As far as ingredients go this is not true southern fried chicken. Might want to rename it Southern BBQ Fried Chicken

I have been a member for several years now and have rated only one other recipe. I am from the deep south and and excellent cook. I couldn't let this recipe slide by as a five star. It barely rates a single star. True southern dumplings are not sweet and gummy they are usually bland when made from scratch and take on the flavor of the broth they are cooked. The texture should range from noodle like to light and puffy or combination depending on your preferance. I followed the instructions carefully and even after an hour and a half had a gummy mess in the top of the slow cooker. Skimmed off the mess and served the chicken with gravy over broad egg noodles. If the biscuit would ever cook it is more like a chicken pot pie in the slow cooker. Folks, it is what it is....a POT PIE!!!! and I can make a better one of those from scratch.

This cake is very good. Turned out well only note to recipe is to lightly coat nuts with flour to ensure even distribution of nuts. I would also increase nuts by 1/2 cup to 1 cup to ensure enough nuts are in cake.
