We just call it fried chicken. I should know, I'm Mr. Manager. That being said, looks great and I want all of that.
I think it's due to being cooked like chicken fried steak not sure how regional it is.
But chicken fried steak is called that because it’s fried in the style of fried chicken.
“Chicken fried like a steak that was fried like chicken” is very needlessly redundant.
Yeah the south is weird, it's the whole dish combo not just the protein. I just immediately understand the name but understand why it sounds redundant/weird/dumb to someone who's never come across it.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Pan fried boneless chicken with black pepper buttermilk white gravy and mashed potatoes.
It'll be a flattened or cubed cutlet, not a natural piece of the bird, means you can fry in a pan with a little oil and not a big pot or fryer.
Yeah but the gravy and mashed potatoes make it what it is as well. This is the root dish for the name.

I'm not trying to argue, just trying to explain ops naming choice not just calling it pan fried chicken with black pepper white gravy and mashed potatoes.
I’ve always took bone-in deep fried chicken as fried chicken. This was a boneless breast fired in a pan, which I understood to be chicken fried chicken. Can’t remember where I read that though.
I get the clarification. Just wanted to make an Arrested Development joke and it turned into a whole semantic argument. Alas, as Michael tells Tobias: "There's gotta be a better way to say that."
Just manager.
