Strouds fried chicken

[jspchief]

A few months back, while in KC, my relatives took me to a dumpy old joint called Strouds that looked like it was converted from a house. Despite the exterior, the inside was hospitable. They had the best damn fried chicken I've ever eaten, and serve enough food to make Whitlock uncomfortable. I know the next time I'm in town, I'll desperately be searching for that place.

Has anyone else ever eaten there? Are they famous in town for their chicken, or am I just sheltered?

Living on the south side of KC I've eaten there a lot. I've always liked their chicken.

Or.. get yourself a candy thermometer to manage the oil temps, a meat thermometer to pull the chicken immediately when done, and a buttermilk recipe full of seasoning and it will ruin all other restaurant chicken for life. I'm a pretty poor chef, but I can consistently turn out fried chicken that has my friends and family wondering why they have never tasted chicken so good.

Can you expand on this? I'm thinking of trying to make some homemade fried chicken.

Agree. Gus’s is dynamite. What hurts them is location, just down the street from the original Joe’s, so no one makes it that far to check them out. If they were in some Johnson County location, people would know all about them.

I question your judgement on THAT Gus's location.

Been there, have friends who's jusgement I trust and they AND I think it sucks. I suggest you try a fresh bucket of Churches from a poor neighborhood.

If you only like your chicken from a place with great BBQ nearby, try the Neiman rd location.
