    I absolutely love fried chicken! I could almost eat it every day of the week if you fed it to me. Even though I had breakfast not to long ago, I was drooling over this chicken! I totally wanted to go to Martha’s to have some & if I was Samantha on Bewitched, I would have twitched my nose to go right to her restaurant! LOL Now I have the recipe so I can make some in my own home. Thank you so much Sara! My mom wants to make the white chicken chili too!

    Dear Sara,

    I watch your show every Sat. And I have an odd request. I’m looking for a quote that I saw on your show that highlighted Martha Lou. She had a quote on her kitchen wall that I’d very much appreciate having.

    I actually looked at your website, hoping to see it, but the segment only showed the recipe.
    Can you help – it’s well worth seeing it!
    Sincerely,
    Audrey Miller

      Audrey,
      That show is probably available on YouTube. It would be on my channel “Sara’s Weeknight Meals” – you could watch it again to get that quote. I will look too.
