Fried Chicken Just Like KFC
Ingredients:
whole frying chicken, cut up and marinated
6 -8 cups shortening (for cooking)
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon peppper
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
Directions
1 Trim any excess skin and fat from the chicken pieces and
Marinate in salt water
2 Preheat the shortening in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees.
3 Combine the beaten egg and milk in a medium bowl.
4 In another medium bowl, combine the remaining coating ingredients (flour, salt, pepper ).
5 When the chicken has marinated, transfer each piece to paper towels so that excess liquid can drain off.
6 Working with one piece at a time, first dip in egg and milk then coat the chicken with the dry flour mixture, then the egg and milk mixture again, and then back into the flour.
7 Be sure that each piece is coated very generously.
8 Stack the chicken on a plate or cookie sheet until each piece has been coated.
9 Drop the chicken, one piece at a time into the hot shortening.
10 Fry half of the chicken at a time (4 pieces) for 12-15 minutes, or until it is golden brown.
11 You should be sure to stir the chicken around halfway through the cooking time so that each piece cooks evenly.
12 Remove the chicken to a rack or towels to drain for about 5 minutes before eating.

ReplyDeleteI never heard of dunking a poor chicken in salt water...why not just buy a salty chicken!..hehehe....and now you didnt tell us when to add the paprika, garlic powder and baking powder!...I would be afraid to stuff it in the chickens butt cause the baking powder would cause it to blow up!...A chicken with a gas problem..who da thunk it!...LMAO!
ReplyDeleteOh dear, someone stole my halo at the market today...or did I sell it?????
Just get making that chicken!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds great! How long to marinate? When I brine chicken or turkey I let it sit for 6 to 12 hours.
ReplyDeleteAlso, do you think canola oil would work. I don't use shortening because it hydrogenated.
Thanks!
Well I would marinate the chicken for as long as possible. As for the Canola Oil, I'm not sure, whatever you use has to be able to become very HOT without burning. All oil has a smoke point, maybe peanut or sunflower??
