whats the best way to make fried chicken can you give me some recipes?

Answer 1

Fried Chicken

ING:-
1 broiler/fryer chicken, cut into 8 pieces
2 cups low fat buttermilk
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons Hungarian paprika
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Flour, for dredging
Vegetable shortening, for frying

METHOD:-
Place chicken pieces into a plastic container and cover with buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours.
Melt enough shortening (over low heat) to come just 1/8-inch up the side of a 12-inch cast iron skillet or heavy fry pan. Once shortening liquefies raise heat to 325 degrees F. Do not allow oil to go over 325 degrees F.

Drain chicken in a colander. Combine salt, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Liberally season chicken with this mixture. Dredge chicken in flour and shake off excess.

Place chicken skin side down into the pan. Put thighs in the center, and breast and legs around the edge of the pan. The oil should come half way up the pan. Cook chicken until golden brown on each side, approximately 10 to 12 minutes per side. More importantly, the internal temperature should be right around 180 degrees. (Be careful to monitor shortening temperature every few minutes.)

Drain chicken on a rack over a sheet pan. Don't drain by setting chicken directly on paper towels or brown paper bags. If you need to hold the chicken before serving, cover loosely with foil but avoid holding in a warm oven, especially if it's a gas oven.




SIMPLE SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN


1 frying chicken, skin removed if you
want lower fat. I leave the skin on.
3 teaspoons Lawry's Seasoned Salt
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup vegetable oil

1. Season chicken with all seasonings.
2. Roll chicken in flour until covered. Shake off
excess flour. Sprinkle additional seasoning.
3. Simply fry chicken in frying pan until golden
brown. I like it crispy so I cook it a little longer
than most.

You can start out with the oil very hot and then
reduce it later. This seals in the moisture and
flavor, then cooks it.

Low Carb Southern Fried Chicken/,

Recipe Summary
I Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 30 minutes ;;
Yield: 4 servingsNutrition Info: Low Carb
3 to 6 cups vegetable oil (more or less depending on pot used)
1 whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces, or 3 pounds boneless chicken breast
3 eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream or water
Breading:
2 1/3 cups soy flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place a heavy pot over medium-high heat with at least 1-inch of vegetable oil for boneless chicken and 2 inches for whole pieces. Heat oil to 350 degrees F; it is important to monitor and maintain the temperature, or the soy flour breading and your oil will burn. (Portable deep fryers at home are great for this.)
In a medium bowl, mix the eggs and cream to make an egg wash. In a separate larger bowl, mix all the breading ingredients together.
Season the chicken well with salt and pepper. Dip it first in the breading, then in the egg wash, and then back in the breading again, making sure to coat well on all sides. Pat off any excess breading and then carefully place into hot oil and fry until golden brown and crisp, just a few minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Boneless chicken breasts, if thinly cut, may cook all the way by frying alone, but whole chicken will not because of how fast soy flour browns, it is best to piace any chicken you fry with soy flour on a sheet pan and finish by baking at 350 degrees F for an additional 10 minutes for boneless chicken and 20 to 25 minutes more for cut up chicken pieces that have bones. The internal temperature of the chicken should register 165 degrees F. Serve immediately.
Cook's Note: Soy flour is made from toasted soybeans and has already been "cooked." Therefore it has a tendency to brown faster than plain flour when frying. Try this same breading for onion rings, baked pork chops, okra, mozzarella sticks, mushrooms, onion rings and eggplant.

Answer 3

This is the best way to fry chicken at home: wash chicken in cold water and pat dry. Soak for an hour in cold milk. Use an electric skillet. You can control your temperature better. Pour about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in skillet. Set temp. at 160 degrees. If you don't have an electric skillet, turn stove burner on medium, and for best flavor, use an iron skillet. While oil is heating, beat together an egg and a cup and 1/2 of milk. Add a little salt. to a plastic ziplock bag, add 2 cups all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon each salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Close bag and shake well. When oil is hot, dip chicken pieces in egg mixture and then place in flour mixture in plastic bag. Shake until chicken is coated. Add to hot oil. Fry, turning once, until crispy and golden brown, about 10-12 minutes on each side. Don't cook too long. Your chicken will be dry. This chicken is even delicious cold.

Answer 4

Fill frying pan with a 1/2 Inch of oil, Canola is best.
Take breasts, thighs or drumsticks, rinse, pat dry with papertowel.
Take 5 eggs or so (depending on how many your making) and crack them into a bowl, beat them.
Add your spices to the egg, salt, pepper, etc.
Take each piece of chicken and coat evenly with egg.
Put Rice Cripies on a plate (yes the cereal), and then coat chicken with the cereal, place in pan, cook till done.
It is REALLY good, try it. Cunchy and crispy, flavorful & moist chicken.
