    We just call it fried chicken. I should know, I’m Mr. Manager. That being said, looks great and I want all of that.

        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.

          Yeah the south is weird, it’s the whole dish combo not just the protein. I just immediately understand the name but understand why it sounds redundant/weird/dumb to someone who’s never come across it.

        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.

      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.

        I get the clarification. Just wanted to make an Arrested Development joke and it turned into a whole semantic argument. Alas, as Michael tells Tobias: “There’s gotta be a better way to say that.”
