Off and on, I've tried about four other recipes for chicken-fried steak. I'm glad I finally found this one...it's the best. And I've never made gravy before, but this one was so easy. Keep stirring and keep patient and it will come together.

Very Good...

This was pretty good. Nothing amazing, but nothing awful either. It feels like it needs a bit more of something.

This one is definitely 5 stars. I made this from the magazine this past winter, and it was a complete hit. The steaks are crispy with the perfect flavor, and the gravy is a must. Perfect comfort food for a transplanted Southern belle!

This was delicious! The coating was really crispy and crunchy and this had a nice flavor. I did miss the garlic I always use in mine though, other than that it was 5 stars. I was a little unsure about using the cayenne pepper, but I couldn't even taste it and no one else even seemed to notice it was in there. This made a LOT of gravy, so next time I am only going to use 3 cups of milk instead. I had to shorten the cook time on the first side by almost 2 minutes as it was starting to get really brown. I'm a Southerner/Texan and grew up on chicken fried steak and gravy, when I say this makes some good eatin', I know what I am talking about! Chicken fried steak is one of our very favorite meals. I loved this recipe. The second time I made this I tossed in a chicken bouillion cube to the gravy, just because.

This was just okay, my husband gave it a 3 1/2, so he liked it a little better than I did. I've never made this before, so I think I might not have put enough salt in the flour mix, plus I couldnt find peanut oil at the store and had to use vegetable oil. This might've affected the taste. I will probably try to make this again before I give up on the recipe!

I sprinkled the steaks with seasoned tenderizer then added 1/2 teaspoon of cajun seasoning to the flour mixture, we just like spicy. This was good but think I will continue to deep fry mine at 365 degrees for 5 minutes and make butter based cream gravy.

very good

Husband loved this but did make changes as other reviewers suggested: Less oil, half the milk and flour for gravy b/c this made plenty for us and it needed a little spice for more flavor.

I have been making this recipe for a couple of years now. It took me along time to find a good recipe and I still have not found a better one.

This tasted great! Better than the resteraunt's! I use this recipe all the time.

We absolutely loved this chicken fried steak. Being from TX we love almost any chicken fried steak, but ever since I found this recipe we don't eat any other chicken fried steak.

Everyone asks me to make this again and again

The only changes I made was to use a canola oil blend. This was the first time I ever cooked chicken fried steak and it was great! This recipe is a keeper!

I loved this. I have tried chicken fried steak at many restaurants and never really liked it. I really do not know why I even decided to cook this. I guess I was hoping that it would be better if I made it and my southern family seems to love chicken fried steak. This recipe was wonderful. I cooked it with only enough oil to cover half the steaks since it seemed like too much oil was called for in the recipe. I also added a little more spices than listed. I included about a tsp of onion salt and a little bit of blackening seasoning added to the cracker, flour mixture and to the gravy. I used about 2 1/2 cups of milk for the gravy and this was plenty for me and the sauce did not take too long to thicken. It was bland though until I added a little of the seasoning mentioned above. I will be making this many more times. My husband loved it too especially the gravy.
