Frying chicken in a deep fryer recipes??

Question

I am going to use a deep fryer for some boneless chicken breasts and some "drumsticks" - I really have no idea how to concoct a batter/breading...any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks

Answer 1

This can be made in a deep fryer. If frying fish, pancake batter works well.

Cajun Fried Chicken

4-5 boneless chicken breasts, boneless pork chops, or any chicken with bone in
1 cup of self-rising flour, unsifted
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1tbs Dijon mustard
1/3 cup Tabasco
¼ cup water
1 – 1 ½ cups oil, for frying

Combine cayenne pepper, mustard, Tabasco, and water in plastic container or gallon size zip lock bag. If you pierce chicken with a fork first it will be a lot spicier (don’t do this unless you like it HOT!). Place chicken in marinade, turning to coat well. Marinate for no more than 1 hour, turning frequently.

Combine self-rising flour and garlic salt in a plastic bag or container. Add chicken to coat, one at a time is best. I use tongs so my hands don’t get messy.

Heat vegetable oil in large skillet on medium high heat.

Fry chicken pieces, turning once, for about 15-20 minutes total. Remove from pan immediately and keep warm. If you use regular pieces of chicken, with bone in, cook for at least 30-45 minutes, or until done.

Serving Suggestions:
Garlic flavored pasta or garlic mashed potatoes and green beans or broccoli.

Answer 3

Kentucky Fried Chicken:

1¼ hours 10 min prep
12 pieces

1 egg, beaten
2 cups milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon msg (monosodium glutamate-you can use Accent Flavor Enhancer)
6 cups Crisco cooking oil
2 frying chickens, with skin, each cut into 6 pieces

1. In a small bowl combine the egg and milk.
2. In a seperate bowl, combine the remaining four dry ingredients.
3. Dip each piece of chicken into the milk mixture until fully moistened. Roll the moistened chicken into the flour mixture until completely coated.
4. Pour the oil into the pressure cooker and heat over medium heat to about 400.
5. In groups of 4 or 5, drop the chicken pieces into the oil and lock the lid into place. When the steam begins shooting through the pressure release, set the timer for 10 minutes.
6. After 10 minutes, release the pressure according to manufactuer's instruct ions, and remove the chicken to paper towels or a metal rack to drain.
7. Repeat with remaining chicken.
8. TIDBIT: If you prefer not to use MSG, you may substitute an additional 1/2 TBS. of salt. Be aware however that using MSG produces the best clone of KFC's fried chicken.

Answer 4

This is the way I always do it... Simple & Yummy

Season the chicken with a little all purpose seasoning.

Make three dipping stations.

Dip chicken in first bowl which contains seasoned flour (you can use plain flour but I just add a little all purpose seasoning & paprika in their for more flavor..not too much)

Dip in second bowl which contains beaten eggs (use as many as you need for all your chicken)

Dip in third bowl which contains breadcrumbs!!! I used the Italian Flaored ones because they are yummy.

Then you are ready to fry! I like to make chicken breast this way & bake them. 350degrees 15 minutes on each side.

Enjoy! & Good Luck! ;-)
