Double-dipped, crispy fried chicken is a crowd favorite with its extra crunch, juicy texture, and incredible flavor. Serve it with creamy coleslaw and warm cornbread for the perfect Southern meal.

Southern friends, I swear y’all are the masters of comfort food. Nobody does it quite like the South—especially when it comes to fried food. And let’s be real, Southern fried chicken is in a league of its own.

Growing up in a home with a dad from Oregon and a mom from Idaho, fried chicken wasn’t really ever made. But that doesn’t mean we didn’t eat it.

Looking back, this is really quite ridiculous and a little embarrassing to admit, but whenever we went out and had a picnic, we would get fried chicken from… well, from KFC. There, I said it.

Oh gosh, lol, it’s kind of funny if you think about it. I mean, my mom cooked all of our meals, and we practically never ate out, but then we go on a picnic and we take a bucket of fried chicken. Bahahaha.

It’s crunchy on the outside and with juicy divine chicken underneath. This is the best fried chicken. It is our absolute favorite and totally irresistible. We use tender chicken breasts, but you could easily swap them for thighs, drumsticks, and even wings!

Southern food is a favorite around here, like our smoked beans, southern cheese crackers, and southern corn bread (which is the best corn bread EVER.)

This simple and delicious Italian dish is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. Learn how to make spaghetti aglio e olio with just a few ingredients and enjoy a flavorful sizzle in every bite.

This recipe was born because our sizzling Italian dipping oil for bread was going crazy on Instagram so I thought…I bet if I tossed this herbaceous oil with some pasta that it would be outrageous! And boy was I right! The whole family gobbled this up and now we are having it on the reg. I hope you love it as much as we do!

Oh and did I mention that it’s so quick and easy?! Dinner on the table in 20 minutes! I know all you busy parents will love that!

What is Aglio e Olio?

Directly translated from Italian, “spaghetti aglio e olio” means “spaghetti with garlic and oil.” It’s a classic Italian pasta dish where spaghetti is tossed with a hot garlic and oil sauce. I’ve also seen it called “midnight spaghetti” because it’s so quick and easy to make and can be thrown together for a late night snack. If this is how midnight snacks go in Italy, count me in!

Ingredients for Spaghetti Aglio e Olio

It only takes a few simple ingredients to make this spaghetti recipe, so head to the fresh herbs section of your produce section and you are just a few more ingredients away from a simple pasta dinner:

  • Olive Oil: helps cook the garlic and acts as the sauce for the pasta
  • Garlic: be sure to use fresh garlic
  • Fresh Herbs: Parsley, Oregano (or Marjoram), Rosemary and Basil
  • Red Pepper Flakes: adds flavor and a little heat
  • Kosher Salt: adds flavor
  • Balsamic Vinegar: adds acidity and a little sweetness
  • Fresh Spaghetti: buy it at the store or make your own
  • Parmesan: Pasta is always better with parm!

The measurements for each ingredient can be found in the recipe card at the end of the post.

Two Ways to Make Spaghetti with Garlic and Olive Oil

There are two ways you can make the hot sizzling oil spaghetti and it all depends on how you want the garlic…the “aglio” in our aglio olio! Both versions only take 20 minutes to get on the table! I’ll walk you through each method. Before you start, make sure you get some water heating up and boil your pasta until al dente.

Toasted Garlic

  1. Mix: Place all the herbs and spices in a shallow bowl and mix to combine.
  2. Heat: Add the oil to a small saucepan and heat over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the garlic and let it toast.
    • PRO TIP: Pay close attention to the garlic because it will brown quickly and you do
