FRENCH FRIED CHICKEN
Adapted from Fried Chicken by Rebecca Lang I cut my chicken into eight pieces; two legs, two thighs, two breasts and two wings. If your chicken is large, you can cut the breasts crosswise into two pieces, leaving the wings attached, or you can cut them off if they're large, for a total of 10 pieces. I used duck fat, which is a luxury in some places. You can use canola oil for frying the chicken if you wish. I used about 2 cups (500g) of duck fat. (In her book, Rebecca discussed the different frying fats and which works best for what recipe and result.) I worked in two batches, since only four pieces fit in my pan at a time. I did find that I had quite a bit of the flour/cornmeal mixture leftover, which may be because French chickens are leaner than their American counterparts. If you wish, make the flour/cornmeal mixture and set about one-quarter of it aside. As you toss the chicken, if you need more, use it. Otherwise reserve it and use it in another baking project. (Update: A commenter recommended using it in case you make gravy.)

Steps:
- Put the chicken in a zip top bag with the buttermilk marinade ingredients: the buttermilk, Dijon mustard, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, Dijon, buttermilk and cayenne. Massage everything together, seal the bag, and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
- When ready to fry, set two wire racks over two baking sheets. Mix together the flour, cornmeal, salt and pepper in a paper bag or a large bowl. Remove the chicken pieces from the buttermilk brine and coat them with the flour mixture, working a few pieces at a time, making sure the pieces are thoroughly coated. (Toss them in the closed bag, or use your hands and toss them in the bowl.) Gently shake off some of the excess flour and set them on one of the wire racks over a baking sheet.
- In a large, heavy skillet, such as cast iron, heat about 1 1/4-inch (4cm) of duck fat or canola oil. If using a deep-fry thermometer, the temperature should read 350ºF (180ºC) when ready to fry.
- Carefully place as many pieces of the chicken as will fit in the pan without crowding it, skin side down. The temperature will decrease but try to keep the temperature of the oil around 325ºF (162ºC) as you fry.
- Fry the chicken until the bottom is nicely browned, then use tongs to turn the chicken over and fry until the other side is browned and crisp. The chicken will take about 20 to 25 minutes to cook, total, and if you want to verify that it's cooked, cut into the thigh piece near the bone; if the juices run clear, it's done.
- As the chicken is done, remove the pieces and set them on the wire rack. Use a slotted spoon or strainer to skin the fat or oil of stray pieces of chicken, so they don't burn, then fry the remaining pieces of chicken.
FRENCH FRIED CHICKEN
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 similar to 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. Turkey can also be prepared using this method. From the Mississippi Valley chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947. Overnight resting time not included in preparation time. Preparation time approximate.

FRENCH TOAST FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH
Steps:
- In a bowl, combine the maple syrup, mustard and a few shakes of hot sauce. Set aside.
- Thin out the pancake batter a little bit with the milk. Set aside.
- Preheat a deep fryer to 350 degrees F.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, chili powder and paprika. Dip the chicken in the egg, then in the flour to coat. Fry the chicken until crispy and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Place the chicken on a wire rack or paper-towel-lined plate to drain the excess oil.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet set over medium heat. Dip the brioche slices in the prepared pancake batter and cook until lightly browned on both sides.
- Place a chicken thigh on one piece of bread, drizzle with some of the mustard sauce, and then top with another piece of bread. Repeat for the remaining chicken and bread. Spoon more mustard sauce over the top, then cut the sandwiches in half and serve.
FRIED CHICKEN
Steps:
- Cut the whole chickens into 4 breasts, 4 thighs, 4 legs and 4 wings and set aside.
- Preheat your oil, in either a heavy pan on the stove or a deep-fryer, to 325 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne pepper until thoroughly mixed. Set aside.
- Pour the buttermilk into another bowl large enough for the chicken to be immersed in the buttermilk.
- Prepare your dredging station. Place your chicken in a bowl. Next to that, your bowl of buttermilk, and next to that, your dry mixture.
- Take your breasts, lightly dust them with your flour mixture, then dip them in the buttermilk until they are coated, and then place them in the flour mixture.
- Take the breasts that are in the flour mixture and aggressively push the flour mixture into the wet chicken. Make sure that the chicken in very thoroughly coated, or you will not achieve the crust and crunch you are looking for. Gently place the breasts in your hot oil.
- Next, repeat the dredging steps with your other pieces of chicken in this order: thigh, leg then wing.
- When you place the last wing into the fryer, you should have 16 pieces of chicken in the oil. Set a timer for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, take a probe thermometer and check the temperature of a breast. If it reads 180 degrees F, all of your chicken is done. (Keep in mind that it will continue to cook after it has been removed from the fryer.)
- Remove the chicken from the oil and let it drain for 5 minutes. Let cool for an additional 10 minutes before serving.

10 FRENCH CHICKEN RECIPES TO MAKE RIGHT NOW | KITCHN
From thekitchn.com
- French Chicken Casserole a la Normande from Vikalinka. Bacon, apples, sautéed shallots, and a little fresh thyme bring the classic flavors of Normandy into this chicken casserole.
- Braised French Onion Chicken with Gruyère. French onion soup is one of the most iconic dishes around, and somehow, improbably, this version — adding chicken thighs and mustard — manages to leave the best parts intact while creating a wholly different dish.
- Slow Cooker Creamy French Mustard Chicken. “More mustard” is all but a motto when it comes to cooking chicken in the French style, and this slow-cooker dish takes that to heart, adding both grainy and smooth Dijon mustards to the classic base of white wine, shallots, and cream.
- Chicken Cordon Bleu from A Family Feast. If comfort food were designed in a lab to be the most comforting, it would come out like chicken cordon bleu: breading on the outside, creamy sauce over top, and cheesy ham inside.
- Crispy Skillet Chicken in White Wine Sauce from A Saucy Kitchen. Wine is chicken’s culinary best friend. The French are well aware (you’ll see it multiple times on this page), and incorporate it nicely into recipes like this one.
- Creamy Champagne Chicken from Cafe Delites. Silky sauces and perfectly cooked chicken complement each other’s textures in a way that makes for a stellar dish.
- Roasted Chicken Thighs with Garlic from Cooking Classy. Roasted chicken is good, but roasting the thighs alone gives you all the best parts without having to share or settle for breast meat.
- Lemon Garlic Chicken Thighs from Damn Delicious. While the previous recipe highlights how well the skin of a chicken thigh crisps up, this one takes the same garlicky goodness, adds some lemon, and shows how great the thigh — minus the skin and bone — can hold moisture through a high-heat trip to the grill.
- Slow Cooker Coq au Vin from Diethood. Another classic from the annals of French chicken dishes, but this time turned into an easy slow cooker, set-it-and-forget-it recipe.
- Dorie Greenspan’s Herb Butter Chicken. Of course, nothing is better than a simple roast chicken, and everybody has their own favorite. So why not look to one of our kitchen queens for her standard version?
