How do you make your fried chicken?

Fried Chicken

You won't even miss the seven herbs and spices.

Ingredients:

6 c Crisco cooking oil

1 Egg; beaten

2 c Milk

2 c Flour

4 tb Salt

2 ts Black pepper

1 ts MSG (optional)

2 Frying chickens; with skin, cut into 6 pieces

Prep:

Bring oil in pressure cooker over medium heat to about 375 deg F.

In a small bowl, combine the egg and milk. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining four dry ingredients. Dip each piece of chicken into the milk until fully moistened, then roll in flour mixture until completely coated. In groups of four or five, drop the covered chicken pieces into the oil and lock the lid in place.

When steam begins shooting through the pressure release, set the timer for 10 min. After 10 min, release pressure according to manufacturer's instructions, and remove the chicken to paper towels or metal rack to drain. Repeat with remaining chicken.

Dear Amy,

This is an old tried and true southern fried chicken recipe.

Wash and dry chicken pieces, season lightly with salt.

In one bowl, mix flour, salt, pepper, sage ( ground ), thyme, onion and garlic powder. Mix well.

Dredge chicken in flour, then in egg wash (beaten eggs with a little buttermilk) then into bread crumbs. Fry in as deep of oil as you can, turning once. Oil is ready when a drop of water "dances" on the oil.

enjoy!

You sound right on: I used to add a shake or two of turmeric to the flour mixture: it gives the fried chicken a nice golden color. As it was finished (the legs and wings cook quicker than thighs and breasts, I would put them in the oven to keep them warm) Alas, fried chicken is no longer on my good food list :(

well you can Beat an egg up and coat the Chicken in that and then roll it in your flour and or Meal.I like to use The kfc seasoned flour Mix My Self.Then you can bake or fry or even deep fry it.

DIP THE CHICKEN IN FLOUR THEN EGG AND THEN BREAD CRUMBS AND FRY..make sure to use lawrys season salt it is the best!!! you can also use bisquick mix instead of flour yummy!!!

i season mine with seasoned salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. then i roll it in flour. i set the chicken on a plate and put it in the fridge for an hour or so.

after that, i half fill a big pot with canola oil and set the grease on medium heat until it gets HOT!

i slowly add in the chicken pieces in the hot oil and let it fry for about 25 minutes and let it cook until it's a deep brown color. i then let it drain on a paper towel to cool.

Make sure that when you wash the chicken, you don't leave it dripping wet. If you do, it will cause terrible grease splatter. Also make sure that the grease is not too hot because it will cook the outside too quickly while leaving the inside raw.

that sounds right
