THE CRISPIEST FRIED CHICKEN RECIPE BY TASTY
We tested dozens of different methods to fried chicken and we finally found what we think is the crispiest and juiciest version. The first step is to dry brine the chicken, which is a fancy way of saying to season it overnight. This process actually helps the meat retain its moisture while frying, making it extra juicy. The next step is the double-dredge method where you dip the chicken in seasoned flour, then in buttermilk, then back in the flour before frying to get those extra crackly bits. Let us know what you think!

Steps:
- Dry brine the chicken: In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and lemon zest.
- Pat the chicken pieces dry with a paper towel and season with the salt mixture, evenly coating each piece.
- Line a large resealable container with paper towels and add the seasoned chicken. Refrigerate uncovered for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- 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.
- Enjoy!

40 LEFTOVER CHICKEN RECIPES THAT AREN’T TOTALLY BORING

- Chicken Tinga Tacos. All you need are a few pantry ingredients (plus a few fun toppings), and dinner will be ready in 30 minutes. We can’t get enough of the quick chipotle pepper blender sauce drizzled on top.
- Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad Stuffed Peppers. They’re ideal for packing in your kid’s lunch box, but you won’t be disappointed if you keep a few for yourself.
- Spicy Enchiladas with Pumpkin Seeds. A little secret: After Thanksgiving, we stuff these with leftover turkey, but they’re just as delicious with chicken any other time of year.
- 15-Minute Buffalo Chicken Sliders. Serve these at your next party, but don’t tell anyone how easy they were to make.
- Rotisserie Chicken Ramen. Even with the simplest ingredients, this sure beats the microwave cups of ramen we ate in college.
- Crispy Baked Chicken Burritos. Bonus: You can freeze these cuties for up to a month, so if you make a double batch, you’ll be well prepared for your next craving.
- The Ultimate Chicken Potpie. Whether it’s the most comforting food of all time is still up for debate. What we do know is that they’re worth breaking out your trusty cast-iron skillet.
- Spicy Lemon-Ginger Chicken Soup. By swapping in leftover cooked chicken, you can skip an entire step and save at least an hour’s worth of work in the process.
- Lemon-Roasted Potatoes, Chicken and Spinach with Tzatziki. This dish takes 35 minutes, tops. Streamline it even further by skipping the boneless chicken breasts when you roast the potatoes.
- Avocado Chicken Salad. Chicken salad? A classic. Gloppy chicken salad? Less so. We gave it a modern twist with just two tablespoons of mayonnaise and, of course, avocado.

- Moisten with a simple sauce. Barbeque sauce, pesto, and soy sauce all pair well with chicken, as do many other pasta sauces and condiments. If you’re feeling fancy, you can even make your own: try mixing some hot sauce and lemon juice to give the chicken a nice tangy kick.
- Add it to soup. stu_spivack on Flickr. This one can be used for creamy or clear soups—chicken pairs well with anything from minestrone to broccoli cheddar.
- Pair it with Pasta. Katrin Gilger on Flickr. Pasta bar at your dining hall? Or maybe there’s some leftover pasta salad in the fridge? Mix in the chicken to give it a little extra protein—the sauce from the pasta will cover up the dryness of the chicken.
- Quesadilla that shit. mealmakeovermoms on Flickr. Cut up or shred your chicken anyway you want (or can), spread it out on a tortilla, then cover it with your cheese of choice from the sandwich station and put it on a panini press, microwave, or even in a waffle iron to melt the cheese (because melted cheese fixes everything).
- Salad toppings for days. alanagkelly on Flickr. If you’re looking for a lighter option, you can use the chicken as a topping for a salad (like this chickpea and quinoa salad).
- Dip it. mrsdkrebs on Flickr. Pretty much any sort of dip that would usually go on chips is also be great on chicken: hummus, salsa, bean dip, you name it.
- Sandwich it. Lara604 on Flickr. Three words: chicken salad sandwich. The mayonnaise (or avocado in this recipe) adds extra moisture, and celery (if you have it) gives a nice crunch.
