The end result is the same.

Once a week I make fried chicken, but instead of using standard "vegetable" oils (which are generally not made from vegetables, but instead highly processed from seeds) I use tallow. Also known as beef fat. It's been used, along with lard which is pig fat, for centuries and I trust it over seed oils (like Crisco) which were introduced to the American diet about 100 years ago.

I think a lot of the problem with commercial french fries and commercial fried chicken is that they are generally fried in the cheapest seed oil available and that oil is used over and over before being discarded. I've tried air-fried foods and I don't find them as tasty, but I would definitely prefer that approach over commercially fried items.

I remember in the 1970s when I was a kid in Queens, NYC Crisco was the main provider of Lard & Tallow. Everyone would use it to make fried foods. I believe even KFC, McDonald's, BK & White Castle used to use it for the french fries & fried chicken. It definitely use to taste better. If you go to the American South a lot of places still use lard for fried chicken.

This is fact, I remember when BK switched from tallow to light oils for their fries...Night and day.
