ASHLEY'S AND JOJO'S FRIED CHICKEN



Ashley's and Jojo's Fried Chicken image

This is a recipe that me and one of my favorite aunts, Joanna, used to make when I would spend the summer with her. The marinade has many variations. (The variations are that you can use whatever you want to. Our variations depended on budget alone for my aunt is an artist with shallow pockets.) Marinating is key to the success of this recipe. I try to marinate overnight or in the morning so that it can be ready when I get hiome from school or work. An hour or two will make a difference but the longer the chicken is in the marinade, the more delicious it will be in the end. You don't have to use chicken legs, but that is me and JoJo's favorite part of the chicken. Enjoy!

SHAKEY'S FAMOUS CHICKEN & MOJOS (COPYCAT)



Shakey's Famous Chicken & Mojos (Copycat) image

My reverse-engineered recipe for Shakey's original fried chicken with crispy potatoes. It can be labor-intensive and messy (you will dirty a few dishes), but it will be so worth it. PLEASE NOTE: The Nutritional Information listing here is inaccurate -- since only a fraction of flour and salt actually end up in the finished product. So be aware -- the suggested sodium, sugar, carbohydrate and calorie levels are ridiculously exaggerated!

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ cup Worcestershire sauce
¼ cup ketchup
2 tablespoons soy sauce
pepper to taste
2 cups vegetable oil, for deep-fat frying
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup panko bread crumbs
salt and pepper to taste

1 green onion, thinly sliced

Tips:

  • To achieve crispy fried chicken, use a combination of all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper as the coating.
  • Before frying, soak the chicken in buttermilk or a mixture of buttermilk and water for at least 30 minutes to tenderize it and give it a flavorful crust.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven to fry the chicken in plenty of hot oil to ensure even cooking and prevent crowding.
  • Maintain the oil temperature between 350°F (175°C) and 375°F (190°C) to achieve a golden-brown exterior and juicy interior.
  • Fry the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure proper cooking. Overcrowding can result in soggy and unevenly cooked chicken.
  • Use a wire rack set over a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain excess oil from the fried chicken after cooking.
  • Season the fried chicken immediately after cooking with additional salt and pepper or desired seasonings to enhance the flavor.

Conclusion:

With careful preparation, attention to detail, and adherence to these tips, you can achieve crispy, juicy, and flavorful fried chicken that is perfect for any occasion. Experiment with different seasoning combinations to create unique flavors that suit your taste preferences. Whether you prefer a classic Southern-style fried chicken, a spicy Nashville-hot version, or a Korean-inspiredヤンニョムチキン (Yangnyeom Chicken), the possibilities are endless. So, gather your ingredients, heat up your oil, and embark on a culinary journey that will leave your taste buds craving more.
