Kentucky-Style Fried Chicken image

When fast-food restaurants first started, their goal was to serve good, old-fashioned, country-style home-cooking. These days, it's the reverse...home cooks try to reproduce fast-food. A recipe such as this is what Colonel Sanders wanted to mass market as good as home-cooking when he established KFC, but this old timey recipe is *nothing* like take-out food. This is NOT a copycat recipe for Colonel Harland Sanders' world-famous Kentucky Fried Chicken. If you are in the mood for take-out chicken, please pass this recipe on by. From the Southern chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947 Lovely served with griddlecakes, waffles, mashed potatoes or hominy grits. Don't forget the cream gravy! Cooking time approximate

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 medium whole chicken, cut into serving pieces
1 1/2 cups flour, sifted
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
pepper, to taste
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 egg
1 cup milk (or more as needed for a smooth batter)
fat or oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Steam or poach chicken until tender (I like to poach it in chicken stock); dry and keep cool until time to fry (it is convenient to do thes the day before if a large quantity is needed).
  • Just before frying, make a batter of the remaining ingredients.

  • Dip each piece of steamed chicken in batter and fry until a beautiful golden brown.

This recipe is a game-changer! I used to fry chicken the traditional way, but this recipe is so much easier and the chicken turns out so much better. I will never fry chicken the old way again.

I've tried several fried chicken recipes, but this one is by far the best. The chicken is always crispy and juicy, and the flavor is amazing. I love that I can use this recipe to make chicken tenders or a whole chicken. It's so versatile!

This recipe is so easy to follow and the chicken turned out delicious! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they were cooked perfectly. The breading was crispy and flavorful, and the chicken was juicy and tender. I will definitely be making

This recipe is a keeper! The chicken was so flavorful and the breading was perfect. I used a cast iron skillet to fry the chicken and it turned out crispy and golden brown. I will definitely be making this recipe again.
