The absolute best fried chicken recipe
last month
Disclaimer: I am not going to cook any of these recipes. This is research for a novel that I'm writing, where fried chicken is a key plot element. The title of the book will be "The More Dangerous the Zip Code, the Better the Chicken" and it's a takeoff from the caption of the cartoon below.
I don't need exact quantities. What I'm looking for are unique ingredients and/or techniques.
Thanks and a tip of the hat to all!

Comments (15)Scotty : In the Restuarant, I did it like Kframe19 but I seasoned the flour with some onion and garlic powder. Shake it and into the egg mixture and then into the seasoned bread crumbs. Cover with the crumbs and Pat them a little. Then into the hot frying pan. I took them out, onto paper towels to absorb some of the oil. For the bread Crumb Mixture : I used San Georgio Italian Seasoned Bread crumbs and added a tablespoon of flour, some Garlic Powder ,Onion Powder, Parmesan Cheese,Black Pepper, Parsley Flakes and Salt. I have tried the Cheaper store brands but didn't like them. I think they are made with White Bread crumbs. If you are using a cast Iron Frying Pan , get it hot first before you put the oil in the pan. Cook the chicken in hot oil but not smoking hot. Hope this Helps, LOU said all of that ?????

Comments (15)When I fry anything, I use self rising flour....or you could add a little bit of baking powder. The baking powder will make the crust lighter and crisper. I use flour...and an egg wash...and the meat that I use would either be cube steak or just tenderized round steak. That is my preferred way to fry anything...except chicken, I use buttermilk. I even fry oysters in flour now, since I don't like the grittiness of corn meal. Cracker meal is good for oysters though....also fish....See MoreFried chicken strips from scratch?
Comments (14)interesting challenge. Adult chicken fingers. I would think any good fried chicken recipe would work. Tossed in fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, garlic, then some buttermilk for an hour...then the breading. A bit of parmesan in the crumb. I have to toast in a low oven my homemade frozen bread to get it dry enough to make crumbs. I always have panko in the freezer as a back-up. Very handy to have. We don't fry at home or ever breading and bake since we have it out and about...just sometimes a tiny bit of crumb after steaming and under the broiler a minute for a crisp herb and bread crumb toping. I made chicken fingers, fish sticks and veggie rice/grain balls a few years ago for kids and adults. (baked) My niece and nephew were tiny so that is over ten yrs ago, (time flies). The only thing that made it kid food was the ketchup bottle. Homemade tarter sauce for the adults. And a sesame soy ginger sauce as we grilled non-breaded seafood and shish-ka-bobs. I remember trying to avoid the hot dog and burger diet so common. Funny we are back to perfecting and embracing the burger and dog for weekend get-togethers. With many more veggie sides than the past....See More
