Q&A with Sarah Simmons
Q. What makes a good fried chicken?
A. Crispy skin with juicy, well-seasoned chicken.
Q. Do you have a favorite fried chicken? Doesn’t have to be a place in NYC.
A. My new favorite fried chicken is from Beasley’s Chicken and Honey in Raleigh, NC.
Q. Earliest fried chicken memory.
A. My grandfather made the best fried chicken – I can’t fry chicken without thinking about him. My first and favorite fried chicken memory is of him standing over the stove, frying chicken in a giant two burner cast iron pan when I was a little girl and letting me sneak wings when my mom wasn’t looking.
Q. Biscuits or waffles?
A. Biscuits.
