As with most things, my husband doesn’t like to follow a set of instructions – He prefers to just dive in and experiment until it is right. Cooking is no different and his chicken fried steak recipe is something he has definitely mastered! We came up with the following measurements, but you may need to adjust to your liking.  Â
