To prepare the Kentucky fried chicken you will require the following ingredients.
Ingredients:
- 1 good chicken (Kosher or ‘natural’ chickens are usually best), cut into serving pieces, or use 8 to 10 leg pieces (drumsticks and thighs), trimmed of excess fat.
and
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
or
fines herbes mix:
- 1 tsp chopped chives
- 1 tsp chopped parsley
- 1 tsp chopped tarragon
- 1 tsp chopped chervil
- (or any combination of the above, plus whatever else you fancy)
Plus
- 1 egg
- 1 cup flour
- 1 – 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper (more or less to taste)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Enough oil or lard to fill skillet to a depth of about 1/2″ – lard, lard and butter combined or vegetable: Crisco shortening, corn, canola, peanut. Canola or corn oil imparts the least flavor, lard the most. Crisco shortening seems to result in the ‘crispest’ chicken. Canola is considered the healthiest.
Note: Take large heavy skillet or casserole with cover; large mixing bowl; tongs or a big fork for handling chicken pieces, frying thermometer (ideally).
Method:
- Take a bowl, mix chicken with salt, pepper, spices, garlic, chili, egg and 2 tablespoons water.
- When thoroughly combined, blend in flour, using your hands. Keep mixing until most of the flour is blended with other ingredients and chicken is coated, add more water or flour if mixture is too thin or too dry; it should be dry but not powdery and not too wet, it has to adhere to the chicken.
- Add enough fat oil to your skillet to come to a depth of about 1/2 inch and turn heat to medium. If you are using butter, skim any foam as it rises to the surface.
- When oil is hot raise heat to high. Slowly add chicken pieces to skillet. Cover skillet, reduce heat to medium (more or less – oil should sizzle but not smoke) and cook for 7 minutes.
- Uncover the skillet, turn chicken and continue to cook, uncovered, for another 7 minutes.
- Turn chicken again and cook for about 5 minutes more, turning as necessary to ensure that both sides are golden brown.
- Remove chicken from skillet and drain on paper towels placed on newspaper (for additional absorption). Serve chicken immediately, or cold.
Kentucky Fried chicken recipe Review:
The Kentucky Fried chicken is very good and easy too, just watch the heat and make sure that oil is heated first and more on the medium as well as low side. This chicken turned out to be great. It does tend to over brown so you should to fry at a little lower temperature. You can serve it with tomato soup or tomato bouillon.
