CHESTER'S FRIED CHICKEN

Chester's Fried Chicken image

Crispy, flaked and juicy fried chicken. I got this recipe from Chester who also attened a culinary class at CFJP. Chester recommends that if you have not had much experience frying chicken start with the drumsticks. When I made this I seasoned the chicken as directed, but for my family this was to salty, so next time I'll just season my flour. I did use 1 cup of flour and coated 6 chicken drumsticks. I used my deep fryer and fryed the chicken 15 minutes.

Time 2h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

1 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 dash hot sauce, or to taste
1 tablespoon dry ranch dressing mix (such as Hidden Valley Ranch®)
4 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 ½ teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dry ranch dressing mix (such as Hidden Valley Ranch®)
1 large egg, beaten
½ cup buttermilk
¼ cup milk
canola oil for frying
4 soft hamburger buns, toasted and buttered
6 tablespoons mayonnaise, or to taste
12 dill pickle slices, or to taste

Steps:

Whisk buttermilk, salt, hot sauce, and ranch dressing mix together in a large bowl. Cut diagonal slits into the thick ends of chicken breasts and toss into marinade until well coated. Transfer to the refrigerator to marinate for 2 to 4 hours.
Meanwhile, make the breading: Mix flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, cayenne, and ranch dressing mix together in a shallow dish.
Make the wash: Whisk egg, buttermilk, and milk together in another bowl until combined.
Use a fork to pull chicken from marinade, letting any excess drip off. Dip into the breading to coat both sides; shake off any excess. Dip into egg wash mixture to saturate surface; return to breading to coat, shake off excess, and repeat once more. Let sit on a wire rack to dry, at least 15 minutes.
Heat oil in a deep-fryer to between 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Fry chicken breasts in the hot oil until golden, crispy, and no longer pink in the centers, 4 to 5 minutes, flipping halfway through. Transfer to a plate topped with crinkled up aluminum foil to prevent bottoms from getting soggy.
Spread mayonnaise over hamburger bun halves. Stuff with pickles and chicken.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.

Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or Dutch oven for even cooking.
Fry the chicken in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure that each piece cooks evenly.
Cook the chicken over medium heat to prevent it from burning.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
