Craig Robinson’s Oven Fried Chicken with Lemon Sauce

This week on Your Mama’s Kitchen, I am joined by Craig Robinson — coach, author, broadcaster, and co-host of IMO Podcast alongside his sister, First Lady Michelle Obama!

We heard from Mrs O during our first season. This time Craig shares HIS memories of the childhood kitchen where he and our Forever First Lady grew up in a little house on the South Side of Chicago. He talks about the lessons he learned at their kitchen table where money was tight but love was plentiful and . his mother (the late, great Marion Robinson) was always full of advice and support

Even when he and his sister, “Miche” almost burnt the house down whike making breakfast.

Plus: Craig tells us how to make Mrs. Robinson’s famous extra crispy fried chicken. 🍗🔥
