I'm curious about chicken-fried steak – what kind of chicken meat do you guys use?

Hi, folks! I'm diving into making chicken-fried steak for the first time and I'm curious, what kind of chicken meat do you all use? Or wait, is it actually chicken, or something else? Feeling a bit confused here and could use some guidance. Thanks a bunch for the help!

I think the dish is really made with beef, not chicken….. the name "chicken-fried" comes from the cooking method – the steak is breaded and fried in a similar fashion to fried chicken. So don't worry, you're not alone in the confusion! Enjoy your chicken-fried steak adventure, and feel free to reach out if you need any more guidance

Absolutely! Thanks for the clarification. It's fascinating how the name "chicken-fried" refers to the cooking method rather than the ingredients. I'm definitely looking forward to trying my hand at making chicken-fried steak now.

Chicken-fried steak isn’t actually made with chicken—it’s a breaded and fried beef steak, often served with creamy gravy.
