so worth it. PLEASE NOTE: The Nutritional Information listing here is inaccurate -- since only a fraction of flour and salt actually end up in the finished product. So be aware -- the suggested sodium, sugar, carbohydrate and calorie levels are ridiculously exaggerated!
