Dating back to 19th century Texas, chicken fried steak is a classic Southern dish that everyone loves. Inspired by Wiener Schnitzel from German and Austrian immigrants, Grandma has been frying up this beloved American-ized version for over a hundred years. Tenderized steak, soaked in milk (or buttermilk), breaded with Grandma’s special seasoning, fried to golden brown perfection, then topped with white gravy (if you so choose). We’re drooling just thinking about it. Check out some easy and delicious chicken fried steak recipes that you can make for dinner tonight!
