Anyone have any good fried chicken recipes?
I’ve always went with the soak in buttermilk and your favorite hot sauce routine. Then dredge in flour, egg, and bread crumbs. Fry in hot oil then finish in the oven (depending on thickness). Always turned out delicious and juicy to me.
I usually don’t do the soaking routine, and go straight to the breading. Before the breading, seasoned the flour with a generous amount of salt, pepper, and whatever other spices you want to add to it. Then double bread the chicken (Egg->Flour->Egg->Flour) and fry in hot oil, though not too hot, as I usually prefer to slowly fry the chicken to remove the need of using the oven. Be careful not to cook it for too long though, the skin would just be unpleasant then.
Have always done it this way and the chicken is juicy and the fried skins are really tasty. I usually eat it with my hometown’s chili dip, which is really hot.
I’ve never had fried chicken…
We didn’t get KFC here until last year and it’s way out by the highway far away from the city. Looks like we’re getting KFC in our city center around March next year at least.
Is it any good or should I try to make my own?
KFC is alright, it’ll probably be amazing if you’ve never had fried chicken before also.
Buy from Publix. 
No, but seriously. I’ve never made it myself, but my father and grandmother basically did the same thing you do, but without the soaking. I imagine the only differences in recipes would be broken down to seasoning and flavoring, but the breading will basically be the same. And the deep frying. Cuz it ain’t fried if it ain’t fried.
I have this saved in my ‘to do’ list of recipes. Not tried it yet though!
Ingredients
Instructions
Take out 4 bowls
In the first bowl you’re going to place your raw chicken legs, make sure they have the skin on
In the second bowl you’re going to sift the flour and mix all the spices with the flour
In the third bowl you’re going to place the milk and eggs and mix them together
Use the fourth bowl to place the coated chicken by dipping each chicken leg in the egg bowl, then in the flour, then back in the egg bowl, and finally back in the flour bowl
Place the chicken in a hot pan with vegetable oil and fry till golden brown .
KFC is way better in Europe than it is here in the states. Or, it’s far better in Netherlands at the least. Worth a try I guess. Just don’t forget that it is fast food - no where near as good as the real thing.
Just follow this recipe. Alton Brown knows what he’s doing.
I am currently doing a keto diet thingy and in doing so I found this:
It sounds kind of weird but it is pretty good.
