The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

The most difficult part of the recipe was brushing all the chicken with the melted butter. It's a lot of work for this many pieces of chicken and really slowed down the process even with three of us frantically brushing away. The chicken was really good and not bad for oven fried given the large quantity of food we were working with. Maybe butter in a spritzer or something would make it easier but I'm not sure if that would work?
