Perfect Fried Chicken

Who doesn’t like fried chicken? Fried chicken is loved and enjoyed by people in many countries. It is always best to trust your own taste buds, so experiment and try different methods to get your perfect fried chicken.

Several cooks prepare their fried chicken by soaking in buttermilk or brine process for a juicy and tender fried chicken. This is done by placing cut chicken or pieces of chicken in brine solution and then placed in the refrigerator for half an hour or few hours; avoid brining chicken pieces for overnight. After removing the brine chicken, dip into the egg mixture and then coat with flour. Some used their own mixed batter ingredients before finally coating with flour. After coating all the chicken pieces, give few minutes to rest for the coat to stick on the chicken pieces.

For easier and faster processing, some are buying the instant breading mix or frying mix available in department stores. This ready mixed seasoning is coated into the chicken pieces, let rest for few minutes and then fry.

Deep frying – when deep frying, always use fresh oil to avoid contamination of flavors to the food. Fill half of the frying fan with oil and make sure the oil is hot enough before placing the chicken pieces. Fry chicken pieces by batches, when cooked remove and drain, then let cool. Serve with rice and gravy – perfect!

There are fast foods that offer perfect fried chickens – kfc is one :-)
