Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons onion salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 whole chicken (2 breasts, 2 thighs, 2 drumsticks, 2 wings)
1 egg white
2 quarts neutral oil, for frying

Steps:

Preheat fryer to 350°F. Thoroughly mix together all spices.
Combine spices with flour, brown sugar and salt.
Dip chicken pieces in egg white to lightly coat them, then transfer to flour mixture. Turn a few times and make sure the flour mix is really stuck to the chicken. Repeat with all the chicken pieces.
Let chicken pieces rest for 5 minutes so crust has a chance to dry a bit.
Fry chicken in batches. Breasts and wings should take 12-14 minutes, and legs and thighs will need a few more minutes. Chicken pieces are done when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F.
Let chicken drain on a few paper towels when it comes out of the fryer. Serve hot.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

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.

KENTUCKY COLESLAW

Kentucky Coleslaw image

We love going to Kentucky Fried Chicken. Although we enjoy the chicken, we actually go for the coleslaw. We buy several pints at a time. I make several versions of cole slaw but we sometime just want this. I tried for several years before getting this recipe right. I think I have figured it out now.If you are in a hurry get a bag of the preshredded slaw mix. It is not quite as good as grating it yourself though. -Donna Gribbins, Shelbyville, Kentucky
