It’s National Fried Chicken Day, y’all! (The mere mention of fried chicken makes me talk like Paula Deen, y’all.)

Now, you could honor a finger-lickin’ good holiday by hitting the drive-through on your way home tonight. Or you could D.I.Y.: Here are five fried chicken recipes from the L.A. Times Test Kitchen, including this gorgeous specimen: pan-fried chicken. To get you on your way, here’s a fried chicken primer from L.A. Times Test Kitchen manager Noelle Carter.

I only ask this in return: If you try this or any of the recipes from the L.A. Times Test Kitchen, we want to see the finished dish so we can showcase it on the blog and in print. You can upload your photos to this gallery.
