You can tell someone is American when they call milky flour “gravy”
This is “gravy” in the same way American squirt cheese is “cheese” in that certain people will call it that. But its categorically a completely different thing.
It’s a bechamel, friend. You are fool who doesn’t understand food. You probably boil everything you don’t microwave.
White gravy, often flavored with chicken stock and herbs, sometimes pepper, is particularly popular in the south, and it slaps. Its the same kind of gravy you might have with biscuits and gravy (these ‘biscuits’ being closer to scones than hard shortbread or tea biscuits) To use a brown gravy in the same scenario would be a travesty, thats mainly reserved for roasted red meats.
Over the fried remains of its beaten children. Savage.
I want a bite.
We just call it fried chicken. I should know, I’m Mr. Manager. That being said, looks great and I want all of that.
I think it’s due to being cooked like chicken fried steak not sure how regional it is.
It’ll be a flattened or cubed cutlet, not a natural piece of the bird, means you can fry in a pan with a little oil and not a big pot or fryer.
Yeah but the gravy and mashed potatoes make it what it is as well. This is the root dish for the name.

I’m not trying to argue, just trying to explain ops naming choice not just calling it pan fried chicken with black pepper white gravy and mashed potatoes.
But chicken fried steak is called that because it’s fried in the style of fried chicken.
“Chicken fried like a steak that was fried like chicken” is very needlessly redundant.
I’ve always took bone-in deep fried chicken as fried chicken. This was a boneless breast fired in a pan, which I understood to be chicken fried chicken. Can’t remember where I read that though.
Can you share the recipe?
No real recipe. I dry-brined some boneless breasts overnight. Then did a traditional flour, egg, flour dredge and fried in a pan with a little oil. I added some hot sauce to the egg and some spices to the last flour stage. Cheers!
Why kill innocent chickens for mouth-pleasure tho
