I know this is a long shot, but does anybody have the recipe for the fried chicken at Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant?

Can't hurt to ask!!

I found this on razzledazzlerecipes.com:

Knott's Berry Farm Fried Chicken

1 (2- to 3-pound) frying chicken, cut in eighths (Note: We use all breasts with bones)
2 cups unbleached flour
1 quart oil (or enough to cover the chicken)

Cover chicken with salted water and soak for 45 minutes. (Very important)

Drain chicken and pat dry. Coat each piece of chicken with flour and shake off any excess flour. Bring oil to a boil in an 8 1/2-quart saucepan, electric skillet or iron skillet and drop in chicken pieces. Do not overcrowd chicken in the pot. Cover and fry for 45 minutes. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Servings: 6

got to love that chicken! I even take some home to go when we leave. If only they had other locations they would do WELL.

Is it true that their food isnt that great after the sold to Cedar? My mom and I went to Knotts back in the 80's and the CFS was amazing, But my mom now tells me that it is really bad.
