How do you pan-fry chicken?

Question

I used to make grilled chicken all the time on the George Foreman grill...but I recently replaced that with a cast iron skillet, because it was a PAIN in the *** to clean. And steaks on a cast iron skillet are delicious.

So anyway, I try making the chicken the same way I do the steaks. I covered it in sesame seed oil, tossed it on the hot skillet for about a minute each side, then placed it in a 425 degree oven for 3 minutes on each side. It came out gross.

What am I doing wrong? The chicken was marinated in spiedie sauce (mostly soybean oil and vinegar with lots of herbs and spices), but it came out really bad compared to the Foreman grill.

Answer 1

Cook on the stove top and you can smother fry that chicken.Take and add the seasonings you want to your chicken.Heat the skillet on low,then add a little oil(1 tabs.)then put the chicken in and put your lid on it.Cook about 10 mins. per side.The lid aids in cooking thru out.Hope this helps.Good choice of cook ware....

Answer 2

You have to remember that the foreman grill drains away the fat...use a small amount of olive oil and maybe cut back a bit on the marinade. That also would partially drain with the juice of the chicken in the foreman grill as well. Marinades for that grill are intended to help moisture loss as the grill tends to dry out meat. I think that if you just keep the two in moderation it will come out much better.

The only way to fry chicken is Southern Fried.

1/2 cup Butter milk
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup flour
1 chicken (3 lbs) cut up
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup lard

1. Put buttermilk in a shallow dish. Combine flour, salt and pepper in a paper bag. Dip chicken in buttermilk. Place one or two pieces in the bag; shake to coat.

2. In a large deep frying pan melt lard over medium-high heat to 375 degrees. Add chicken, turning frequently until brown and crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Answer 4

pan fried is cooked in a pan with fat. Don't add anything to the chicken until cooked.
