Blue Ribbon Recipe

Chicken fried steak is comfort food on a plate. Once fried, the crust is a beautiful golden brown and holds in a tender steak. Thanks to the hot sauce in the milk mixture and seasoned flour, this chicken fried steak does not lack flavor. You can't have chicken fried steak without gravy, and Jennifer's method is just like what grandma used to do. Using the drippings and leftover flour not only eliminates waste it also adds flavor. Now, this is a little time-consuming and messy to make, but it's well worth the effort.
