The KAC Fall/Winter Fried Chicken | Collard Greens with Smoked Turkey Necks

MY NEWEST ADDITION TO THE KAC Series of my version of simple dishes involves this season's take on fried chicken. For this fall/winter seasoning, I employ a "double dredge" technique in which I first dredge pieces of fresh chicken into flour seasoned with various spices, then dip them into some dry herb-infused whisked egg wash, then back into the seasoned flour before going into my cast iron skillet (I really should give it—her—a name!) with just a half inch of hot canola oil, about 8 minutes each side.

But that doesn't even get started until long after I've submerged some large-cut collard greens in some cold water, salt, cider vinegar, mustard, sugar, tobasco sauce, and large hunks of (pre-)smoked turkey necks, brought that all to a boil, then let in simmer covered for about 4 hours, until the collards stems become pliable to a firm bite and the neck meats falls effortlessly off the bone.

Once the pot of collards comes of the heat, I then started the chicken, letting them cool and set on a huge stack of paper towels before plating them with the now manageably hot greens and necks. The only thing missing was the cornbread, but only because I haven't figured out the fall/winter recipe for that quite yet...! ;)
