SPICY FRIED CHICKEN



Spicy Fried Chicken image

There are so many interpretations of this classic. This version is a little contemporary Southern, and is great for those who like a little kick to their favorites. It does take a bit of time, needing to soak from 8 to 24 hours, which I have not included in the preparation time.

Provided by JackieOhNo

Categories     Chicken Thigh & Leg

Time 1h3m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups buttermilk
4 -6 garlic cloves, smashed
2 1/8 teaspoons salt
1 -1 3/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 -1 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 (2 1/2-3 lb) chicken drumsticks
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
safflower oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Mix buttermilk, garlic, 1/8 t. salt, 1/4-1/2 t. pepper, and 1/4 t. cayenne in wide shallow bowl. Add chicken and turn to coat. Refrigerate 8 hours or overnight, turning once.
  • Transfer drumsticks to wire rack to drain slightly. Combine flour, remaining 2 t. salt, 3/4 to 1-1/4 t. pepper, and 3/4 to 1-1/4 t. cayenne in shallow bowl. Coat drumsticks with flour mixture and place on clean rack or baking sheet. Coat each drumstick again with flour, shake off excess, and let stand at room temperature 30-60 minutes.
  • Heat 1/2 in oil in large heavy skillet or electric frying pan to 350-360 degrees. Add half the drumsticks and adjust heat so that oil remains between 300 and 320 degrees. Fry, turning once, until juices run clear when thickest part of drumstick is pierced with fork, 20-24 minutes. Drain on paper towels and keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining drumsticks. Serve hot or warm.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of chicken pieces for a variety of textures. Drumsticks and thighs are good for dark meat lovers, while breasts and wings are great for white meat fans.
  • Make sure the chicken is completely dry before frying. This will help the breading adhere and prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan.
  • Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper before breading. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken.
  • Use a light touch when breading the chicken. Don't press the breading into the chicken, or it will become too dense.
  • Fry the chicken in batches to prevent overcrowding the pan. This will help the chicken to cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken. This will cause the chicken to steam instead of fry, resulting in soggy chicken.
  • Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute and make the chicken more tender.

Conclusion:

Spicy fried chicken is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special dish for a party, this recipe is sure to please. With its crispy breading, juicy meat, and spicy flavor, this chicken is sure to be a hit.
