What is the recipe to make a crispy yet juicy fried chicken?

One way to keep your chicken juicy is not to over cook!!





Here is a great way to fry chicken that is crisp and juicy. This is the ONLY way i fry chicken.





Buttermilk Fried Chicken...





Cover cut up chicken with ice water and salt heavily.( Chicken will not be over salted.) Soak several hours.


Drain; now cover chicken with buttermilk: soak an hour





Put flour in a ziplock bag and add pepper: Let excess buttermilk drip from chicken and drop a couple of pieces in flour......close bag and shake to coat. Do all pieces of chicken. Let flour coated chicken pieces dry on paper towels or wax paper.





Fry in a cast iron skillet with a half an inch of Crisco or cooking oil. Oil should be very hot but not smoking.....do not allow chicken pieces to touch.....fry on one side until golden brown then turn and fry on other side. Use tongs when turning chicken....not a fork!!What is the recipe to make a crispy yet juicy fried chicken?

Personally I think the secret to crispy and juicy fried chicken is to turn the chicken only once. Let it get done on one side and then turn it over and let that side get done and don't touch it anymore until you lift it out of the pan.
I cut my boneless skinless chicken breasts into chunks and then soak them in milk with a couple of beaten eggs....then I completely coat my chicken with Panko bread crumbs that I get at the local Oriental market...I deep fry them and they are very moist and slightly crunchy....My kids love these it is the only way they want chicken any more and my husband sure likes them too. Hope this helps.

First wash the chicken pieces, then dip them in flour, then in buttermilk and then back into the flour. Fry in oil. Keep turn chicken till golden brown.
i got a recipe for kfc off the secret recipe site, the secret is you dip the chicken in egg milk wash, then the seasoned flour, flour, salt pepper chicken salt-


the juiciness comes from the way its fried, deef fry in oil in a pressure cooker, i just use my deep fryer and keep the lid in for approx 10 minutes


it really is finger licking
I like to use boneless skinless chicken breast. Wash chicken, drizzle with olive oil, dip in flavored bread crumbs. Bake on sprayed cookie sheet on 350degrees for 45 minutes or until juices run clear. Yum

No matter what batter you use the best way is to fry in good oil and most IMPORTANT OF ALL = the oil must be hot - not smoking but hot. Some use a thermometer.... I've been cooking for so long that I don't. Remember when you put the chicken in the oil its (the oil) temperature will drop so you'll have to turn up the heat and then lower it again soon after in order to keep a constant temp.
