For whatever reason, back around 1990, the world decided to increase its redundancy factor with this one. By its very nature, fried chicken is "Chicken-fried." Said another way, wouldn't you feel silly ordering, "Chicken, fried in the manner of fried chicken?" Chicken-fried steak is exactly that, steak fried as if it were chicken. Thus, it deserves the denotation. Chicken, although it may be pan-fried or deep fat-fried, cannot, by the rules of logic (which state that it's just not cricket to use an object to justify itself) be chicken-fried. So drive a waitress crazy sometime, and order a big plate of fried chicken!!
