Maries Fried Chicken Recipes

FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Make the spice blend: Combine the berbere, paprika, celery salt, white pepper, cumin, garlic powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a bowl. Brine the chicken: Stir 1 cup salt and 8 cups cold water in a large bowl until the salt dissolves. Add the chicken to the brine, cover and refrigerate 1 hour, 30 minutes. Remove the chicken from the brine and pat dry. Marinate the chicken: Whisk the buttermilk, coconut milk, minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon of the prepared spice blend in a large bowl. (Reserve the remaining spice blend for sprinkling.) Submerge the chicken in the marinade; cover and refrigerate overnight. Heat the oil: Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and let it almost come to room temperature, about 1 hour. Fill a large cast-iron skillet about halfway with peanut oil; add the rosemary and whole garlic cloves. Heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 360 degrees F, or until a pinch of flour added to the oil sizzles and rises to the surface.
• Bread the chicken: While the oil heats, mix the all-purpose flour, semolina flour, cornstarch and white pepper on a baking sheet. Remove the chicken from the marinade with tongs, letting the excess drip off. Roll the chicken in the flour mixture to coat thoroughly, then sprinkle more of the flour mixture on top.
• Fry the chicken: Shake off any excess flour from the chicken, then, using tongs, carefully lower each piece into the hot oil. Fry, turning occasionally, until just cooked through, about 7 minutes. (Reduce the heat to medium if the crust starts to brown too quickly.) Transfer to a rack and let rest, 10 minutes. Discard the garlic cloves and rosemary. Fry again: Reheat the oil until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F to 380 degrees F. Fry the chicken again, this time in 2 batches to avoid crowding the pan, until the breading is crisp and deep golden brown, about 1 minute.
• Season the chicken: Transfer the chicken to the rack to cool slightly, and sprinkle with the reserved spice blend. Keep the fried chicken warm in a 250 degrees F oven for up to 1 hour before serving, or let cool and pack for a picnic.

MIKE'S FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat enough canola oil to come about 4 inches up the sides of a deep-fryer to 275 degrees F. Combine all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Wash and pat dry the chicken parts. Dip the chicken in the dry mixture and shake off the excess. Carefully add the chicken, in batches, to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 25 to 35 minutes. Chicken will float when done. Drain on paper towels, then arrange the chicken pieces on a serving platter and serve.

MISS LAMIE'S FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the chicken parts into a large bowl. Toss with 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt, pepper, thyme, and onions. Cover and let season in the fridge for at least an hour or up to overnight.
• Spread the bread crumbs, combined with the remaining salt, out on a plate. Pour the eggs over the chicken, coating each piece completely. Roll each chicken piece in the bread crumbs. Discard the onions.
• Heat a 14-inch skillet (or two smaller skillets) over high heat until a drop of water skitters around, then swirl 1 inch of oil into the pan. Reduce the heat to medium high, add the chicken pieces in a single layer, and fry until the chicken is well browned on all sides, about 30 to 40 minutes. Work in batches if necessary. Drain on paper towels and serve.

MILLIE'S MAGNIFICENT FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• To cut down some frying time, you can partially cook chicken. Sometimes I boil pieces or will cook in a frying pan with some extra virgin olive oil.
• In a shallow plate or bowl, mix the flour, seasoned salt, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
• In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs.
• Dip the chicken pieces in egg and roll or shake in flour mixture. Dip back into eggs and then back into flour mixture for double coating.
• In a large skillet, heat oil for frying.
• Fry coated chicken on each side for about 5 minutes.
• Cover skillet and cook on lower heat for about 10 minutes.
• Remove cover, turn up heat and fry for 5 minutes on each side to make chicken crispy.
• **Chicken is done when no longer pink inside and juices run clear.**.
• Drain fried chicken on paper towels and keep warm in oven until ready to serve.
• In fryer, I heat to 350-400 degrees F.
• Drop chicken in the basket and fry for about 7 minutes or until chicken is crispy and fully cooked. *This is the reason that I partially cook the chicken - to make sure that it gets thoroughly cooked and so it stays juicy*
• Eat with favorite dipping sauce or just crispy! ENJOY!

• 30 minutes before frying, remove the chicken from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature.
• Add the canola oil to a large Dutch oven and heat over medium heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C). Place a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet and set nearby.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt.
• In a separate large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg whites, and vodka.
• Working with one piece at a time, coat the dry-brined chicken in the flour mixture, then in the buttermilk mixture, then again in the flour, shaking off any excess.
• Add 2-3 pieces of chicken to the hot oil and fry for 7-10 minutes, flipping once, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the exterior is golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil, transfer to the wire rack, and season with salt. Repeat with the remaining chicken.

FRIED CHICKEN BY MARCUS SAMUELSSON RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over high heat, add 2 cups (470 ml) of water and the salt. Bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve all the salt. Remove from heat and pour into a larger pot/container.
• Add the ice water into the pot to cool. Add the chicken, cover, and refrigerate for 1 ½ hours.
• Prepare the chicken shake. In a small bowl, whisk together all the chicken shake ingredients.
• NOTE: Makes about 1 cup (110g) that will keep for 6 months. Store in a jar out of the light.
• In a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking dish, add buttermilk, coconut milk, and garlic.
• Add 1 tablespoon of chicken shake and whisk together.
• Remove the chicken from the saltwater, dab on paper towels to remove excess liquid, then add into the buttermilk marinade. Roll to coat each piece. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Fill a large cast iron pan ⅔-full with peanut oil over medium-high heat. Heat to 360˚F (182˚C).
• While the oil is heating, coat the marinated chicken. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, semolina flour, cornstarch, and white pepper.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, then roll in the flour mixture, packing it on so the chicken is completely coated.
• Set coated chicken on a wire rack over a baking sheet. If the coating looks damp, roll it in the flour mixture again.
• Working in batches, fry the chicken until it is brown and golden on both sides and reaches an internal temperature of 165˚F (73˚C), about 10 minutes per batch. NOTE: Adjust heat to keep the oil between 350-375˚F (180-190˚C).
• Drain on a rack set over a baking sheet. Rest 8-10 minutes.
