Provided by Stephanie Manley

Categories     Main Course

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups all-purpose flour
⅔ tablespoon salt
½ tablespoon ground thyme
½ tablespoon basil
⅓ tablespoon oregano
1 tablespoon celery salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon dry mustard powder
4 tablespoon paprika
2 tablespoons garlic salt
1 tablespoon ground ginger
3 tablespoons ground white pepper
½ teaspoon Accent flavor enhancer (MSG) (optional)
1 whole chicken
1 egg (beaten)
1 cup full-fat buttermilk
vegetable oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Cut the chicken into breast, thigh, leg, and wing pieces.
  • In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour and all of the seasonings.
  • In a large bowl, add buttermilk and beaten egg. Stir or whisk to combine.
  • Add the chicken pieces to the buttermilk mixture.
  • Soak the chicken for about 30 minutes.
  • Place a wire rack on top of a baking sheet.
  • To bread the chicken, remove the chicken from the buttermilk and shake off excess.
  • Place each piece into the flour mixture.
  • Coat the chicken fully and then shake off all of the excess flour.
  • Place the chicken onto the wire rack.
  • Bread all of the chicken. The breaded chicken should rest for about 15 minutes before frying.
  • Heat oil to 350 degrees in a deep fryer. If you do not have a deep fryer you should use a Dutch oven and fill it half full of vegetable shortening. If you are using a Dutch oven, use a thermometer to make sure the temperature is maintained at 350 degrees. If the temperature drops too low, the breading will become greasy.
  • Cook the chicken in 2 or 3 batches. The breasts and thighs will take about 15 to 18 minutes to cook. The wings and legs will take about 12 to 13 minutes to cook.
  • Drain the fried chicken on a clean wire rack on top of a baking sheet.

JANET'S KFC SEASONED FRIED CHICKEN



Janet's KFC Seasoned Fried Chicken image

This is the closest I've come to the original KFC recipe. They deep-fry theirs in a pressure fryer, and I pan fry this in only 4 tablespoons oil, so I think mine is much healthier.

Time 15m

Yield 6 batches fried chicken, 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2/3 cup nonfat dry milk powder
9 tablespoons fine sea salt
4 tablespoons egg white powder (cornstarch okay)
2 tablespoons Accent seasoning (optional)
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
10 tablespoons ground peppercorns (6 Tbsps black, plus 4 tbsps white)
4 tablespoons dalmatian ground sage
3 tablespoons sweet paprika
2 tablespoons ground coriander
2 tablespoons ground ginger
1 tablespoon celery salt
1 tablespoon ground savory
1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
1 1/2 teaspoons ground parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons ground vanilla beans

Steps:

  • NOTES: FOR AUTHENTIC RESULTS, PREPARE RECIPE EXACTLY AS DIRECTED. MSG (ACCENT SEASONING) IS IN THE ACTUAL ORIGINAL RECIPE, BUT MAY BE OMITTED IF NECESSARY. EGG WHITE POWDER IS SOLD IN HEALTH FOOD STORES. YOU MAY SUBSTITUTE EGG WHITE POWDER WITH CORNSTARCH. FINELY GRIND REQUIRED HERBS AND SPICES SEPARATELY IN A CLEAN SPICE MILL OR COFFEE GRINDER. USE A PEPPER MILL TO MEDIUM-GRIND TELLICHERRY PEPPERCORNS. I RECOMMEND MCCORMICK BRAND TELLICHERRY BLACK PEPPER AND GROUND GINGER, SPICE ISLANDS BRAND GROUND SAGE AND CARDAMOM, SPICE APPEAL BRAND GROUND SAVORY, AND WILLIAMS-SONOMA BRAND GROUND TAHITIAN VANILLA BEAN.
  • MEASURE the BASE MIXTURE and 11 SECRET HERBS AND SPICES into a large re-sealable container (this includes the prepared BARBECUE SEASONING recipe).
  • BREAK up any clumps (and dry milk powder) using the back of a spoon.
  • SEAL the container.
  • SHAKE container to mix well.
  • STORE container sealed and store in a cool dry place.
  • WHEN ready to use, measure 1/2 level cup of this mixture plus 2 cups unbleached breading flour into a large re-sealable container.
  • SEAL the container with flour and seasoning; SHAKE well until thoroughly combined.
  • FOLLOW link to Recipe #393795 for complete brining, preparation and frying instructions (skipping its STEP #3 since you've already done this).
  • ENJOY!

KFC FRIED CHICKEN

Notes: MSG stands for MonosodiumGlutamate. It is a spice, found in your grocery store. It can be sold as MSG or under the brand name "Accent". Some people are extremely allergic to MSG, over 98% of the population is not. It serves to make flavors stronger, and almost pop right out at you. This recipe used to call for Fines herbs, but most people have difficulty in obtaining them. Fines herbs used to be used more frequently many years ago. Fines herbs was a poultry seasoning. Since so many people have difficultly in obtaining the herb, it has been removed from the recipe. If you can access Fines herbs add 2 teaspoons to the flour mixture.

KENTUCKY DEEP FRYER FRIED CHICKEN RECIPE



Kentucky Deep Fryer Fried Chicken Recipe image

Adapted from a recipe found on the internet and made in my vintage sunbeam fryer/cooker. This is awesome! For the chicken pieces, make sure that they are not too big: whole drumstick, whole thigh, but the breast part should be chopped into two. Its also helpful to use the fryer cover-it helps the meat cook through properly.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of chicken pieces for a variety of textures: white meat for tenderness and dark meat for flavor.
  • Marinate the chicken in buttermilk for at least 4 hours or overnight for extra juicy and tender meat.
  • Use a large skillet or pot for frying the chicken to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • Maintain the oil temperature between 350°F and 375°F to prevent burning and ensure the chicken cooks through.
  • Fry the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet or pot when frying the chicken, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy chicken.
  • Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Drain the chicken on paper towels to remove excess oil and keep it crispy.
  • Serve the fried chicken immediately with your favorite sides and dipping sauces.
