Fried chicken is near the top of the list when it comes to
comfort food. Succulent moist chicken covered in a crispy
batter is one of the most delicious foods there is. You can
deep fry, pan fry, or even oven fry chicken. Fried chicken
is also known as southern fried chicken and there are plenty
of different fried chicken recipes to have a go at to suit
your taste.
Fried Chicken Tips for Beginners
Do not worry if you have never made fried chicken before.
There is a first time for everybody and frying chicken is
not difficult. You have to be careful when handling raw
chicken. Using hot soapy water to wash everything the raw
chicken has come into contact with is important. In order to
make a fried chicken recipe, you need to dip your chicken
into a batter and fry it until it is golden brown on the
outside and cooked all the way through.
One of the easiest ways to coat the chicken pieces is to put
the dry ingredients into a Ziploc bag and shake the chicken
pieces in this mixture, a few at a time. Then you can dip
them into batter and fry them. This method also prevents
mess!
If you dredge your chicken in flour, then into an egg yolk
and milk mixture before dipping it into breadcrumbs, your
chicken will come out really crispy and crunchy.
Be very careful with hot oil and never leave it unattended.
Never have your face too near to the oil because it can
spatter. Use tongs to remove the chicken from the hot oil.
Different chicken parts cook at different rates so if you
are using a variety of chicken pieces, you will need to
start the thighs and legs first because these cook at 165
degrees F. Next add the breasts, turning the heat down to
160 degrees F and finally the wings which cook the fastest.
If your chicken is ready before the rest of the meal, do not
panic. Just put some water in an oven dish and put some
rolled up foil balls into it. Put a large piece of tin foil
across the top, put the chicken on this, and cover
everything with a lid. Keep it in a 175 degrees F oven until
the rest of the meal has finished cooking. The foil works as
a steamer, keeping the chicken moist and tender.

If you are making party food, fried chicken is always a
popular dish. Estimating how much food for a party is the
right amount can be hard but make too much rather than too
little because it is nice cold the following day. Serve
mayonnaise, catsup, and other dips on the buffet table so
people have something to dip their fried chicken into if
they choose too.
Fried chicken is a classic comfort food and no one knows how
to make it better than the southern United States. If you
