      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.

        Pan fried boneless chicken with black pepper buttermilk white gravy and mashed potatoes.

      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.
