CRISPY FRIED CHICKEN



Crispy Fried Chicken image

I experimented for many years before developing this recipe. It's bits and pieces of hints I had heard over the years. I have had many compliments on this chicken. Most of this recipe is dependant on your own taste. It's more a matter of preparation and cooking method!

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Fried Chicken Recipes

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (4 pound) chicken, cut into pieces
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups all-purpose flour for coating
1 teaspoon paprika
salt and pepper to taste
2 quarts vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Take your cut up chicken pieces and skin them if you prefer. Put the flour in a large plastic bag (let the amount of chicken you are cooking dictate the amount of flour you use). Season the flour with paprika, salt and pepper to taste (paprika helps to brown the chicken).
  • Dip chicken pieces in buttermilk then, a few at a time, put them in the bag with the flour, seal the bag and shake to coat well. Place the coated chicken on a cookie sheet or tray, and cover with a clean dish towel or waxed paper. LET SIT UNTIL THE FLOUR IS OF A PASTE-LIKE CONSISTENCY. THIS IS CRUCIAL!
  • Fill a large skillet (cast iron is best) about 1/3 to 1/2 full with vegetable oil. Heat until VERY hot. Put in as many chicken pieces as the skillet can hold. Brown the chicken in HOT oil on both sides. When browned, reduce heat and cover skillet; let cook for 30 minutes (the chicken will be cooked through but not crispy). Remove cover, raise heat again and continue to fry until crispy.
  • Drain the fried chicken on paper towels. Depending on how much chicken you have, you may have to fry in a few shifts. Keep the finished chicken in a slightly warm oven while preparing the rest.

THE CRISPIEST FRIED CHICKEN RECIPE BY TASTY



The Crispiest Fried Chicken Recipe by Tasty image

We tested dozens of different methods to fried chicken and we finally found what we think is the crispiest and juiciest version. The first step is to dry brine the chicken, which is a fancy way of saying to season it overnight. This process actually helps the meat retain its moisture while frying, making it extra juicy. The next step is the double-dredge method where you dip the chicken in seasoned flour, then in buttermilk, then back in the flour before frying to get those extra crackly bits. Let us know what you think!

Categories     Dinner

Time 5h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoons lemon zest, about 1 lemon
8 bones in chicken pieces, (4 drumsticks and 4 thighs)
6 cups canola oil, for frying
2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 cup buttermilk
2 large egg whites
2 tablespoons vodka

Steps:

  • Dry brine the chicken: In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and lemon zest.
  • Pat the chicken pieces dry with a paper towel and season with the salt mixture, evenly coating each piece.
  • Line a large resealable container with paper towels and add the seasoned chicken. Refrigerate uncovered for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  • 30 minutes before frying, remove the chicken from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature.
  • Add the canola oil to a large Dutch oven and heat over medium heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C). Place a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet and set nearby.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt.
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg whites, and vodka.
  • Working with one piece at a time, coat the dry-brined chicken in the flour mixture, then in the buttermilk mixture, then again in the flour, shaking off any excess.
  • Add 2-3 pieces of chicken to the hot oil and fry for 7-10 minutes, flipping once, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the exterior is golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil, transfer to the wire rack, and season with salt. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
  • Enjoy!

CRISPY AIR-FRIED CHICKEN



Crispy Air-Fried Chicken image

This is super and makes a juicy and delicious chicken. The basting mixture is a win and adds an excellent flavor to the crispy skin. You can modify this for a whole bird, you will need to add more cooking time and you are going to want to truss your chicken to make sure the legs and wings are tucked in. (Google it, it's way easier than you think.)

Time 50m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon ground paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried marjoram
½ teaspoon ground sage
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 (8 ounce) bone-in, skin-on chicken breast halves
¼ cup coconut oil, at room temperature
2 tablespoons dry sherry
2 tablespoons lime juice

Steps:

  • Mix paprika, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, marjoram, sage, pepper, and nutmeg together in a small bowl. Spread spice rub on all sides of chicken breasts and under the skin.
  • Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions. Mix coconut oil, sherry, and lime juice together in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Place chicken, breast-side down, in the air fryer basket and cook for 15 minutes. Brush chicken with reserved basting oil. Flip chicken, reduce heat to 360 degrees F (182 degrees C), and cook for another 15 minutes. Baste chicken again with remaining oil and cook until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 6 to 12 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Tips:

  • To achieve the crispiest chicken, use a combination of baking powder, cornstarch, and flour in the coating.
  • Make sure the chicken is completely dry before coating it, as any moisture will prevent the coating from adhering properly.
  • Use a light touch when coating the chicken, as too much coating will make it soggy.
  • Bake the chicken at a high temperature (400°F or higher) to create a crispy crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet, as this will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • For extra crispy chicken, broil it for a few minutes at the end of the cooking time.

Conclusion:

With a little planning and effort, you can easily make crispy chicken without frying it. These recipes provide a variety of options to suit your taste and budget. So next time you're craving crispy chicken, give one of these recipes a try. You won't be disappointed!
