CLASSIC SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN



Classic Southern Fried Chicken image

This is a basic Southern fried chicken recipe and the only one you will ever need. Chicken pieces are fried to perfection with a seasoned flour coating.

Provided by Diana Rattray

Categories     Entree     Dinner

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups milk
2 large eggs
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons salt (plus additional for sprinkling)
2 teaspoons black pepper
4 pounds chicken (bone-in, skin-on pieces)
3 cups vegetable oil (or amount needed for frying)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 200 F and place a rack in a large baking pan.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the milk and eggs. Whisk to blend well.
  • In a large heavy-duty resealable plastic food storage bag, combine the flour, 2 tablespoons salt, and pepper. Seal and shake to combine.
  • Dip the chicken pieces in the milk and egg mixture and let excess drip off into the bowl. Set already dipped pieces aside on a plate until you have three or four.
  • Add the dipped chicken pieces to the bag of seasoned flour.
  • Seal the bag and shake well to coat the chicken pieces thoroughly.
  • Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining chicken pieces.
  • Heat the oil in a deep, heavy skillet to 350 F. While it's heating up, set aside a large serving plate lined with paper towels.
  • Fry the chicken, a few pieces at a time, for about 10 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and thoroughly cooked. Be careful not to put too many chicken pieces in at once-even if they can comfortably fit-since this will dramatically drop the temperature of the oil, affecting the crispness of the final product. Note that chicken breasts will take a little less time than dark meat pieces.
  • With a slotted spoon, move the done chicken pieces onto the paper towel-lined platter to drain. Sprinkle immediately with salt.
  • Transfer the drained and seasoned chicken to the prepared pan with a rack. Keep warm in the preheated oven while frying subsequent batches. Depending on the size of your pan, this recipe will require about 3 to 4 batches.

My recipe for some of the best fried chicken you can make... and eat, prepared with my Recipe #506948. PLEASE NOTE: The Nutritional Information listing here is inaccurate -- since only a fraction of flour, eggs and salt actually end up in the finished product. So be aware -- the suggested sodium, sugar, carbohydrate and calorie levels are ridiculously exaggerated!

Provided by The Spice Guru

Categories     Chicken

Time P1DT1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 quarts cold water
2 tablespoons fine sea salt
2 teaspoons Accent seasoning
10 -12 fresh cut-up skin-on chicken pieces
1/3 cup seasoning (Savory Southern Fried Seasoning)
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
4 large beaten eggs
peanut oil

Steps:

  • NOTE: YOU CAN SINGLE-BREAD OR DOUBLE-BREAD CHICKEN WITH THIS RECIPE (SEE STEP 6).
  • WHISK 2 quarts cold water (8 cups) with 2 tablespoons fine sea salt and 2 teaspoons Accent seasoning in a large wide saucepan (with an accompanying lid) until dissolved, for the BRINE.
  • RINSE and blot chicken pieces; ADD chicken pieces to marinade; COVER and transfer to refrigerator; MARINATE chicken at least 4 hours in refrigerator (preferably overnight), turning chicken as needed.
  • INTO a large Ziploc bag, add the BREADING ingredients; BREAK up any clumps if present, by hand or using the back of a spoon; SEAL bag containing mixture; SHAKE well until combined.
  • BEAT 4 eggs in a large bowl, for the EGGWASH; REMOVE chicken from brine with tongs; BLOT pieces with paper towels.
  • TO SINGLE-BREAD CHICKEN: Dip one piece breaded chicken using tongs, into the eggwash to wet completely. Drop chicken into the breading. Roll chicken well in the breading to coat. Place breaded chicken onto platter to rest for 15-20 minutes. Repeat with remaining pieces. TO DOUBLE-BREAD CHICKEN: Add 5 teaspoons flour plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch to breading and mix well. Drop chicken into the breading and roll it well in the breading to coat. Drop chicken into the eggwash to wet completely. Quickly return chicken to the breading and roll again to coat well. Place double-breaded chicken onto platter to rest for 15-20 minutes. Repeat with remaining pieces.
  • PREHEAT manufacturer's recommended amount of peanut oil in deep-fryer between to 315°F (OR) preheat enough oil to immerse chicken completely in deep heavy stovetop pot between to 315°F (use a heat-safe thermometer to gauge).
  • PLACE breaded chicken to the elevated fry basket in deep-fryer without crowding; LOWER the basket slowly into the hot oil (or gently lower breaded chicken pieces using tongs into stovetop pot, turning once halfway through frying duration).
  • FRY chicken between 16-20 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked, depending on chicken portions/sizes (juices should run clear when chicken is done).
  • DRAIN on a wire rack over a paper towel-lined baking sheet; REPEAT the same cooking procedures until all chicken is fried. DRAIN chicken on a wire rack over a paper towel-lined baking sheet; TRANSFER rack over a baking sheet and keep chicken warmed in a preheated 170°F oven until serving; SERVE and enjoy!

SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN



Southern Fried Chicken image

Thanks Paula Deen (FoodTV) for the best fried chicken I have ever made! It has a nice, savory flavor and a coating that has just the right amount of crispiness. It was a good thing I had an extra cut-up chicken in the refrigerator because my family was begging for it again the next day. Although it calls for what seems like a lot of hot pepper sauce, it isn't any spicier than Jack-In-the Box's Spicy Crispy Chicken--you can take it!! FYI I made this using 10 pounds of wings--enough of the hot sauce/egg mixture to cover, but you will need to double flour mixture if you want to do this much. I'm not saying it tastes like KFC--only that you won't be doing business with them anymore.

Provided by SharleneW

Categories     Chicken

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs cut-up chicken
4 eggs
1/3 cup water
1 cup hot sauce (I use Louisiana Hot Sauce, Tabasco might be hotter)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Heat peanut oil in a large deep pot to 350°F (do not fill more than half full--you don't want a hot-oil spill-over accident!).
  • For sauce mixture: in a medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs with the water.
  • Add hot sauce and whisk together well.
  • Pour this mixture into a large plastic zip-top bag.
  • For seasoning mixture: In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
  • For dredging mixture: In a another bowl, mix flour, baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • Rinse and pat dry chicken pieces with a paper towel.
  • Cut breast pieces in half across ribs.
  • Sprinkle chicken generously on both sides with seasoning blend.
  • Drop a few chicken pieces of chicken into bag of sauce mixture and squish around to coat thoroughly.
  • One piece at a time, roll chicken in flour mixture and drop into hot oil.
  • Don't crowd chicken pieces--I cook about half the chicken at a time.
  • Fry chicken until brown and crisp.
  • Drain on paper toweling.
  • Dark meat will take about 14 minutes, white meat about 10 minutes.
  • Remember smaller pieces cook faster than the larger ones.
  • You can check for doneness by piercing to the bone in the thickest part with a fork.
  • If the juices run clear, it is done.

THE "PERFECT" SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN



The

Posted in the June 28th Chicago Tribune Food section - great tasting chicken! This recipe combines the best advice of the experts: brining for moist, juicy chicken; marinating in buttermilk for tenderness; seasoned flour for a crisp crust; and a little bacon grease mixed into the frying fat to add savory flavor. The brining and marinating mean you'll have to think ahead--start this recipe at lunchtime the day you'll set it on the table. Remember that the side you start frying a piece on will always look better than the other side.
