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!

Provided by Elaine O

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.

Tips:

  • To achieve crispy wings, pat them dry with paper towels before frying. This removes excess moisture and helps the skin crisp up.
  • Use a combination of baking powder and cornstarch in the coating. This will help create a crispy, flavorful crust.
  • Fry the wings in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Fry the wings until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Serve the wings immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Crispy fried chicken wings are a delicious and versatile appetizer or main course. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
