As I said, I have been making chicken fried steak for a long, long, time. And as good as it always has been, I have fine tuned it to the nth degree, at least to my tastes. Crispy and covered with sawmill gravy, it is the perfect foil for mashed potatoes. I could eat my weight in this.

Just a note about why to season to taste with the salt- Cajun spice is notorious for wild variations in salt. Add the Cajun spice first and see if it still needs any. You can always add more, but you can’t take it out.
