BON TON STYLE FRIED CHICKEN



Bon Ton Style Fried Chicken image

From epicurious.com: Bilko's spice mix is a closely guarded secret, but Donna King, the restaurants cook, shared with us its fundamental ingredients as well as the basic technique - a long marination, at least 24 hours. This results in some of the juiciest chicken we've ever eaten. The chicken must also rest five or ten minutes after being dredged in the seasoned flour to, as King told us, "get doughy." The Bon Ton recipe calls for Ac'cent (monosodium glutamate) in both the marinade and the dredging mixture. We tested it with and without, and the chicken mainly tasted saltier with the Ac'cent, which some people preferred. The formula for this amazing dish dates back to the 1950s and a restaurant in Henderson known as The Colonel's Lair. It was a favorite haunt of local high school students and it was run by a man named Bill Koch, whom the kids called Bilko because that's the way he pronounced it. All who remember The Colonel's Lair agree that Bilko made the best fried chicken anywhere. In the state where Harland Sanders began a fried-chicken empire based on the secret recipe he used in the kitchen of his service station/café, such judgments are not made lightly. Bilko is gone, but Bon Ton proprietor George Markham and his former cook, Donna King, managed to get the recipe for the amazing chicken; and now it is served every day

Tips:

  • Use a cast iron skillet. Cast iron skillets retain heat well and evenly, resulting in a crispy, golden-brown crust on your fried chicken.
  • Season your chicken well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to season your chicken. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, cumin, or chili powder, to taste.
  • Use a light coating of flour. Dredge your chicken in a light coating of flour before frying. This will help the chicken to brown and crisp up.
  • Fry the chicken in hot oil. Heat the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit before frying the chicken. This will help the chicken to cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Don't crowd the pan. Cook the chicken in batches so that the pieces don't overlap in the pan. This will help the chicken to cook evenly and prevent it from steaming.
  • Fry the chicken until it is golden brown. Fry the chicken for 8-10 minutes per side, or until it is golden brown and cooked through.
  • Drain the chicken on paper towels. When the chicken is done frying, drain it on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Conclusion:

Bon Ton Style Fried Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its crispy, golden-brown crust and tender, juicy meat, this chicken is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
